I really don't understand why they decided putting Thancred n Minfillia front and center was a good idea.

More of that weird "miscommunication" that seems to be happening a lot. This dev team seems to misunderstand what's being asked of them.

People say "We want to see more of the Scions" and what they mean is in the story.

Yoshida hears that and his response is "OK put them in minor seasonal event artwork, but don't actually put them in the event".

It's not just this. They constantly misunderstand or misinterpret player requests.

It's the FFXIV bait and switch marketing ploy SE has been using for nearly the entire run of this game. Say or draw something that looks much better than we actually got. They do this on big pieces of content like expansions, and even small pieces like holiday events. Like

Become the Warrior of Darkness! which still upsets me to no end that they promised something like this and have it be just a throw away line when it simply oozed with potential twists and turns and surprises in the story.

Or

Could hold that which is dear, without sacrifice? when we don't actually suffer any loss, much less a sacrifice. Unless you want to consider the loss of good writing as the loss we suffered and losing the promised Krile storyline as the sacrifice.

Never believe tag lines or artwork coming from the FFXIV marketing team and Yoshida, you will always be sorely disappointed.

Because they will sell the event poster later.
