ShB story did not go the way I thought it would. (Spoilers)

[Theodric]

-snip-

I've completed the MSQ's on two different characters. It was never implied that Hydaelyn was 'good' and Zodiark 'evil'. Furthermore she has lied by falsely claiming that Zodiark was responsible for shattering reality when it was, in fact, a consequence of her own actions. Her motives are largely unknown for us and the attempts to paint her as being virtuous stem from bias sources as well as speculation pushed as fact on behalf of various players.

She is also directly responsible for Minfilia's situation and falsely presenting herself as a deity when she is not one. In general she's been fairly incompetent at best, malicious at worst.
