We just see them as unlikable characters in a video game and their deaths are just the deaths of a character in a video game.
But to our WoL, those are real, living people that they've taken the lives of.
Except that Ilberd is hated by the WoL, because he was a backstabbing mass murderer.

Except that the WoL didn't kill Ystride, Sid did (At the behest of Rielle).

Except that the Imperial goons were literally trying to kill us in order to allow the Ultima Weapon to be used without resistance.

It's no different to how we killed Nidhogg. Twice. He was a real, living dragon. He was entirely justified in his anger because it was humans that betrayed the peace and murdered his sister to get her eyes.

It's no different to how we killed all those Ascians. They were real, sort of living? People. But they were evil to the core and trying to destroy all life.

That's why the WoL's response to all of this nonsense with Myste wasn't even close to being guilty. It was anger at the fact that Myste was trying to do this. That's why we ended up summoning up Fray and why Sid was also angry at Myste, because both of these people also know that Myste is talking absolute crap and know that you have to do bad things for good reasons.

Heck, even Rielle accepts this fact (Which is why she wants to train in Conjury with E-Sumi-Yan rather than to walk the path alongside Sid and us, she doesn't want to have to make that kind of choice)
