Last Zone (SPOILER)

[Feronar]

My main problem with that zone was there was too much yellow. The yellow tint really got grating after a while, and it was a relief when it reverted to regular weather at the end. If there were some sort of restoration, I would want it to keep the normal weather and not turn yellow again.

If you activate NG+(any), it returns the zone back to the way it was. You can then deactivate it whenever to return it back to normal

Just quoting it for visibility. Don't know if people just overlooked the post. This is a very easy way to turn it back to its original state. Some people discussed that the NG+ of Dawntrail isn't out yet, but it doesn't have to be Dawntrail NG+, just activating any old NG+ state returns the map to its original state. Only thing is you can't activate NG+ while on the map, cause its so heavily affected by quest state. So head to a starting town -> activate any NG+ -> go back. And the map is its initial state.

Edit: Oddly enough, you can turn off NG+ while on the map and it instantly converts from original to current state. Wonder why activating NG+ on the map isn't possible then.

Last zone is what Meteion would've seen on her journey through the cosmos, eventually struck with grief and despair and allowed her song to kill whatever's alive and remaining somewhere. Sphene's obsession to keep her people alive in one way or another is no different from Meteion. There's a reason the last zone is called "living memory" because it's just that, a memory, people living as their best memories in their lifetime. Sphene couldn't let it go, and we went there to turn off the lights out to allow these people to rest in aetherial sea.

Acceptance is also a lesson.

Yes. One they've been hitting us over the head with for three expansions now. Honestly, I think they need to take their own advice about letting go and stop rehashing old plotlines and themes.

It felt rough for me when you got the notice of "make sure you've fully explored and taken in the zone before proceeding" but you couldn't fly around the zone to get a good look at things till after you've turned all the zones off.

If only they didn't kill of the political drama at the end of ShB and early EW.

Since the whole place was virtual, there should have been nothing left after the servers shut down. No structures, just a blank void.

Who said the place was virtual? It's an existing place built from electrope in a ruined reflection. Only the outer layer was an illusion generated by electrope to make it look the way it did. Though there are some questionable things - like the people made from memory having any physicality at all (I kinda thought we'd see machine bodies as base of the memory-people like with the queen previously, but they just fully dissolve) and the food being physically edible at all for living people (though with no taste). Not quite sure how that works out, unless it's aether-manifestations similar to the scion's 'spirit bodies' in the first.

I really liked what they did to the last zone.
My guess for future MSQ story is that we go back there and start to rebuild/ repopulate the shard of alexandria.

Because, the sky is blue and plants are still alive, so it is not a "dead" void like on the first or the 13th shard.

Honestly the "Acceptance is also a lesson." reply is also just kind of arrogant and short sighted to me, if not belittling of other's feedback. This could be the response to every post on this forum and SE would never get any feedback. Blind "Acceptance" is not a good lesson - undermines the Scions and the store of FF, and reeks of settling with no motivation to enact change for the better.

Just take the feedback that we liked the area and don't wanna see it die for story reasons. xD
