I'm pretty impressed over the direction Square decided to take with this. I was expecting some vanilla-as-hell ending that ends with us saving Ishgard to the point where they welcome us with open arms within their walls. I was nowhere NEAR expecting any of this. My mind is still struggling to comprehend it. It's amazing and horrifying to me at the same time.

Also, as a Gridanian, I'm disgusted with the direction that Merylwyb and Ken-E-Senna took. Raubahn has his god damned arm sliced off, and all they can do is watch over with horror as Ul'dah is over thrown, their friend mercileslly beaten, and the warrior of light thrown in chains while the scions are placed under arrest? What the hell?

They made a promise to Nanamo that they would ensure for Ul'dah's safety once Nanamo abdicated. And instead, what do they do? They high-tail it out of there. They say nothing, just promptly remove themselves as swiftly as possible. Not even a single declaration is made in their respective city-states that the Warrior of Light is innocent. No, instead they'll let the rumors fester while we clean up the mess.

I don't know who I'm fed up with more now, Ishgard for being a bunch of hypocrites or Gridania and Limsa for being a bunch of cowards.
