Can 7.0 focus on a storyline without the philosophizing

Striker: this is the guy that throws epithets like "white knight" shill" "paid shill " "unpaid SE intern" then we have "cease and desist"..so quite frankly, going back over his post history, one intent seems plain and specific: to shut anyone down who dares disagree with him. Were you to be talking to him one on one, he's the kind that will continually talk over the top of you, try to scream you down..you will also notice that in his concerted efforts to do what he projects others are doing, he does all he can to discredit or otherwsise invalidate arguments..in short his post history is a long list of "attack the messenger not the message"

Its the current trend in public discourse, hadnt you noticed? Silence anyone who dares argue with the hivemind?

He'd call me a liar for saying that I watched Man walk on the Moon . Live. The day it happened.

Theres another word for it..but I wont use that here. Not yet..anyway

You agreed "10000%" with an exaggerated caricature of a white knight (quoted and linked below) that was literally designed to be unreasonable and insane, and then you proceeded to double down when I told you what that meant. You have been mad for how many months now over the fact that you unironically agreed with a white knight stereotype and thus were called one when you refused to admit that maybe that wasn't something you should be agreeing with. I'll give you the same chance I give you every time you bring this up. Admit you were wrong or that perhaps your mindset has changed since then. The caricature is completely unreasonable, so it should be a simple task.

They don’t owe us ANYTHING. The sub for this game is cheaper than Netflix. Yoshida pours his blood, sweat and tears into this game and we pay pennies in exchange. I think we should be grateful that we’re getting anything at all. This isn’t Blizzard that we’re talking about here, this is Square Enix. They’re doing what they can with the small amount of resources that they have

This is literally you.

So if I'm reading this right, you're upset that after you made several illogical arguments and outright lies, I provided objective evidence that you did. What I'm doing is pointing out that your logic is both quite flawed and at times rooted in falsehoods. I'm not even twisting your words or intentionally taking them wildly out of context as someone like Ikara would. The quotes I've provided are things you've actually said, in the original context. If I was manipulating facts, why would I be comfortable linking the lackluster thread as evidence for everyone to see? I am providing quotes in what is literally the most honest way possible, so if the facts are consistently agreeing with me, then perhaps there's a problem.

No I wouldn't, because I know you're of a more elderly age from what you've posted here in the past. You watching the moon landing live is 100% believable considering your age, but I don't see how that's relevant to literally anything.

If you've got something to say, let's hear it.

Nevertheless, if it's just the Scions all over again it'll make 7.0 probably the dullest story yet in terms of character development.

My expectations for 7.0 are pretty low regardless of whether the Scions will be taking part. 6.0 destroyed my faith in the writers, and 6.x destroyed my hope that it was a one-time occurrence.
