I know it’s been said before, but the whole idea that saving Haurchefant would’ve stopped the WoL from saving Ishgard is ridiculous.
The Archbishop was leading his people based on lies and refusing to allow any end to a 1000-year war. He summoned a Primal and permanently brainwashed the men who trusted him. He tortured Aymeric, and surely would’ve had him killed or worse once he got what he wanted to know from him, along with everyone else who knew what he knew (including Haurchefant himself and the WoL.) He planned on becoming a God-King and taking over the entire world, with the Ascian’s aid (the fact that he also betrayed them is irrelevant IMO, he still would’ve used their powers to do horrible things.)
Haurchefant would’ve been the first to tell us to go kick his ass.
Literally the only reason we stop is to mourn Haruchefant so having him live and us stopping is ??? so dumb I hate it hahaha. And relegating Ysayle to like “oh yeah she’s here *points to background* is just a slap in the face. Whatever whatever
