You can have this back when you understand what it means
#ffxiv#for crying out loud people#''filler arc'' does not mean ''story arc with low(er) stakes''#it does not mean ''story arc i personally find boring''#IT DOES NOT MEAN ''DOWNTIME BETWEEN MAJOR PLOT POINTS''#WHICH ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF STORYTELLING YOU ABSOLUTE DINGUSES#BREATHING ROOM IS NEEDED FOR A STORY TO FLOW WELL WITHOUT EXHAUSTING YOUR AUDIENCE#''filler arcs'' are story arcs that have no effect on the overarching plot#they're done to ''fill in'' airtime (often to give source material time to catch up)#they can have nice worldbuilding in them. even character development. so they're not entirely bad#but they don't actually affect the plot and any character development that happens in them is undone by the next official arc#THAT is what a filler arc is#the 6.5 storyline is ***Not A Filler Arc***
