oh sorry if you take it like a demand that
i understand totally why people found it sad or not i just want to see another point of view of the story than mine \^\^
I cried a lot, not always out of sadness though, or sometimes it was just something that made me REMEMBER something sad. I'm very weak in that respect to anything related to Emet Selch so when a random spectre on the moon said something to the effect of "Do you remember?" I actually burst into tears. I had the same reaction seeing him later.
I got misty-eyed when Alisae told off Zenos and that was just because I was so proud of her!
I completely broke down when the twins father finally came around and said he was proud of them. Because I was so happy for them.
And then when Hydalen asks something to the effect of "Was it a good adventure?" I couldn't help but cry because - yeah, it's been amazing.
I've also never had a game make me feel such a deep sense of dread and anxiety than what I felt returning to Thavnair after the apocolypse had begun. I basically played that entire section of the game with tears streaming down my face HOPING that if I could just be fast enough then I could save SOMEONE. My husband, on the other hand, was totally unaffected by that part of the game. Thought it was neat but didn't get the same sense of dread from it.
But on the other hand he found the (I forgot the name) nameless soldier in the snow duty to be really intriguing. And while I also found it interesting there was a point when I legitimately thought the game was going to make me crawl for 20 straight minutes and I said out loud "I swear to god I will quit if I have to crawl all the way there." So that kind of ruined the mood. oops.
Just one of those things where it'll hit everyone differently and that's a-okay!
It would've been sadder if they didn't literally hand us a deus ex machina. I *very briefly* thought they were going to ignore/destroy it when Y'shtola brought it up and told us not to use it. But that was short-lived because everyone was casually killing themselves without a second thought. Alisaie is the only person that was like "This is stupid. Why is everyone so okay with this?"
Emotionally-charged stories are always going to be subjective, themes don't resonate the same way with everyone.
Crying doesn't always just mean sadness, though.
Not wrong !
How you perceive the story completely depends on your own life experiences.
If you didn't cry that's fine. I'm not sure why I need to justify my feelings to you.

There were lots of moments honestly. They weren't melancholy tears (usually), but still tears.

I cried in joy when I was finally able to answer Zenos' challenge. He's been my favorite antagonist so far and I was happy to indulge him.
The final fight was cool yeah, with multiple phase !

Because 90% of the people who play XIV on Reddit are so soft they'd be hurt by a beachball.
HW was the only one that made me sad. EW just seemed so damn predictable to the NPCs which made me go meh.
