I AM, DAMMIT.

But maybe, just maybe, if the "promise" we made is something that can actually be made good on in some tangible form, any one of the people I have no choice but to let speak for me might be just a little bit more persuasive the second time. Or at least, not blithely let history repeat itself.

I certainly never intended to say they have to continue it in the MSQ, just that even a perfunctory nod from someone would have been better than what we've gotten so far, which, format be damned, borders on retcon. I think Wedge has done more for Gilly than G'raha, which is more than a little sad.

You misunderstand my point. I'm not saying that FFXIV has to be morally complex, just that its current relative lack thereof persists by feigning ignorance of notable recurring themes from elsewhere in the series. It just means that the holes in the current setup get more obvious the more FF games you play, which leads to expectations both justified and not, and waiting to see if they actually get addressed is like pulling teeth. Mostly FFXIV seems content with just committing to being noncommittal.

Eldibus is hopefully going to start playing more of a role soon, and ideally be given more than just a strawman argument when we inevitably tell him that "no, light is the absolute good for everyone and you're just a meanie jerkface servant of bad, evil darkness." With how things have played out so far, though...

It'd be cool if the Warrior of Darkness had a bonus line (like Yugiri) commenting on your dark side, at least.
