*SPOILERS* Terrified for the remaining Scions!

(slugging the younger Fortemps son comes to mind)

But if he wasn't there, the WoL would have done it instead. I can't describe my disappoinment when they didn't let my Lalafell do a "shoryuken!" to reach his chin.

Look carefully at the scenes right after she wakes up after being rescued from the Lifestream. Her eyes have already gone gray. Nobody seems to notice until Matoya asks her about it later. (Also, it's Krile who actually uses the Crystal Eye.)

There's no real consequence for it because it's supposed to take time off of her lifespan, but the game's timeline has barely moved since then. Unless a significant time skip happens, it'll never matter.

I know that she was already blind by then. I thought the whole thing with the crystal eye was that it would allow Yshtola to still have aethersight, but would just cause a drain on her health. Must be remembering it wrong though.

Matoya brought up the aethersight in her first appearance, when we were still looking for a way into Azys Lla. The Crystal Eye came up later, while trying to track down the still-missing Thancred and Minfilia in patch 3.1.

[Rinhi]

still, yshtola has been all but completely ignoring the downsides of her aethersight as if the writers completely forgot about it, considering she willingly uses her own aether in various situations where others could've easily done it, i.e. getting the talos to run again when alphinaud, ryne, the wol and alisae are right there or the porxie stuff in limsa and who knows how much she used it in the time on the first

It's been 3-4 years ingame since then, if something is going to happen with it, it's probably going to be in EW.

We watched someone get skewered, turn into a sin eater before our eyes, and then we fought them in the first dungeon. That did pretty well to properly display the severity of the situation and the actual stakes in the story for me.

Yeah, and all that could have been avoided if Alisaie and the WoL didn't just stop and stare when she attacked that sin eater. Which leads us to wonder if the scions enjoy watching innocent civilians die. Maybe the stakes are so low for them that they just want to get the occasional reminder that there actually are stakes. Not for the scions of course, but for someone. Cutscene incompetence is a trope the writers love.

I just want Lyse to die already

It actually hasn’t apparently. The twins were 16 at the start iirc. Ryne still regards them as around her age and she’s 16-17. Iirc there’s only one passage of time comment we’ve gotten and it’s the boat ride to kugane.

That could be because of how they look. We were told in the last patch that Elezen look like teens until they are much older, so Ryne may just be making assumptions. But also when asked the devs have stated to not worry about it. However we know from in game quests and text that its been at least a couple years since ARR.
