And still in same, these were my collected thoughts regarding Yoshida's words and overall for the then upcoming expansion:

If not mistaken, some even threatened to sue Square for "false advertising", lol - and this is real, can look for it in this very same forums.

In the end, the writing is pretty idealistic. Our character will always be the goody two shoes, who will be smiling and saving cats in trees: we will always be the Superman, Steve Rogers, Aragorn (whose may not be the coolest, but need to be there for the final strike, for the "good", "heroic" message) and never the Batman, Big Boss or a Geralt (operating more on the gray area if convenient) - I really doubt, after all these years, and in the final chapter of this season, that it'll change.

Especially, since it ends in the expansion itself.

I expect even more on the typical idealism again. This imagery of the Paladin - bar all the Cecil parallels - displays exactly the imagery of the noble good knight clad in shiny armor to save the day - our typical heroic fairytale.
And now in hindsight and having indeed finished the tale, it's crazy because that's exactly what I would post now, in the end, again. Over another conditions I'd totally forget about something I casually wrote months ago, but in this case was reminded immediatelly after finishing. It was truly what they said we were getting.

Personally,it was a 10 out of 10 patch for me - but from the beginning was already expecting this story. Like also said, can completely understand why it's not gonna be cool cake for everyone.
