Feedback: Feeling disappointed by 6.55's narrative, and thus unsure about Dawntrail

Let me reverse this for you to see if you understand the point.

2.X the WoL destroys a major milestone in the Ascians saving their civilization and restoring their society
3.X the WoL beheads the leadership of Ishgard because they wanted to go to war with the dragons, we decided we knew better and that the pope was no longer fit to lead.
4.X the WoL overturns the expansion of Garlemald to restore the independence of nations who probably at one point, conquered those lands from others as well. Does not touch the Azim steppe society even though its a warmongering society that decides leadership by brutality because they shared a common enemy, Garlemald.
5.X the WoL destroys any hope of the Ascians ever restoring the planet to the way it used to be before a rogue faction led by Hydaelyn decided to send everyone to oblivion because they didn't agree with Zodiark
6.X WoD does prevent an apocalypse by a depressive bird

We literally solved everything with violence, and good here is subjective.

The Ascians' goal was literally to wipe out all life on the Source and every shard so they could bring back a "paradise" they screwed up and didn't deserve to have anymore. You can not seriously claim they were in the right in any of this story. We can question the morality of what Venat did with the Sundering, but what Emet-Selch and the others wanted wasn't any better. He doesn't even think any other living beings deserve to exist, because they're not perfect and there is nothing wrong with murdering them.

The Archbishop and the 4 houses spent centuries peddling a lie about the founding of Ishgard that guaranteed an aristocracy while the rest of the people suffered and lived in poverty. They declared war against the Dragons ages ago by murdering Ratotaskr, and now they're facing the consequences. Getting rid of the Archbishop and his evil knights was the correct action.

Garlemald and the Emperor were clearly evil and they were part of the Ascians plan to destroy the Source and its reflections. Again, stopping Garlemald was correct.


Why should the Ascians get to restore the planet they ruined, at the expense of everyone who currently exists? The Ascians had their chance, and they failed. So you think it's ok that they want to murder millions of people on the Source and all reflections?


Sorry, but your entire argument here is "It's totally cool if the Ascians want to go full mass-murder to bring back the good 'ol days because they don't think anyone in existence today deserves to live." That's not a good thing and I'm glad we were able to stop them.
