Are we really the good guys?

[kyuven]

Besides, if we wanna be true FF heroes, we should be silent, slightly effeminate and moody.

Only if we want to be main male protagonists.
Women should be talkative and troubled by family issues. Also, smiles are mandatory.
...seriously name one female character that doesn't fall into that.

Everyone knows the Garleans are the real good guys.

good guys don't conquer the world

For me, my titles are "the sword of Eorzea" and "the shield of Eorzea"

Game asked me if i want glory or power or riches, not if I want to be a saint. I am also getting paid; npcs treats me as a mercenary most of the time. Game also showed me that other adventurers can take my jerbs. There were npc adventurers that lost out on a job cause i did it first and the dungeon loot were already cleaned out by me. They were dissapointed obviously. So really, you are all competition to me...unless you are helping and passing on loot!

I am, of course, one of the good guys. What could be fairer than a charge of napalm that burns down a kobold or ixali village?

"before the fall"

to -

"Heavensward"

Half Life 3 Confirmed.

but in a srs note, the way the lore is based is that YOU are the ONLY warrior of light.

[Evangela]

plot twist: we're not an adventurer, not warrior of light, but we're a gear collector.

I am a good guy! I rose throw the ranks in the Flame Company to help serve the people of Eorzea. I fought and killed gods, demons and The Generals of Garlean Empire. I was chosen Hydaelynl and forever shall I walk the path of the Warrior of Light!

The last one standing gets to decide on that. Winners write the history books

tbh I hardly meet players that are rude. There are many randoms that are quiet and won't say a word but I won't consider that rude.

in fact playing numerous other online games, this is one of the nicer communities I met, you even have randoms shout for B ranks when they pass them by, how cool is that?

Maybe I am just lucky but this is my experience on this subject. As for game-lore wise, this is an online game, with many people with different tastes in fashion and themes. That's why the selection of armor should be high, to let any player find the pieces he likes. Else that'd turn off more players if there was online one theme for armors.

As for dark knight - we still don't know the story and lore behind it. But most certainly it will be connected to the lore currently in game and it will all make sense to you once its released.
