[SPOILERS] Heavensward vs Stormblood MSQ Story

[Omury]

To be fair to the Scions, before we showed up, whenever a primal showed up, people would die because they were tempered. And other members of the Grand Companies fought and killed comrades. Then we come along and, miracle of miracles, we come along and drop primal deaths to almost nothing. Why wouldn't your plan for any primal after Ifrit be anything other than have the Warrior of Light fight it. It keeps the fighting force of the city-states intact, whenever we enter the battle field morale goes up, and normal people don't live in fear of being tempered by the primals. It's a tactical decision that, while stupid with us contending with primals of unknown strength, has merit.

As for the lying part, I'm guessing you're talking about the whole Lyse is Yda thing. Question, what did it change? Lyse wasn't ready to be herself yet. She had to be Yda because she didn't know what she was supposed to do when her sister died and she has, what she believes is, no talent or power that makes her special. She needed to be Yda until she could come to terms with the reality of the situation and finally cast off the mask to be her own person, rather than someone who isn't even able to help the people that her sister knew and maybe even cared about.

And in addition, why are all of you on your high horse, perhaps you have forgotten that time where we DIDN'T HAVE THE BLESSING OF LIGHT and told no one. We were talking and dragging around the father of all dragon-kind and we said NOTHING. In a city-state at war with the most vengeful of the brood. I'm not calling out the Scions for lying or not telling us everything when we kept that a secret from them. Trust is a two-way street.

Everything just ends up working out perfectly one way or another for the protagonists in the vast majority of occasions and even if someone screws up there's rarely any real, lasting consequences.

Perhaps you have forgotten the events of 2.55. We were branded a traitor to Ul'dah and were forced out of the city. The only reason that worked out is because the little shite in charge of the Monetarists was making moves in the background, with his almost comically large amount of coin, deciding that killing not only the flame general, but making his execution a trap to kill the Warrior of Light, more destabilizing to Ul'dah than beneficial, and I just realized that we might owe that shite a favor.
