This is why the game lost me to be completely honest. I felt like the type of storytelling changed into more of a Sunday morning cartoon type vibe where the gang always wins and nobody ever dies.

There was a point during the story (probably Post-ARR through the beginning of post-Stormblood patch quests?) where it felt like there were actual stakes and risks of consequences and the lives of beloved characters were actually in danger and I loved that.

But instead more people seemed to come back from the dead than actually die.

Tbh if I could pick it would be either Thancred or Alphinaud (him because it would be a interesting character arc for Alisae)

Thancred dying could be interesting if they want to bring Ryne back. I think Urianger is the obvious choice though, since he finished his arc with Moenbryda's family

!Thancred!< should have stayed dead in Endwalker, I will die on this hill

Your spoiler tag didnt work for me on alexandrite.app, just fyi. But I agree, they completely destroyed any emotional value of that scene and when Uriange joined Yshtola FOR NO FUCKING REASON I was just laughing, completely ruined the emotional scene they were going for.

Same on Connect (Android).

Don’t even have to kill, an injury that stops them from further adventuring would work as well. Could still have them as a consultant or whatever then

we already had that, tho it was a side character. I want blood
