POOR WILRED

There's actual precedent in-game for Nanamo to not be dead and for her to return. For those who don't/haven't visit(ed) the Lore forum please check out my post: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2883003

this is really, really stretching, though.
The laws of dramatic storytelling say that, due to the circumstances of her death (she dies in front of the player with witnesses in a semi-graphic way and leaves a corpse) she is deader than disco and floppy disks.
Her only avenues for return are as a zombie, dream, Ascian impostor, or some form of spirit guide.
Nanamo is as dead as Aerith and Teta, with the same basic results and purpose.

"Laws of dramatic storytelling", pardon my french, ain't shit.

You're not wrong, of course, but it's not worth leaning on "this is how things happen because it always happens that way."

I dunno, never lead me wrong before.
Which bums me out, because it makes enjoying TV, movies, video games, comics, and a lot of books (though not as many as the other mediums) a lot more difficult when you can predict plot developments that happen halfway through the story at around the fifth chapter/episode.
Most of the time it's tropes or cliches, but the adherence to them (or, in a lot of more recent American media, the active need to subvert them to the point of creating new ones) is...taxing.

Hehehehe. Dumbledoresnotdead.com over again. Frankly I'd be disapointed if Teledji is the only one to stay dead.

Aerith, Dumbledore, Puma D. Ace, Mufasa, Robb Stark, Tupac, Elvis and now Nanamo... yeah, history repeats. Denial is strong.

She's not actually dead, servant is actually good and was working with nanamo to expose the corruption in her hierarchy. Ppl all go wtf and raub still has only 1 arm, wears a tacky cloak to hide missing arm and goes like " i am the night.. The dark knight. " lolll
Doe the amount of lalas SE wanted to kill off in that 1 cutscene was a delight to see!

[Fated]

I'm just glad I won't have to listen to her whining in every patch anymore.
