I enjoyed the presence of the Scions in Shadowbringers, but with Endwalker on top of that plus these latest patches after it was teased we'd be saying goodbye to them (did I imagine that?) I've got heavy character fatigue, as with the majority of our quests feeling like a school trip or that I'm packing an entourage with me wherever I go. I'm more than a little fed up of coming up against a new place or character or what have you and rather being able to acquaint myself with it, I have a Scion loudly shouting down my ear who or what they think it might be.
Yeah, I feel you on that. Honestly, I generally enjoyed the 6.2 MSQ (Y'shtola aside), but one of the letdowns was definitely that, while I don't mind Zero - I don't have a strong opinion of her yet, beyond "we'll see where they go with her" and "I'm happy for the people who like her archetype" - I was super looking forward to Vrtra/Varshahn as a major "new face" in the party and then it felt like he barely got any focus, even though he was our entire reason for being there. You could just wholesale delete Y'shtola from the 6.2 MSQ and I think it'd only improve it, honestly...
