I Want it Livestreamed in HD

I lost internet for a few days. But here's what I've been reading on Reddit, the official forums, etc.:

 Spoiler

-The Koreans are SUPER pissed at how rushed the ending was.

-Apparently the new game director wanted to get the Black Mage out of the way and shift focus on Darmoor. (In case you haven't made an Ark and done his tutorial quests, here's a summary: Darmoor and the High Flora are expies for Hitler and Nazi Germany. And no, they are NOT subtle about the Nazi influences. Ark was the Nazi soldier with a conscience and paid for it.)

-Apparently, the Black Mage only has two unique lines for Luminous (You know, Luminous. A person created from a part of the White Mage that broke off when he became the Black Mage.) and Phantom only has a few altered lines in the conversation with Orchid. (Orchid and Lotus killed Aria. Phantom nearly killed Lotus in retaliation.) And those were the only specific examples I saw mentioned.

.....And now Tenebris is being released as permanent content anyway. Complete with the actual endgame boss battle with the Black Mage we were expecting AND a level cap increase just to be strong enough to fight him. Meaning they could have just taken their time to work on the story a bit more instead of rushing it out for some world event. (Maybe even revamp the EXP tables so more people can get to 250 and fight him.) AND the Black Mage would retain his dignity as an endgame boss that takes a while to go down. (Apparently KMS still hasn't beaten True Hilla yet.)

But regardless, the Black Mage is dead and buried. Time for some shirt eating.

As KMS players say, 141.

For those who don't know, 141 is code for 원 사 원 -> 원기 사퇴 기원 -> wishing for Kang Won-ki, the director, to resign.

As others have pointed out, storylines nowadays make it that you're all the same person. this is especially true in Black Heaven, you would be seen as the same person at the end, whether you main Aran, Zero, or an Explorer. There may be a few dialogue differences here and there, but for the most part they make 0 impact on the story.
