So, a few times these past couple of weeks, forum posters and youtubers and other people on other socials have asked or put out polls and things wondering, "Who do you think will be the next scion to die?" or "Which Scions would you like to see killed?" and other such similar things.

It seems, almost every time I say Y'shtola, somebody jumps out of the woodwork saying, "She's the face of FFXIV! She's like Cloud for FF7. They can't kill her off, or they will lose money. She is invulnerable/untouchable/can't be messed with."

So, what do you think, reader?

Personally, I think they've been building up to killing her off as a very emotional moment for FFXIV people, and the build up has been taking so long that by the time we get to the moment in the story where they finally decide to stop writing her out of death we'll basically be like, "Get on with it!"
