Ruby Weapon Questline

I think the point is that we are not shocked by the 'sacrifice' but that said sacrifice was most likely much more painful and prolonged than the swift deaths that we and other soldiers would mete out against opponents, even if said opponents were driving magitek machina.

I'm not so sure about that. I mean, we've boiled people alive in our flamethrowers, slowed them down by freezing them and killed them slowly with poison DoTs. We propably could and did much worse to them then Ruby would. And if those weapons are somewhat 'humane', the pilot wouldn't feel anything anyway in oversoul thanks to anesthetic injections or something like that.

If I recall, Cid was very explicit that the pilot was in horrible pain.
