Too bad the end of Arcadion isn't getting the best of feedbacks. :/
    And I'm not really sure why about the Arcadion - personally, I loved the ending. I think either the very obvious professional wrestling analogy just went over some people's heads, or some just simply aren't satisfied if the "villains" actually have some redeeming qualities. Overall, 7.4 was a huge hit for me.

    Every complaint I've seen has amounted to not "getting" the wrestling story angle, but to be fair, if it's not great on it's own, that's an issue. Still the best series just for those amazing fights and how much character we had.

    folks have said it was rushed. i thought it was pretty good. would i have preferred to fight zombie bomber? absolutely. am i glad hes alive? also absolutely. but technically he was a main char within the raid story and ffxiv have shown once again they don't want to kill off a main char. i'm happy with that but apparently folks like angst with their cornflakes.
    looking back however we did get all of the info in one go. even in wrestling they don't do that. from what i recall (and i did used to watch wrestlemania in its day) we get a nice build up. is there or isn't there a villain. such as when the undertaker became "good" his manager Paul was shown to be acting oddly weird and the undertaker suspicious. in this story it was 100% villain until the last 5mins.
