Endwalker Main Scenario Commentary & Feedback

[Lord_Umbra]

Okay so I still have one thing I didn't found answer for that I wanted to know..
Azem Spoilers

Why did our Azem defect & why did they refuse to join Venat's group I've been so curious why we did that & unless it's in a side quest I'm bit sad we didn't get an answer.

Zenos/End spoilers

I'm.. disappointed that he was brought back to do nothing & I'm fan of him unlike many haters I didn't mind him being brought back.
Outside of Deus ex saving us then almost killing us after I was let down that it ended no change no grand fight that instance was fun but not what I'd expect.
I was hoping either a Goldbez route of him becomign good or Kefka/Sep/Kuja & go God form for a final boss & at this point I feel like he may be better left dead, every scene was pointless & served little reason for story progression like body snatching he did naught with it at least maim one of our friends.

That was actually my same concern as well

I have a feeling they're going to possibly reveal this with the Twelve storyline for the 24 man raid

Regarding that

This is the end of the MSQ but I doubt sadly it's the end of Zenos actually. I think he's the cartoon villain shaking his fist "NEXT TIME, NEXT TIME"

But I think there's probably more in store for him.

There's still questions I have about him as well. Like since he was able to recall the Final Days....what is he since his recollection of those days was BEFORE he was experimented on.
I think that may be addressed in future patches and I'm actually expecting him to somehow return

Other thoughts on MSQ

Level 87 arc

I wanted to mention how utterly heartbreaking it was in the Thavnir storyline when all hell broke loose. The scene where the young child turns into one of the beasts, and it was so small - only to be stomped on by a larger beast was devastating. The mother trying to protect her child was also another gut wrenching scene, even when with our Fisherman trying to escape with the child

About Hydaelyn

As I stated in another post. I did like that she had reasons for sundering since it made us more capable of fighting Dynamis - but I do have some qualms again

I feel like Venat being a "loner" in the MSQ didn't really help the theme of how we work together. It pretty much came off as she thought of everything "Strong independent woman that don't need anyone in her life" but somehow cares about all? I felt that kind of writing was a bit off putting. The thing that made subsequent expansions better was the coming together of our teams or people around us. So while I love Venat something is left to be desired on some fronts of her Hydaelyn independent decision making. I'm hoping the 24 man addresses this with the Twelve.

It also leaves some questions about why some wore white robes and also why the process of returning to the star is basically voluntary retirement. I get a bit why Venat did not...but what are the consequences if the entire population felt that way?

Also, Hydaelyn sundered for a 2 front - to bind Zodiark but to make us capable of fighting Dynamis - an idea she garnered from seeing our past self interact. That said. I am a little confused as to why besides the cool aspect of fighting Hydaelyn was she the test to be able to know if we're capable of fighting Dynamis - when she herself stated she couldn't really control that aspect as an Aetherial being?

I also like that we have a proper name for our planet/star: Etheirys

I didn't think I'd ever feel bad for robot people being battle junkies but...thanks SE here we are

I want to read the notes on the Final MSQ dungeon... will have to go in with trusts.

Speaking of trusts - will also go into the Elpis dungeon with trusts because I hear that's a real treat as well.

I was a little sad that the Final Days weather condition didn't actually show through all the realms. Coming back to my home I just hear and see the same old - kinda making the Final Dreams feel like a bad beer party I left instead of world impending doom.



Dragons - we still have one last brood member to reveal: Azdaja I'm hoping the reason for lack of reveal also has to do with the kind of pact Hydaelyn made with Midgardsormor

sorry for typos and spelling - I don't have my glasses on and will fix it up later
