heh I had been going through my screencaps recently looking for the old DRG meter and I had taken just, so many ShB screencaps at that time. Got to basically speedrun the story through File Explorer xD

But yeah we've had multiple points where the scions have absolutely screwed up. The one of course that everyone remembers is the Crystal Braves, but also:
- Urianger almost getting us killed by the Warrior of Darkness
- the scions trying and failing to get the ala mhigan resistance to do anything other than be cannon fodder for the first half of StB
- ...most of shadowbringers (yshtola grilling urianger about how absolutely screwed we are behind our backs is very spicy)

It could be argued that in Endwalker, everyone is very busy trying to not die, and yes in real life crisis situations people tend to shut up and work together regardless. I would argue that the way the Garleans were handled probably could've been better on the scions' part - no good plan ends with having your diplomats wearing bomb collars on them.

this is a sidetrack tho. To be honest I actually haven't done most of the "yellow" sidequests yet, which was why I had mentioned on the first page something that had bugged me about other RPGs I had played.
