Thank you to whoever wrote the Pandaemonium story so far [SPOILERS]

[SentioftheHoukai]

While I'm somewhat impressed with what I've seen so far, my confidence in the dev team is yet at an all time low so I'm reserving my expectations. Let us observe what we see from here on out, and go from there shall we?

.....ok who are you and what did you do to aveyond-dreams.

It's almost like you don't really know them. Much wow!

also athena is my wife, give me back my locket, teraq

You first, she's mine all MINE! You cannot have her!

Though I have to admit to being a bit wary about the finale. It's about nine months away but unless it somehow ends with a split timeline where both the Sundered and the Unsundered can be happy then it's going to feel predatory if the player character simply lets Themis, Eric and Lahabrea face the Final Days with no forewarning.

If they can avoid trying to double down on any rhetoric suggesting that the Ancients 'deserved' or 'needed' to be targeted by a genocidal campaign at Venat's behest then that'd be pretty great. I also don't want a situation where Athena, Lahabrea or someone similar learn of what awaits them and try to avert such a cause only for the player character to put an end to yet another route to potential salvation for their race.

Again, let me clear - having Venat deliberately wipe out her own people after making a lot of people come to like them was a major faux pas. Since the Scions and City State leaders are clad in ridiculous amounts of plot armour then even if we never actually hear from them again then shuffling the Ancients off into their own little happy ending would be a great send off. Not whatever Endwalker's base MSQ's was meant to be. The added benefit of course is that it'd allow for a potential expansion in the future where we do a deeper dive of the Unsundered World.

See, the issues I have with this is that it feels its not gonna matter regardless. While I'll be satisfied if they end up wrapping Pandaemonium's story in a satisfactory manner, it won't change the fact it's too little too late and I'll always remain a mite disappointed their fates are relegated to side content but oh well you get what you get.

Not to be too negative, just adding my two sense no matter how unwanted it is. Yeah, I'm like that.
