I don't want to see any of the other Scions in 7.0.

If my first exposure to FFXIV was the CGI ad of the twins from Endwalker I would instantly write off the game as not for me. Alphinaud is nothing more than a blunt tool with which to force in messaging whenever necessary and Alisae is just a headache now. I've articulated my feelings on the others many times in the past.

All have outstayed their welcome. Keeping them around and adding Krile to the mix would only go to show just how disconnected and insular the people in charge of this are from feedback from anyone that isn't a scion supporter.

yeah because clearly you and the others are always in the right and somehow are the majority of the playerbase. How desperate.

I'm getting real sick and tired of this egotistical attitude of yours and I wish there was something that can be done to give you some bit of humility.

Those of us who favor good mmos will move on to Ashes of Creation

That VAPORWARE? Their last Alpha was in 2021 Supposedly their release date is 2023..but as they havent even made it to even the most basic of beta testing....I find that target date highly dubious..this is May 2023...if they havent even gotten past alpha 2 testing, even on an optimistic timeline, its going to be more like 2025..or later.

How the hell can you move on to a game that hasnt even gotten past BETA yet? Not to mention the fact that AoC will be a full loot open pvp gankfest that wont last SIX MONTHS??

The open world PvP flagging system is designed to deter people from griefing other players.

*collapses laughing*

New World tried that..and GOD did they reverse course FAST.

You DO know that full loot open pvp games have a drastically shortened lifespan..dont you??? Look, Ill be kind here and just quietly advise you that the day that Ashes opens, you will see armed gank squads everywhere, killing anyone and anything..open world pvp is an broad invitation to continued griefing..which is why said games have a miniscule population at BEST.

You SERIOUSLY think people will PAY for months on end to be someone elses chew toy? God, you really know how to make me laugh...seriously Aveyond, you can do better than THAT......

As if a lot of people weren't already sick of them.

Other than this tiny echo chamber, no one is saying that. No one.

Those of us who are sick of the Scions. Apologies - I'll edit my post to be clearer when I'm on my PC (why can't I edit on mobile SE?).

That would be...yeah, just you and a few others here.

All done! Sorry again for the confusion - definitely didn't mean to speak for the entire playerbase, and definitely didn't phrase it in a way that actually reflected that.

It's code for "I don't like the characters". If it was an edgy white guy like Clive that dated females that were at least 8s, he'd be fine with it.

I really hate Clive's hair. Idk what it is with Square Enix and ugly male hair.

S'fine, Chia. Thanks for the edits

Strangely, it's the girl in the picture that smacks my sensibilities and preferences into the ditch. It's not like Sephiroth's glorious silver locks. She looks more like my grandmother despite her obvious lack of wrinkles with that dull gray mane. Out of curiosity, what manner of male hair tickles your fancy?

A million times this.
Also, ashes of creation will be toxic as all hells, a perfect fit, can’t wait for them to move on but I know they will come back, some people only live comfortably in misery.

[Rithy255]

I actually kind of agree, I like the scions but EW should be more of a send off to them, I think they've had all the possible "character development" at this point, EW Really showed that.
I want a new cast, I want the game to feel more experimental and fresh in general then "safe", so the story reflecting that would be great

[TaleraRistain]

It's not that people missed it. A lot of people have been weary of the Scions for quite some time, so the moment that it was presented as a possibility that the organisation would be disbanded and the Scions would go their separate ways it caused a sense of relief. It doesn't matter that in the next few sentences it resulted in a 'just kidding' moment - because that doesn't change how a lot of people are still very tired of the characters in question.

All of this has been explained many times across multiple threads already, though. Only for the same posters to come back time and time again with the bad faith insinuation that they weren't paying attention or that the game isn't Game of Thrones (as if that's the only setting in existence to ever kill off a major character)

The person that was quoted by the person I quoted said "We disbanded in 6.0 (Hooray)" so apparently people aren't paying attention.
