I liked it. Seeing Alexandria cope with death for the first time is excellent. When Wuk Lamat tried to comfort the sad child I just knew some people were going to be screaming and crying about her existing, but I thought it was perfect: She saw someone upset, tried to help them, but didn't actually know how so may have actually made things worse. She's not the Perfect Mary Sue people say she is, she's just a regular person trying her best.

Even as a Lamaty'i fan, I was glad to have some time away from her to hang out with Koana. Base MSQ shoved her in people's faces so much, it's no wonder some people came away hating her.

I thought the resolution of Koana's tragic past was cheesy, but it's a Final Fantasy game so I wasn't really expecting anything more. Sometimes I wish this game was sprite-based like the SNES Final Fantasies; then people might be more forgiving of silly plots like this. Also, jumping in-between a giant monster and a little baby rroneek? LOVE that for him.

One more MSQ thought, on a topic I've seen a lot of people confused by:

A lot of people are going "Why would Koana risk his life for a cow???" They're missing the whole point of the Mehwahhetsoan storyline. The Hhetsarro see the rroneek as more than beasts; they see them as family. This was explicitly said prior to the solo duty. When Koana jumped in to protect the rroneek calf, from a Hhetsarro viewpoint it was the same as if he had jumped in to protect a little Miqo'te child. The whole scene very effectively shows that he accepts and embraces the views of the people he serves as Dawnservant.
