Yep, and then evil is thwarted by the good guys, which in many cases, were thieves, ninjas or assassins.You haven't played Final Fantasy very long then.
Final Fantasy isn't about throwing the player itself into the moral gray, it's about questioning predispositions such as corrupt governments, false religions, or imposing outer threats. Rare is the occasion in which the player is put into the position of wrongdoing, and usually it is done from ignorance that the player then attempts to redeem.
PS3 limi-ta...
ESRB limitations.

Privateers is the word you are looking for as far as "legal pirates".
Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.
I don't know... there's prostitutes, slaves, drugs, corruption, death (albeit off-screen or bloodless), defaming of Catholicism (Ishgard, people... it's practically the Vatican)... ESRB limitations went out the window long ago, it's amazing it's still kept it.
Limsa will always be my go-to place simply because it's the only City-State that you can teleport to and have immediete access to the marketboard and your retainer.
Also Pirate > Ninja.
I would kind of love if Gridania was like this. Gridania is very pretty imo, but it seems kind of blah. Even the lore says now people are unsure of Kan-E-Senna being in charge and no longer running the city by listening to the elementals but in the game I saw no conflict within Gridania at all. No crime, nothing. The first I noticed was the Moogle delivery quests when the Ul'Dahn merchant was bribing away the bard troupe. Otherwise it's so happy and peaceful it's boring as a city.I feel the same way about Ul'dah and the Pugilist's Guild. The guild used to be a training center for people working as hired muscle for the Platinum Mirage (the casino/bank right next door). If anyone owed money to the Mirage, they'd send some members of the guild to beat the hell out of them and collect their money. Now what is it? They do nothing but box all day with no point or place in society. Why was everything in Eorzea cleaned up into sunshine and rainbow land for ARR?
Also have to mention Gridania and the Shroud. It's now happy hippy land, but it used to be a dark, scary, unwelcoming place. The Gridanians didn't want outsiders there, and even the forest itself didn't want outsiders there.
