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.

As long as it's not one of the twins 😭

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

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
