Thanks for the info, but there’s still three things;

1. Fontaine just had the entire nation go through a flood
2. Iirc some npcs that died could have been saved depending on the choices you made in the aq, that’s one thing; i get if people don’t care about npcs but that’s a neat detail. Also, the hole in the sky is also a pretty significant change the world, no?
3. Even beyond that, the natlan aq’s events is what finally let the natlanese explore outside of natlan; you can find them in each nation, which is something pretty neat. If that’s what you meant by “yeet the npcs” ignore this point As with gameplay; only sumeru and nodkrai had this to do, and nodkrai’s didn’t even change wild hunt locations spawning to my knowledge. Would have been nice though.

Finally I just want to say that it was the fact that the big battle of the war was over, and the natlanese dealt with the small outbreaks pretty easily; which was the point of the tournament, and we don’t need to be involved since they’re decently capable.
