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

I don't trust them at all anymore. I don't remember another game which cheats death like this. Killed all sense of danger for me. Since Zenos returned i can't take danger seriously.

I am playing 2 rpgs that cheat death like FF and they are not even FF games.

When Zenos returns for the umpteenth time as the main villain for 7.0:



Y'shtola: "Somehow, Zenos returned."

Throw Rofus in there for taking an explosion to the face and walking away like another day in the park.

I won't post it here to avoid spoilers but the Pandaemonium P8 (Savage) exclusive boss design is pretty cool. I would have loved to see something like it in the MSQ's instead of Meteion.

I saw it and freaked out. THAT is the level of Nightmare Fuel I was looking for with the End of Days.

Gave me resident evil vibes..hehe. Seems there is a sizeable difficulty spike between p7s and p8s.

I conducted a double-blind randomized controlled trial and the results were Y'shtola objectively ruins every scene she's in. Just accept that you're wrong.

I used to find Y'shtola tolerable but she's becoming about as much as an insufferable know-it-all as Hermione Granger at this point. It'd be pretty refreshing to see one of her theories be shown to be utterly wrong to humble her a little. I think if the intention is to make a cast of protagonists to be likeable and relatable then ensuring that they stumble and fall from time to time is a necessity. I'm also not sure why Y'shtola was insisting on being the one to share her aether with Zero when she's supposedly weakened already by her inability to see through regular means.

I suppose I just miss the days where the game's worldbuilding and story accounted for such things more prominently.

At any rate, Zero is a refreshing breath of fresh air by virtue of having a more mercenary personality to the other characters. How long that lasts, exactly, remains to be seen - but it showcases how the dynamic of a scene can become a lot more interesting when new faces and personalities are mixed in with the old.

This is straining my credulity too. We keep getting these quests where Scions offer to dump their aether into something, whether it be a voidsent or auracite crystal or whatever. And like, it's pretty much always someone who just finished talking about being near-dead from exhaustion at the end of their rope.

Standing next to a person who's been rejoined more times than any living person, and is canonically the fountain of practical infinity plus one aether. While they just stand there and go "yup. Aether bleeding Y'shtola should be the one to hand over some aether. I'm just gonna stand here like I'm not the far more obvious candidate for it".

I personally would like to have those aether dumps be our wol more often but there is logic to it this way both from a group perspective but also from yshtola's perspective specifically. For a group it's not really the dumbest approach to keep your canonically most powerful member in top condition and yshtola specifically wants to keep the strain on the wol as low as possible after what the wol went through with their own aether on the first.
