Job Alignment Chart

[Gamer3427]

Frankly, I am not sure any of the jobs can be considered evil.... there's nothing in the game on the level of the WoW DK quests where you kill children, lol. The game kind of forces you to do good- so everything is kind of Neutral or Good.

Evil isn't necessarily defined by acts of pure destruction towards the innocent. It's more of a "how valuable do they consider life in general" sort of thing. Those who actively seek to kill others, even evil beings, can fall into the category of evil depending on how you define it. Many "lawful good" characters would consider "chaotic good" characters to be "evil" because they were willing to employ violence or break the law to protect others. Really, as with all things in life, defining "good" or "evil" is a matter of perspective. In this list, I'd consider good or evil alignment based on how they compare to each other.....

I disagree. Lawful good will kill evil creatures out of "duty", not valuing their lives- but possibly righteously their souls.

Evil beings kill, destroy and oppress for the satisfaction it brings - or out of service to an evil master. They might kill something they do value in that service. Everyone will kill for various reasons. It's about why they do it... and for that reason, no job in FFXIV demonstrates a delight in suffering/death or servitude to evil master.

Good does NOT value all life. Good will not hesitate to kill evil. Lawful good might even consider it a duty. Alignments value like alignments. Alignments are not about nice/not nice or right/wrong.

(For the comment below) - That is a description of past events- current characters have not demonstrated evil behaviors. There is certainly nothing inherent about the job that makes it evil- such as pledging to evil or performing evil rituals for power. Oh sure, having the power might end up with people becoming evil... or not... but anyone can be corrupted. Look at Mr Thordan...and I don't think I would consider him evil. even.
