I still haven't managed to force myself through 7.1.

Got to the scene of Wuk trying to comfort a brain-dead child about coping with sphenes loss..........YOU LITERALLY KILLED HER, WHY DOES NOBODY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PLOT?

Part of the appeal to me has always been that they go into detail showing how the common folk in almost every culture in eorzea react to the events our protagonists cause and those repercussions. This is a key element of FFXIV's storytelling and to deny it seems disrespectful to writers and fans alike.

So we still not acknowledging Wuk is an invading oppressor who has installed a child-puppet to rule? This isn't the reality of course but the idea that an entire culture and civilization just seem to accept this as totally fine breaks my suspension of disbelief (among many other parts of DT), why ever care about the story again when nothing matters? Anything can be explained away with magical sharlyan bullshit. Consequences do not exist. Characters are little mouth puppets that will act however the plot convenience demands.
