FF14 infamously kills, kidnaps, and makes characters disappear only to have them reappear, be saved by the player/user, or have the situation resolved later. This is more apparent earlier in the game, later becoming less satisfying and more of a trope.
[EXTREME SPOILER] The killing and subsequent slow and dramatic discovery of an alive Gosetsu in Stormblood takes a tense and depressing moment of the story and suddenly turns it into a comedic element for the rest of this chapter of the game.
