Can 7.0 focus on a storyline without the philosophizing

[IkaraGreydancer]

I think the only thing I really dislike is that the power of friendship is starting to overstay it's welcomed. Especially with how big the friendship pool is expanding, and the amount of networking it contains within. The hero(s) can basically reach out to literally anyone anywhere because of that network strength. Irl, politicians don't even get along with each other like this. I'm also tired of the scions being a massive group of know-it-all bookworms that can single handily solve every wonder of the universe by themselves.

PoF is a FF mainstay. Ive gotten use to that. And it took how long for the Scions to build those connections? It's taken them leagues of work to get to the point where their reach is so expansive so imo its fair n justified. Irl politicians don't get along like this, yeah I don't think irl politicians have to worry about an end of days or full blown wars using Eikons n such either.

Yes many of the Scions are smart people. None of them are dumb ofc but I wouldn't call the WoL, Alisaie, Estinien or Thancred book worms. It's also just plain wrong to say they "single handed solve every wonder of the universe by themselves". When I see a statement like that it just comes off as hate to me. The biggest info dump about the universe as we know came from Elidibus sending us to Elpis and us spending loads of time there learning from the Ancients. That alone disproves your "single handed" comment. It took them a very long amount of time to solve tempering, in fact most of the story, ALSO with help from many many others. They still have not figured out a way to travel to the First yet and are slowly piecing together a possible solution again...with the help of others...
I could go on and on.
