[SPOILER ALERT] but I really want people's honest opinions on this.

What was your opinion on the Myths of the Realm story?

Now hear me out, this may be a hot take and up until now I haven't really had barley any real problems with FFXIV's story, but I felt like they kinda forgot all about the twelve and it was the last thing left to knock out from 1.0 so they just shoehorned a VERY small story into a raid series. I really felt like it was a bummer considering the Twelve have been a huge point since the beginning.

At the very least I would have liked better dialog if we weren't getting VA and more CS budgets. Things that were pretty important like the whole Bahamut Calamity situation were literally written off with the Deryk saying "we were busy with our duties" but we know that's not true because the scions were literally praying to the twelve for power so Louisoix could make like a spirit bomb cage to reseal bahamut.

And what were their opinions on the Ascians!? What was their relationship like? Did they even ever cross paths before? Why didn't they try to stop them themselves?

What about the battle over silvertear falls? I could be remembering this wrong but wasn't it said that Hydaelyn's heart was in silvertear? Were they referencing the twelve? And if so what did they feel about that?

They could have told us and elaborated on so much more but man this felt like a really rushed conclusion to a plot point that has been building up for damn near 13 years.
