Revolutions Hype Thread

It's confirmed in the lore book - and it's not as if they had the Warrior of Light to fall back on to solve all their problems, thus they had to resort to increasing desperate measures for the sake of their continued survival after being forced to carve out a living in a wasteland. Should they have rolled over and allowed themselves to be wiped out instead? Push people far enough and they start pushing back. Much like the Roman Empire, there's a lot of bad, yes, but they're hardly irredeemable and one only has to look at how many 'good' countries in the real world get involved in conflicts that they shouldn't but still have their own redeeming qualities.

We've already seen redeeming elements in regards to Regula and - to a lesser extent - Gaius. The latter more so in 1.0 than 2.0. Zenos is likely to be a straight up villain, though from what little we've seen of him so far it's clear he doesn't care all that much about his own allies which is likely to be his downfall, I believe.

As an aside, I wonder if the Doman Viceroy and Hien used to be lovers? Or if they're directly related - as siblings, perhaps. I could have sworn it said 'a family torn' as it panned to the Viceroy...but that may just be me.

As per usual, the trailer may be strategically cut in places to make us believe one thing is happening whilst something else is actually the case. It'll be very interesting to see how it all plays out...and as a fan of FFXII, I'm eager to see which elements of that game they bring into 4.0. FFIX, too, will get a lot of love and in-game references I hope!
