    Which is funny considering the second half of EW before the final fight can be boiled down to your sig, lol.

    You know, I've been saying Lauront was a primal for decades and no one was listening!

    It's ironic how you tend to see far more white knights ragging on people for disliking elements of the story then the opposite.

    Nobody expects what was already written to change, but they can at least retroactively clarify points and add more context/details to make what did happen more satisfying. Yoshi even explicitly stated they would "adjust the narrative based on reception" so I'd like to think that goes both ways.

    The Omega quest actually addressed multiple grievances I've seen echoed, such as the MSQ initially suggesting that the people who succumbed to the transformations during the Final Days were simply weak of will/heart in a very "natural selection" sort of manner, then walked back on it by going into how immensely complicated the heart/emotions are and that even those in nearly identical circumstances had survivors and victims alike for reasons that really cannot be pinned on one specific cause.

    Though the best thing it did was encouraging the player think about then inject their own opinion on who among the three pivotal Ancients they thought were properly justified in their actions.

    It spun nuance into elements that felt very black and white with how they presented in the MSQ.

    That's actually the perfect example because its not even really clarifying anything, but simply repeating a message that was already in the MSQ. Alisaie says this almost verbatim in Ultima Thule

    No one is unbreakable. What pains one may weather may bring another to tears. But therein lies our strength, for when we fall, our brothers and sisters are there to raise us up. Again and again. Without end.
    That isn't to say that the Omega quests haven't given new info, they have. But I think we should be aware that sometimes a criticism is due to missing the context rather than a lack of context.
