Arenvald. He was born after his mom was raped by a garlean soldier.

The half Garlean scion is probably the biggest reoccurring character with this as their backstory, though he mentioned it looong before stormblood if you actually stopped to talk to him in the waking sands.

Lol we have rape? Honestly didn't notice with all the murdering and Killing of hunt/Impirial and country men who think differently from me. But anyway I think this game has far more worse stuff then rape to worry about. Didn't you see what *spoil* Namano did to Rebahn? TRIGGER

So we're at two now. OP made it seem like an epidemic like everyone had been raped in Stormblood so I was worried I overlooked a ton of stuff.

There's also the youth in Little Ala Mhigo when you go through there for MSQ early on. Very minor character, not sure she was even named, but the presentation left an impression on me, personally.

Yeah, that's honestly how it feels. I don't remember very many people outside of those two that underwent sexual trauma of any kind. It's mostly just deaths in combat. Nothing against the trauma OP went through, but she's definitely blowing this out of proportion for XIV.

I was wondering this, too. None of these instances are even shown - or any in the game, as far as I can recall?

OP, if you're this severely triggered by the mere allusion to the act, I think you have far greater problems to deal with than the supposed writing problems in a video game. How do you even watch the news?

I'm sorry, but I don't think medieval fantasy is the genre for you.

Neither character's backstory is visually shown with said depiction. They both do make mention of it in the Stormblood story however, with Yotsuyu talking about it along with her sadism in the 4.0 story and Arenvald mentioning it in 4.1.

If we're forced to drop topics because "it might trigger someone" then no one would be allowed to talk about anything ever again. There are people out there who get triggered by bananas.
