[Spoilers] Who do you guys think is gonna meet the Twelve during Endwalker?

I predict another series of fake out deaths that’ll be inevitably reversed.

But if someone were to die permanently? Yshlotta, preferably. But I suppose it’s because I’ve never once enjoyed her character.

They'll introduce someone to die in the expansion or it'll be someone that hasn't been relevant since Stormblood.

They'll introduce someone to die in the expansion or it'll be someone that hasn't been relevant since Stormblood.

Maybe they'll actually kill off Gosestu this time. Except in the next patch he survived the spaceship crashing on top of him

[Theodric]

Characters of a story don't need to die to make it a good story.

If the intention is to showcase a dangerous apocalypse, then I think that they do.

It's a matter of balance. Too much death makes for a dull story, yet the opposite side of the coin is too little death. I think when even minor characters are encased in thick plot armour then there's a high risk that the story becomes a melodramatic parody of itself. Especially if there's multiple fake deaths for the same handful of characters.

Of the Scions, Thancred, Urianger and Krile strike me as the most likely to perish. Of the antagonists, Venat, Zenos and Fandaniel are likely gone one way or another.

Realistically probably Thancred atleast

Personally I'm hoping Y'shtola because of how absurd her plot armor has been and how generally overrated she is

[Averax]

TBH it feels like Thancred has had his story arc and has closure. This is the logical point at which he would die.

Not that i want him to

Though part of me feels they may be reluctant to kill another long standing character. They generally are in this game. They may introduce a new scion simply to kill them. IE: Another Moenbryda

[Lauront]

I think they have a large enough cast now to start paring it down. In some cases, that may involve death. Perfectly fitting for the repeat of the Final Days.

[TheMightyMollusk]

I don't know that someone has to die. I just hope that if someone does, it's meaningful, not just thrown in for shock value. Nobody really cared when Conrad or Meffrid died, because we didn't really get to know them enough to have any impact. Or Tesleen; her death was horrific, yes, but we don't really get enough time to get to know her first, so the only real impact it has is on Allisae. Compare to Ysayle or Papalymo, who we had time to actually get to know and get invested in.

I'll make an exception for Zenos, though. If someone just kinda pushed him off a cliff and he died forever, I'd shed no tears.

[KizuyaKatogami]

I hope Yshtola and Graha die honestly. The amount of plot armor both have is absolutely insane. If a story needs to create plot holes to keep characters alive that’s just bad writing. In the case of Endwalker, it’s an apocalypse, which originally almost destroyed the entire planet. If there’s no stakes in the story and everyone gets out just fine then what is even the point. It’s unrealistic. Just like in ShB there really should have been deaths with how many times they kept bringing up potential consequences or how things could go wrong but then just never followed up on that and it makes me wonder if the community has a hand in that because of them not being able to get over a characters death(people still raving over elf man to this day)

[SamsaraTrickstar]

No one. As no one did this time as well. They got to lame and can't kill then they need to. They way way way to much characters in the msq and I like to see most get killed.
