Summary

Final Fantasy 14s story is a long one.

But we shouldnt have taken them with us to Dawntrail.

This isnt to say they should disappear forever.

Estinien is the Scion who got the best deal.

Rather, its the side quest you do after the main story is completed because it takes too long.

The Spider-Man: No Way Home after Endgame, if you will.

Having the Scions who saved existence around for these story beats makes them seem incompetent in retrospect.

The narrative would have far more weight if we were going it alone.

Let Final Fantasy 14 breathe, unburdened by the legacy of the Seventh Dawn.
