FF is not GoT.

[Aeliott]

Errm. If anything XIV is more like IV in that it seems like a bunch of main characters die, but oh wait they're fine. Both 3.1 and 3.2 had multiple cases of this. And of course "the big one" from 2.55-3.0. Yeah they get injured but...so? :P there are far worse FFs for this kind of thing than this one. The "good guy" deaths we have had thus far in XIV aren't anything remotely GoT-like. They're just evocative of past FFs, the "noble sacrifice" cliche. If it was like Game of Thrones we'd have Lucia suddenly betraying and stabbing Aymeric, Kan-E-Senna gutting Merlwyb at a meeting and sleeping with a bunch of sellswords, Nanamo ordering every bastard baby in Ul'dah slaughtered and torturing people for sport, Raubahn decapitating the player character in a melee, and Alphinaud gelding everyone and fighting off a garrison of soldiers while shirtless.

There are strong parallels between the Dragons/Ishgardians and Wildlings/Night's Watch, with the need to reconcile ages of fighting and death, but that's about it. XIV is far from a bloodbath.
