    My main problem with this part is it's so obvious. She's been glued to us the entire time, then suddenly she just go off on her own. Adding the previous scene and I think most people know it gonna go wrong even before she left the group. I don't know why the writers feel like they need to telegraph the story by THIS much.

    My main problem with it isn't even that it was obvious. My main problem is that literally the instant she's gone, characters remember how to be competent again. Koana devises a plan, uses the Scions and us in roles according to our skill set, orchestrates a rescue, and the very second the house cat is free... Everyone becomes dumb again, and lets him escape. We could literally overpower him and his goons with even just one of the Scions. We canonically have that much power each, when we're not being nerfed for the Mary Sue, of course. It doesn't even have to be us. Thancred alone has dealt with far worse in his time on the First.

    Thancred around Heavensward might have already been an issue.

    Around Shadowbringers he definitely solos Bakool Ja Ja and gang.

    I mean, let's not forget that when Depression Bird knocked us unconscious, he was literally the only one of us to actually resist long enough to sacrifice himself so we could live. Let me repeat that. Thancred stood up to something that knocked us, the overpowered Warriors of Light, on our asses, and still had enough strength to do what needed to be done.

    You're not gonna tell me that all of those dudes together add up to even half a Depression Bird. No way in hell.

    To be fair, as I recall that was specifically her getting rid of the air. We have a blessing to be able to magically breathe underwater like a fish, while Thancred has been noted, back in Stormblood I think it was, to just have an exceptional ability at going without air for longer than normal. Not that I disagree that he's exceptionally strong in general, and could likely take those guys in a fight, but that one situation was one where he has already been established to blatantly outclass us.

    It was Stormblood and he specifically mentions before going into one of the Loch's that he can hold his breath for at least 10 minutes and even then swimming underwater in that quest (the swimming under water in the Lochs to go i think into Ala Mhigo itself iirc if not somewhat like that) tested even his limit. ^_^

    Not to mention that Meteion/Endsinger as a foe kinda becomes weaponless when you know about her means of attack.
