I'm actually glad I didn't spend much money on Eldarya A New Era, because what kind of end was that? I'm not sure who is in charge of the story now but it's unbelievable how they kept thinking of ways to make people spend real money on such a shitty game making 0 effort (specifically the second part of the story). I was always trying to be positive about it, giving them the benefit of the doubt, waiting for it to get better and when i thought it was finally happening, they gave it a boring emotionless ending. I play the Nevra route, so you can imagine i've always been lowkey disappointed on how they developed the character and his relationship with Erika compared to other routes (like he was still a f*ckboy but only yours). Still, I was glad they gave Nevra an important role in ANE, highlighting his virtues as a leader and a friend, but something i will never forget is how they were so lazy to never touch the topic of Nevra basically treating Erika like a stranger when she came out of the crystal. Like yeah, I can imagine how traumatic it was for him, how hard it's been for so many years, he lost basically everyone he loved including her, I know he was actually there for her for a while when she was still "asleep" and of course i understand he had to "eat something" else, but none of these are enough reasons to just ignore the whole topic during the story. We could understand his extremely cold first reaction, but they perfectly could have got into that topic later like... he had a strong unique bond with Erika, they went trough hardships together, she sacrificed herself to save his world, he was in pain for a long time and had to continue with his life, but he loved her and missed her deeply. Even if he struggled at first because of how hard that process was in the past and how the news hit him in the present, he's showing feelings for her again (more likely those feelings never actually stopped), he worries about her, he likes her, he loves her, so WHY WOULD HE NEVER TALK ABOUT THEIR EARLY MESSY AND HURTFUL REUNION TO HER??? if he's so scared of letting his feelings flow again because he could lose someone again, why would he avoid to explain his side of the story to the person he trusted so much and didn't even hurt him or abandon him intentionally, so she can understand he's struggling but he is trying because he's actually interested??? and now this lazy ending, after such a traumatic experience (many difficult battles, risking their lives, losing their home and friends) he's just like "ah, i love you, do you want to live together?". If these people like money so much they could have extended the story for all routes and build something called "character development". I still treasure Nevra in my heart, but I feel like they left him incomplete, they made him dirty until the end.
