I can't connect with the Memories of Vanadiel

I have to agree that a weakling bossing us around that's standing 5 feet away from our faces and not getting wrecked is problematic. I yelled at my screen, "just punch his stupid face already!"

When an enemy is overpowering? Sure, listen to what they have to say. When an enemy is a weak dumb-arse? Punch him in the face.

The fact that he survived Zoraal throwing him into a bottomless pit at all made me close my eyes and contemplate closing the game back in 7.1. Why make the framing the hallucinations of a lizard realized through electrope when Shantotto and Iroha have already shown up before?

the writers are creatively bankrupt for one. for another, they also probably tossed the a.raid storyline to some junior writer 'cause side content' and it was the best they could come up with.

That's the part that annoyed the hell out of me. We know that the XI universe is out there and travel between Vana'diel and Eorzea is possible. But they just had to ham fist an easier way to describe things as "OH BRO, THIS ORE IS GOATED."

I didn't even remember who the guy was when he turned up in the Jeuno cut scene, had to google his name
It was so absurd. Zoraal Ja can basically fell a raging bull with one single swoop, but this nameless powerless guy survived getting backstabbed by Zoraal Ja /smh
One of the many narrative low-points in Dawntrail. But as in every sunday morning cartoon show, everybody comes back, all the time, over and over and over. Except the only well written character (Gulool Ja Ja), I'm sure he will stay dead forever.
