    You know, I figured early on that The Immortal Flames was a play on the Persian Empire's elites, but I thought it was kind of funny since Eorzea vs. Garlemald is pretty much a modern retelling of the Greek city-states vs. Persia.

    It's like Ul'dah naming themselves after their inspirational enemy... but hey, history is a nice break from Star Wars when it comes to plot archetypes. Thanks to Harry Potter and FFXII, I'm done with carbon-copies of A New Hope's basic plot points for now. Maybe we can move on to The Empire Strikes Ba-... ohhhhh
