Endwalker's healer role questline has me in tears

[Atelier-Bagur]

While I enjoyed Shb role quests, I think my issue was more so with the whiplash characterization of some of Ardbert's group compared to how they were initially presented when we clashed with them. Granted Ardbert fell into this trap too but he had the fortune of being one of the major supporting characters in an MSQ expansion thus giving him a lot more screentime to dig into his backstory and character dissecting his behavior. We didnt get that with Lamitt, Branden, Renda-Rae and Nyelbert just echoes of what they supposedly were and to me that was too distracting since in my mind I still saw them as these saturday morning cartoon villians who reveled in their antics when they were in the Source.

Its very shallow but the only reason I still dug them was because of their relationship with Ardbert and all of them being based off the 1.0 default race cgi crew. Not because of their character's specifically.
EW's role quests have the benefit of exploring more on pre-established side characters so I was more interested and immersed in their tales than the generic Warriors of Dankness whom we didnt get to see them all fleshed out like Ardbert.

Interesting. Personally I found Renda-Rae's story the most "standard". That might be just my bias not liking her character due to how much of an asshole she was anyway. I liked hating her more than wanting to sympathize with her.

The Renda-Rae stuff I could take it or leave it, what I enjoyed the most about that quest chain was Lue-Reeq and his dynamic with the WoL as well as his arc. Felt pretty unique.
Maybe I just have a soft spot for catboys.

Oh yeah I think that was probably that story's saving grace, Lue-Reeq's and the WoL's awkward partnership was much more fun and interesting.

The Endwalker Healer quest was by far my favourites, and actually one of the best quests in the game I would say. I will avoid spoilers, but it had some of my favourite characters show up and be given great development, and I just adore a good redemption story.

I'll be honest the tank one had me in tears too, but sadly they were of boredom.
It's funny cause this is the second expansion in a row where tanks get the worst role quests.

Interesting. The EW Tank quest was alright for me (I still think Gridania and their relationship with the Elements is a little messed up, but its nice world building) but for me the Tank Shadowbringer quest was my favorite. Love that little Dwarf haha, and the story really got to me.

I think you might be confusing the tank role quests with the healer ones, as those are the ones with a dwarf in them (who happens to be a tank which is probably the source of your confusion).
Tank was the one with the Paladin sin eater and Hyur quest giver.

Oh yeah! Sorry haha. I think Giott got me muddled up. In that cause, I think I may be with you there. It was alright, some nice worldbuilding but was the weakest of the lot if I had to judge.

All of the role quests were brilliant world building and character arc conclusions.
I also loved the phys ranged one too.

Even the tank one???

I like all the EW role quests but healer was probably a favorite. The tank was the weakest for me, though it does give me a good excuse if I ever want to go burn down the Twelveswood.

I love EW's tank story because of

Kan-e-Senna does Yuna dance

But overall I like all of the role's story

That's one story I'll never see because I just can't bring myself to level a tank. I really hate tanking that much.
