Ilsabard, Bozja, Dalmasca, Nagxia, Landis, the political turmoil there with resistances fighting over who gets to do the new laws (Bozja)

Like in so many Final Fantasies have the new MSQ focus around a centering love story (Loads of numbered Final Fantasies have these, I can't see why they can't write it for 14)

Yeet the Scions, maybe have one or two with us and have a new cast.


Write something else than a:

- Pseudophilosophical armchair take like "Oh, fear of death" and have all the npc's mold to it and have no other personality or aspirations or life besides bending over backwards to represent your THEMES
- Anime good vs bad story + melodrama, with NAKAMA and PROTECT EVERYONE AROUND ME as the centerfold

I enjoyed the Bozjan storyline, because it had nuance, it had you wonder if all that the empire was doing was bad after all. They built orphanages, educated people, took them off the streets. We could've had factions, more progressive legions, the populares to add nuance. The empire needed to be crushed, sure, but it could've been reformed into a shaky new beginning with the capital still intact and maybe legions fighting against each other in the backround.

But Endwalker farted all over that worldbuilding and went evil evil evil and used the butt samurai equivalent of a story dishrag to wipe it all out in one fell swoop OFFSCREEN so he could act smug on a chair for a full expansion, stalk us in the backround, do NOTHING and appear out of NOWHERE to duel us in the END OF THE UNIVERSE. Don't get me wrong, I love some of Ishikawa's work, but her and her team were vaping something extra when they rushed Endwalker out and were deciding what to do with Zenos.
