Scholar lore

We call her Eos, but as my picture showed, she's really Lily; his "sun."

Fairies keep memories and feelings from user to user, and they can be passed to new users via the Stone. They're the accumulated knowledge and power of the Scholar itself; which is a specialty Arcanist, who specializes in healing rather than attacking.

Whao... that also means fairies are the ultimate gossip queens.

They got dirt on everybody!

Which brings up the question; who the heck did we inherit Selene from then?

[WellGramarye]

Selene is the same thing as Eos. You only have one fairy. Just different aspected aether.

Eos is the sun, as Selene is the moon.

And nationalism was stated even in 1.0 as being an underlying cause of conflict in Eorzea's long and turbulent history, specifically cities guardians from the Twelve, using their respective deity as favouring them - it was stated as such in the original 1.0 manual

One of my biggest fears about the future of ARR is that the Final Fantasy hero storyline we have now could end up turning into a story of going to war, doing seriously reprehensible things in the name of your City State, etc (like the more recent expansions of WoW). I'm hard-wired to resent nationalism in MMOs, having been programmed by witnessing all the atrocities committed by the Alliance and especially the Horde in the last two expansions of WoW. To me, a Lawful Good person with at least some degree of intelligence and common sense would really oppose both of those factions...

[Enkidoh]

I actually doubt that - FFXI had the nations of the Middle Lands who were downright distrustful of each other, had a similar history of antagonism, were more xenophobic and racially homologous than Eorzea's citystates are, and after more than a decade, SE still has never set them against each other as the game's story evolved (in fact they actually became more united).

Eorzea is much more of a cultural melting pot than Vana'diel is, with members of all races coming and going. Sure the citystates might each have their share of social issues, but especially in the ending to the main storyline

Kan-E-Senna makes it quite clear that the Alliance's ties are to be strengthened, and that she predicts in the future the nation lines will actually fade, with all of Eorzea united as one nation

.

Considering also the true antagonist of the game is lurking in the shadows and plays mortal nations against each other, a fact now known to the nations of Eorzea, and due to the aforementioned commitment following Operation Archon, it shows that the three citystates will continue to be allied with each other, despite what past history they may have had - strength in numbers and all that.

[Naria]

Another thing to keep in mind is the player character is ultimately allied with the Sions, not the city states. To cite XI again, although you were a hero in the Middle Lands several times over, the player character also was frequently at odds with governments to varying degrees.

Do you think that the majority of the ancient Nymian scholars were of this personality type?

If yes, then, in my own personal opinion, the contrast between class and minion couldn't be more stark.

Well... my fairies alway do the "point finger at me, then the slit throat hand gesture". Guess I am screwed.
