-.- You really don't get it.

The continuity of the story was broken by the continued survival of a character that had been actively dying for 3 major patches.

Besides, Haurchefant was, and still is, a popular character, should he still be alive? Nobody would ever say yes.


There is nothing that can be done to make it so that G'raha's survival wasn't a complete story break and massive plothole, Crystal tower or no.

The Crystal Exarch is a worthless justification for making every person in this game do one of the worst pieces of content in FFXIV history.

Regardless of what you believe the plan should have been, clearly SE had their own. Maybe it was their original plan to kill him off entirely. Maybe it wasn't, and what we see is what they had planned all along. Considering they have to plan months and months ahead I'd wager it was set in stone from the beginning. With the way they handled some past character "deaths", I wasn't surprised at all with how things went down, but it still hit me right in the feels which doesn't happen often. lol Also relevant is the fact that he DID die. However, he wanted us to take his soul across the rift and put it back in his body on the Source who wasn't dead but still sleeping after locking himself away in the Crystal Tower. Now that the future he was part of didn't come to pass, he had no reason to stay inside...so here we are. If anything I'm impressed with how much they thought it through compared to past...situations.
