How to Restore Confidence in FFXIV

[Jeeqbit]

I feel continuing with a Scions heavy storyline would just be more of the same thing.

I think so too. They can still be there, retired, but we need a new gang in a new place.

What can the WoL due to top saving the entire Universe?

It's because it's a Final Fantasy game. In Final Fantasy games, you save the world or the universe. This has been what it leads to in any Final Fantasy game I have played. So Yoshi-P feels that he has to match that fantasy and go with whatever will involve saving the world with the most fantasy he can find.

The downside of that is obvious. When they've saved the universe, anything else seems like retirement for the Warrior of Light. Saving a city from a local crime lord and their army? That is actually what the Warrior of Light will do as retirement when they are 80, and they will do it with only one hand blind-folded, just to even the odds.

But it's not as if I haven't started a new story before by playing other games or watching other films, and sometimes the unfamiliar can temporarily be challenging even to the greatest hero until they adapt. So maybe we will find something of lesser threat to be challenging at first, then we'll see how it moves and defeat it. Like everything else. I am certain that will be how they explain it because that is how they explained it in Stormblood. Zenos wouldn't normally be a threat to us, but the resonant was unfamiliar to us so it took us a bit to adapt to it, but then we defeated him like all the rest.
