FFXIV's story is threading on dangerous religious grounds

[MagicPeanut]

Okay, I KNOW you’re trolling, but I just have to say that as a Christian, I have always respected how FFXIV handled religion and gods. The XIII trilogy, specifically with Lightning Returns, always had my eyes rolling with how blatantly insulting the story was towards the idea of God. But I was always amazed with how well FFXIV handled the concept of religion and worship. The characters seek to stop the beast tribes, but never leaned into insulting their beliefs or stomping on it to get what they wanted. The existence of beast tribe quests basically proves this. Anyway, yeah. I burst out laughing when I read the title of this thread.

The least of XIII's problems, by a mile, but valid point.

I prefer to forget that dumpster fire ever existed.
