    I've always had this problem with the game since I defeated Ifrit (arguably Titan) in that the WoL is very 2 dimensional and that every problem seems to be solved by throwing the WoL at it until it dies. Although...

    *spoilers for DRK storyline*
    I loved the DRK story for actually challenging this trend and giving some morality to the players actions.


    I do think that the scions care about the WoL as they haven't shown any evidence that they don't, but the player character really has no identity for them to even properly interact with these characters, which makes character building difficult.

    As for Hydealyn, we are her champion, which naturally means that our purpose is to fight for her, though I think the relationship is a little bit like a mother and a child with the added bonus of destiny, rather than the WoL being treated like a weapon.

    I've discussed my feelings on the Scions in another topic, but Hydaelyn is interesting here.

    I actually question if, sometimes, She recognizes you as a specific individual at all, or if you simply had the traits that served Her purposes.

    You house a part of Hydaelyn's flesh, in a sense, with your formed crystals, and you serve Her will but - what exactly does that make you to Her? If you are a child, you are a favored child. But why were you favored in the first place, especially if you're a brand new character in 2.0?

    I believe the answers are relevant to the deeper lore that we haven't quite delved into yet and, because of that, I don't think we can know the exact answer.
