    One sided (in terms of story telling) Manichaean battles between good and evil are boring in a fantasy game. Over-done and trite.

    Mm. They do have their charm under circumstances but in an MMO format? Not so much. MMO's by their very nature are meant to appeal to a broad range of players - thus it makes sense to avoid focusing too much on flawless protagonists and rotten antagonists. FFXIV has never really presented itself as being a setting where everything is black and white - even the Ascians and Warriors of Darkness ended up having shades of grey to them and the same is being done with Garlemald and the Ala Mhigan Resistance. With that said, however, we do need more blatant examples of those shades of grey to show up in-game rather than being hidden away.
