Thread: Foresight for 5.5 - Character Death

I can see it happening to Lyse, Hien, or Yugiri. My money is on Yugiri as she may take a "bullet" for Hien out of loyalty. Same goes for the Garlean woman in Ishgard for Aymeric.

Also thought about Sadu and Little sun, though there is one guy who keeps coming back from the brink of death.

Gosetsu.

As if I can recall, he left for a pilgrimage of peace without his blade. A likeable uncle figure, not sure even he is aware that Zenos is alive and killing.

I think that would make SE executives sweat at the thought of how it would affect subscription numbers. Because ''a lot of people mad'' is not good for business. But then, that is why you yourself acknowledge it won't happen.

Careful, don't cut yourself on all that edge.

Eh, it's not a particularly edgy comment. They're just pixels on a screen at the end of the day.

Zenos should kill all the Scions then become our best friend.

He already is our best friend. He can prove it by offing Lyse.

i think most characters are safe now. i dont think there will be many deaths and if there are any deaths then it will be some random side character. the writers tend to lean towards positive emotion when playing ffxiv; they especially want to be uplifting for everyone living through the stress of the pandemic.

the direction they are taking this is a lot like kingdom hearts and world hopping. for the sake of mmo story, they are making our WoL into someone who crosses worlds. when they end this story arc completely, WoL will cross over into a new world shard where we will meet an entirely new cast of characters again and embark on a new storyline. they have been building up the world of ffxiv to explain how the WoL can cross into other worlds, now they have laid out the template for future expansions.
