Go on and pretend like this was intended to be a science fiction story with space ships from the start. We all know that's bullshit. Ruin Guards were this mysterious ancient technology powered by magic that blended seamlessly with the fantasy setting just like the guardians from BOTW they were directly inspired by. The Fatui were a cryptic antagonist faction with special weapons designed to harness a fraction of the elemental energy that only few people could wield thanks to special permissions from various gods. We were mysterious travelers from another world that shot across the sky like shooting stars that just so happened to look like your average catalyst users plunge attacks. You're going to sit there and say um actually Sucrose doesn't become a ball of elemental energy using her special wind magic powers no she's really climbing into a physical space ship in a split second to attack that little slime monster and the devs just didn't want to spoil that minor lore breaking detail for 5 years? Because that's how dumb the direction of the game feels since 5.0.
