For instance, as I said before, my most favorite Final Fantasy character is Sephiroth. Hell, he's my most favorite video game character. Psh, I'm gonna go ahead and be truthful... he's my most favorite fictional character EVER. In fact, he was my first love in high school, and he isn't even friggin real. Yes, I had it that bad. So, how would I feel if Sephiroth made an appearance in FFXIV:ARR?

Absolutely mortified.

No matter how well they do the lore, no matter how well they write a character in, no matter how cool they make them appear, it will still smell like cheap fan service. Besides, if I really want to see Sephiroth again, I know I can just go play FFVII or go watch Advent Children. Now, perhaps they will do good writing Snow and Lightning into the story. Maybe they will get some cool lore or whatever. But the thing is, we all know where they came from. And given the fact that Lightning returns is just around the corner, this will still reek of marketing ploy, no matter how well they gussy up the story. Then again, that's just mho.
o_o; I'll erm..just steal Thancred while you're busy gawking at Sephiroth >_> (for the record, I had a crush on him in HS too LOL)
