I have mixed feelings about this one, because as interested as I am in Fordola's storyline, I'd like to experience it in-game, not in a side story. Further, this story makes me fear that Fordola's story may be OVER, as far as the game is concerned. My worry is that we'll be presented with an off-hand note about Fordola's new "career", and never see her again. To be fair, I don't think that's terribly likely, but it's certainly the case that if this story is meant to be canon, there will need to be some kind of reference to it in-game.

I do agree that "boxed crook" is a fate that suits Fordola well. There's not many who can safely fight Primals, and doing so does not conflict with either Fordola's (still existing?) loyalty to the Garleans or her tentative willingness to make up for the wrongs she committed while working for them.

It was fun to see the all-summoner team from the SMN job quests, as well!
