I just want to take the time to appreciate how the topic shifted into something related to one of Pokemon's competitors into a topic that necessitate referencing the other as an example :P

On topic regarding Gaius, I feel that might be becuase the dev team wanted to use the ARR storyline to develop their new villians (since 1.0 already fleshed out the Garleans) similar because the focus was on the Dragonsong War the Garleans had been regula(van hydrus :P)ted to a side story an being marooned on Albathea's Spine

I suspect that once 4.0 rolls around and we try to sever the foot they already put on Eorzea's door, that the focus will shift back to Garlemald and restablishing why theya re a credible threat for those who were introduced via 2.0 like myself and Legacy players who felt that the Galeans are relatively the Jessie, James and Meowth compared to the Ascians' Giovanni, or more accurately the Team Rocket to the Ascians' Cipher (and yes, I had to make those comparisons :P)
