How is it that Patch 2.4-2.55 delivered the most mature and shocking story of this game so far? It was FF14's Red Wedding.

Then what do we have now? Fanservice catboy eating burger cutscenes. A baby Elezen trying to treat centuries of imperial propaganda by being "nice" and two cutscenes later everyone is happy. The fan favorite catgirl with no character development since ARR going on and on about knowledge and wisdom. Oh and she """dies""" a few times and goes blind but nothing changes. And I guess we have a fedora tipping edgelord in our midst now. Who will, no doubt, open up and start learning about helping others without expecting payback again because everyone simply MUST progress in a wholesome direction.

Is this a game for babies now? No stakes, because god forbid a Scion gets killed ever again. That will hurt the fans' feelings.
