Character Death in the MSQ

[Cleretic]

TV Tropes really does ruin your life I guess...

It's not only kinda pointless categorization, it's also, on its face, kinda nonsense. Like, you know who doesn't do the 'Disney death' all that often? Disney. Their core canon is littered with characters that die horribly and stay dead. If anything, I'd call that category 'Soap Opera Death' or 'Super Hero Death' (which are actually the same thing), because they're infamous for it and it's frequently rooted in wanting to give a longstanding, beloved character an emotional sacrifice or loss, but to also keep that character around.

The OP kinda smacks of someone who wants to be able to say something, but for whatever reason feels the need to somehow convey it as Concrete, Citeable Facts instead of something more personal or emotional. Which is a shame, because I'm sure the OP actually does have a point they want to convey, but all I'm getting here is 'FFXIV kills villains, women, and minor characters I don't care about, there are no distinctions or exceptions, source: one example each and trust me there's totally more'.

If someone wants to actually make a point, I'm always happy to listen, but... well, they didn't.
