This video was released in 2015, two years after the launch of A Realm Reborn (and probably after Heavensward, though i can't be certain. Perhaps right before as well.) However, there is a gripe or two i have with the video, and one (i believe, at least) very legitimate plothole.

To go over my main gripe; this explanation (with Louisoix's sacrifice) felt very... how do i put it? Over-the-top, for lack of a better way to describe it. I feel like it didn't fit the tone of the game at all, and this is... PROBABLY due to being created after the original director, writers, so on so forth, were no longer working on the game.

But that's not to mention that this didn't have to be tampered with at all in the first place. It's stated that every Astral era (I believe the "golden" ages are the astral eras, correct me if i'm wrong) is ended with a cataclysm of sorts; this "end of the world" scenario is nothing new, so why did the world's survival have to be explained? It could have been written off as the world surviving like it always did. You could say that every cataclysm is prevented from destroying the world entirely, or that cataclysms aren't necessarily always of this nature, but we're given no indication for that! Many may assume, upon finding this knowledge, that this isn't a new thing!

Anyway, that's my rant just about over. Just something i noticed when watching Flames of Truth while looking at 1.0 gameplay and i thought i'd share it. I like ranting. But what do you all think about Flames of Truth?
