Lore Forum Decorum - Just What is Meant by Good/Bad Faith?

I'm not so sure. It felt like something there hinting at what they could do to us later in MSQ. Imagine if we entered a new land, and somebody steals our body by throwing out our soul with some form of magic (similar to the Soul Extraction device), forcing us to have to use a body nearby. Any NPCs from Eorzea would instantly know it's not us in our body, but the locals would not know that. We could have an entire zone story (we'd be glamoured in the mean time) and instance without us in our body, and then get it back at the end of the zone, the locals convinced that we caused everything. It'd make for some good storytelling and give us a foe who would be difficult to fight simply because they could body hop like any Ascian, and not even the Blessing (if it is still there) could protect us. At the same time it could expand on what we were able to do in that instance where we weren't in our own body.

Coulda woulda shoulda. That’s all i’ve been hearing since ShB. That this could happen in the future etc etc. It doesn’t change the fact that as of right now, in this expansion, it meant nothing. It did nothing. It accomplished nothing. It was a waste of time, time that could’ve been spent elsewhere to explain the many things people feel haven’t been answered either well or at all.

It meant the WoL and the player learned just how much more powerful they are compared to everybody else. It accomplished not only a sense of urgency, it also showed that if the WoL was outside of their body for long enough they could make any body as strong as their own, as seen by the end where despite being on death's door you ran and threw a sword through a Voidsent Avatar. Something that should not have been possible considering you were able to die in that body, yet made it move through force of will alone, which also heavily hinted at Dynamis considering such a thing would not have been possible with just aether.
