Revelations from Patch 4.2

[Dualblade]

True, their ability to reverse-engineer and utilise Allagan technology conferred them that ability to wipe out primals.

But then the Allagan actually had to be ingenious rather than relying on some godling's protege being thrown in their direction.

Except going by what we have learned in things like the Crystal Tower it was one person (Xande) that kept everything together and running right and upon his death it was just one long, slow decline. Then he got revived and everything went pearly shaped cause as it turns out being dead kinda affects how you think of things.

How much sway should that still hold in justifying their current actions, especially if those actions have been against nations that weren't part of the group that persecuted them in the first place? How many current Pure-blooded Garleans can be "justified" in their racism towards others, when chances are many of them grew up in the Empire, not the tiny nation that had to fight to survive?

While what you think on this is most likely what I think on it (and even though you aren't asking me), I'd also say that in real life people, countries, cultures, etc use past grudges to justify lots of things even if its been so long since the occurance happened that literally noone alive could have been around for it. So I could see it being used to "justify" themselves even if other places like Eorzea don't agree.
