ff2,ff4,ff5,ff7,ff12,ff13 just to name a few. it's just strange to me that the expansion advertised as the darkest and grimmest one yet, where we face the toughest foes yet, is the expansion with the least amount of consequences for the protags and with seemingly the most humor. Its especially odd when almost every ff game has had consequences in one form or the other. It feels very much like a 14 thing.
