Shifting and Concerning Moods Regarding the Writing

[Ranaku]

Y'shtola feels like a self insert character of the story writers, like she merged with Ishikawa when she entered the aetherial sea and now we have this cat demigod that dies every expansion and already knows everything.

And i am mortified to know that she will be right there with us in Dawntrail cause we already saw her in the trailer. So it will be just another expansion of this story that slowly starts to feel rather like a fan-fiction than what it used to be in HW.

It starts to feel like the games story is not our story but Y'shtolas story by now. She is the main character. We hoped for real "Newfound Adventures" but what we got was just the same old scions and the same old story about some zodiark shard and the same old "friendship triumphs" stuff we see since ARR. Which isn't bad but maybe give it a bit more nuance next time...

Edit: People remember HW so fondly cause we had one scion at our side mostly, which was Alphinaud. And we met almost only new faces or some that were teased just a bit in ARR. Iceheart, Estinien, Haurchefant and all the dragons while most of the missing scions weren't even touched until the story around thordan and nidhogg was basically finished.
