Why So Much Rape in Stormblood

[Zarabeth]

Ok, war is hell and bad things happen during war. I don't think this is overplayed in FFXIV, it's treated as the fact that it is. Also to deny such crimes occur, and try to erase them from the world, is not the way to deal with them.

OP I'm sorry for what happened to you. Therapy may help you cope and get past this. If therapy doesn't appeal to you there are also online forums to heolp people cope with these problems. It will never go away but it can be overcome. If a video game freaks you out like this, then you have some serious issues that need to be addressed in therapy not on a game forum. Please get the help you need.

You can't invade a country with 4 people, that's called infiltration.

You know that's actually a fair point. Well argued!

Is it a fair point when you consider that one of those individuals literally commands a devastating amount of power, though? Enough to turn the tide of countless battles with their mere presence?

Speaking objectively I think its a fair point. Infiltration is a more fitting term than invasion really.

Only the one time in which you can argue that played a role was when we helped Hien win the Nadaam. The biggest fight other than that was us fighting Zenos, which despite all our power we still lost and he ran away to make it appear that he lost. Most of the effort to turn the tide of public opinion in Doma was done through diplomacy and stealth operations (freeing those conscripted which had more stealth and subterfuge than brute strength). We didn't huff and puff and blow Doma Castle's walls down, even that military feat was thanks to Hien's brilliance as a strategist and a leader.
You can argue we won people over with the same charisma we usually do with our silence and stoic nods, but we certainly didn't bulldoze our way through until the locals had picked up arms and decided to fight for themselves, at which point we became their lance.
Did our presence there make a difference as to how the fighting ended? Absolutely. But it was not that strength that caused the fighting, it was not that strength that made people pick up arms, and the people didn't even rally behind us, they did behind Hien.

There were some creepy moments [and it was directed towards men mostly]
I think Yoshida also kept in mind to keep it very historical and 'stereotypical' yet neutral. Rape did not always occur to my mind but I HAVE to ask this...

Magnai was a creep in such regard... wasn't he? lol

So are the vegans also going to complain because we're able to kill sheep?

Most of the animal related stuff happened further back with a shark fin soup post.

Some people are too stupid to see the difference between virtual (not real) vs the real world.
