At no point have I suggested that Garlemald is perfect, fully justified or without a need for at least some reform. I - and certain other posters - have merely stepped in to ensure that these debates do not become a circle jerk that involve bashing Garlemald at every possible turn and bending over backwards to excuse the darker elements of both the Warrior of Light and the rest of the protagonists where applicable.

I've also repeatedly expressed a willingness to agree to disagree - so please stop trying to paint me as unreasonable. Thankfully I've identified the issue as specific to this particular sub-forum - because I have no problem engaging in thorough debates regarding the game's lore on the FF14 sub-reddit, the official site's general discussion board, the FF14 gamefaq's board and - surprisingly - even Youtube comment sections. More often than not, many debates here are doomed to fail simply because it's the same handful of posters discussing points they've brought up countless times already.

So either we agree to disagree or we continue in an endless cycle that is quite clearly ticking a lot of people off and pushing them away.
