If you include the PC in a story scene SOMEONE will be dissatisfied no matter the results. For example, the PC DOES charge in guns blazing to save Rahbaun, damn the politics or personal safety. I would be fine with this because Remedia is all emotion little logic once you strike at those she perceives as friends. But others who either value the Sultana and Rahbaun less or prefer the more calculated type of character would feel they had been cheated out of that choice and would complain the PC was portrayed as a hotheaded idiot.

My argument is not that the PC should have been allowed to kill everything in his/her path and bash a way to victory or that they could have in any case. Rahbaun needing a handicap sticker for his chocobo is proof enough that the situation bodes ill for heroism and reckless violence in this particular case. MY argument is that SE should have acted to maintain the players sense of control over the PC's persona. Remove the PC's ability to act in a meaningful way so we have a reason to play the observer no matter the temperament, as it is I am left with evidence that when it suits them SE will take away control of the simplest aspect of my characters persona when they feel like it which is very bad form in an MMO.
