The Next Expansion cycle needs 2 things. 1) A Break from the Scions and 2)Time Skip

[Wired-Lain]

Every expansion taking place within the same year gets more and more insane. We're long overdue for the passage of time. Would very much be in favor of timey wimey shard shenanigans, leaving characters like the twins behind.

I'm the opposite. The Warrior of Light is the protagonist. The Scions are our party members and friends. We just saw what happens when they get sidelined for an entire expansion and somebody else gets the focus. Hell, we saw what happens when we get sidelined and it's not enjoyable.

I think the frustration there is less of the characters not being around, because they were, but that they just kind of stood around offering nothing and having nothing to do despite being present. I wouldn't call it sidelining if we were physically separated from a couple of them tbh
