Hot take for FFXIV in general: please, for the love of god, stop faking us out with "death scenes." We lost Y'shtola twice, for crying out loud. If she's going to die, let her freaking die. I'm going to be mega pissed if they bring back a certain someone whose name starts with Z and ends with ENOS.
EDIT: There were no stakes for the Scions in EW. I thought EW was the best expansion thus far, but it would've been better had there been stakes. I don't think all of the Scions should have survived.
