What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[EgilTheStressedMage]

Christ... so this was all about a bad joke.

It's legit impossible to tell anymore.

Thanks for proving you haven't actually been reading most of this thread (And evidently other people as well) because that's the opinion of...basically nobody here.

Two wrongs don't make a right, rather one wrong led to another. I don't think anything soured my opinion of Venat more then them confirming she willfully let Emet-Selch and the others escape despite knowing full well the things they'd do and never actually stating that she was trying to preserve the original timeline, either.

It's funny because they could've opted to absolve her of that by just stating that the unsundered did genuinely manage to escape through their own means but they didn't for...some reason. It makes me even more confused about what they were trying to accomplish because they clearly want us to think Venat is good, but actively wrote things in a way that makes it easy to think otherwise.

Not to mention creating those seven reflections knowing specifically that they would be destroyed by the people she let free. We've established now that people who are 8-9/14ths are more than able to tackle that pesky Dynamis monster just fine, so being 14 times sundered wasn't even necessary. She created those shards purely because she knew they had to die for us to exist in the form she knows us in.

That poster's sole aim is to get a rise out of people here. There is no intention to discuss anything earnestly. They are best dismissed as a troll, as past experience dealing with them has proven.

Yeah I stopped taking the story seriously when I got to The Plenty.

Ancient, infinitely wise and all powerful beings killed themselves because a space bird asked some questions.

Uh huh.

EDIT: No wait, the Ea were arguably worse.

I mean of the Ancients were wise and all powerful why did they fail to account for someone like Hermes or a creature like Meteion. For all their bluster, they were still very mortal and prone to blinding pride.

G'raha Tia eating a hamburger in no way invoked the feel of a "last meal." Anyway, unless the Heavensward team finally finishes off FFXVI I suppose we can anticipate G'raha Tia becoming our Anduin and Y'shtola being the Sylvanas of FFXIV!

There were other people there. And I've played enough games and watched enough shows to know that the happy was going to be paired with the eventual sad, fake or otherwise.

Yes Alisae taking her pickles out of her hamburger also contributed significantly to making the scene a twitter meme. Whatever costly budget was allocated to it should have gone to any number of scenes such as the duel between Hydaelyn and Zodiark that were, for some reason, missing in the expansion where those 2 should have been the main focus.

Another reason to loathe her, I suppose. Pickles are tasty.

On a more serious note, it's all just so far removed from ARR, HW and ShB. I stopped playing Persona 5 part way through because a bunch of bratty teenagers lecturing everyone on complicated moral issues grew tiresome so it's a shame to see FFXIV going down a similar path.
