It broke my heart when they took these two (origin) main characters away ..

The weakening of the elementals was our best theory as to why Greenwrath is no longer a widespread threat. It makes sense considering much of the shroud was razed in the Calamity, but their isn't even a hint of flavortext referencing despite many citizen's unease with adventurers.

Yeah we have a few Shroud lore nerds in my current FC and all of them are rather upset with the sunshine and roses turn that the writers did with Gridania. I understand that the 1.0 Shroud was hell from a gameplay standpoint even having never experienced it, but it bothers me immensely that they try so very hard to sweep the nastiness of Gridania and the amoral elementals under the rug in the current content we have available. I'd kill for there to be signs of the Greenwrath returning, just from what my enthusiastic friends have stated about it.

The elementals used all their dang power to protect themselves from Bahamut. Notice how every other zone has gigantic crystallized aether scars? The elementals didn't want that happening.

I think, overall, there's not as much characterization for Limsa or Gridania. Limsa's a barely held-together coalition of pirate lords who keep causing wars with beastmen, and Gridania is a whole civilization at the mercy of a sentient, indifferent forest. I know there was a ton about them in... the before times, but that's all gone now. I hope now that Ala Mhigo is free we start to engage more with those other two.

I just want them to address the issues they have with Duskwight and Miqo'te beyond side quests. It's kind of annoying how that city state is presented as the most pacifistic and idealistic, yet we keep seeing glimpses and rumors about how horribly tribal Miqo'te and Duskwight are treated.

Uh...1.0 Yda is Lyse. We never met the real Yda.
