The Worst Part of Endwalker

[LaylaTsarra]

No the worst part about Endwalker is threads like this and the crew that thinks their view of the xpac represents what everyone thinks. Sorry to break it to you but many of enjoyed the story and think it's at least on a par with Shadowbringers.

If we need anything if for mods to consolidate these threads into one.

I agree, actually. Whilst I see the points of those who disliked Endwalker, the most disappointing aspect of this for me personally is that there is almost no 'positive' discussion about it anywhere here.

There are what? Two? Three? Long running threads with replies numbering in the hundreds but I've seen nowhere to discuss any positives.

There may be a reason for that. Several, in fact, with the ones spelled out over the course of this thread so far being among them.

Yes, that's been made very clear over hundreds of posts in several threads.

That doesn't change the fact there were, for some of us at least, moments that were enjoyable.

People generally don't comment on something when they're satisfied with a product. Game development and just technical fields are very thankless in this regard. I like many others love Endwalker, honestly. We just don't feel obligated to make threads on it.

...Until someone complains about the product, at which point the people who are "satisfied" crawl out of the woodworks to hijack a thread for arguing. Happens every time.

Sorry, I thought that was called having a debate, must be mistaken for something else.

The worst part of the story to me was the bizarre insistence that genocide is acceptable and necessary so long as it benefits the protagonists directly.

Exactly this. The way the stuff on the moon was handled (including Zodiark), the post-Elpis pity-me cutscene that failed to properly depict the Sundering (instead left to some Nier crossover), the extremely caricatured alien words, bizarre messaging and the apologetics for her that had characters bending over backwards and leaking out their brains to justify what she did that then necessitated a Q&A for clarification and remedial quest via Omega? Plus the exceedingly lame end boss? I could do without all that.

No worries bro. There's a giant thread about this very topic. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...y-in-Endwalker

You should brace yourself if you're gonna go there though.

Thanks for advertising - and I am sure the OP will feel quite welcome.

Literally nobody implied here or ever that their opinion is the one of the majority, yet every single one of those thread have people like you who comes screaming inane stuff like "know that you're the minority, MINORITY. YOUR OPINION DON'T MATTER REEEEE". It's tiring and it's something this community really likes to do. Hrothgar players are all very used to that kind of defense whenever they voice their complaints.
We're not the majority. We know. Still our opinion, like anyone else's, has value and deserve to be told. If you don't like it having opinion different than yours being broadcasted, just go to Twitter or Reddit. I'm sure you'll find a safe place for you somewhere.
Why do you even care btw? People not liking the story doesn't invalidate your opinion on it (and the reverse is true). It's a very insecure way of thinking.
