Eh, each to their own but that was never what drew me to the games in the first place. It was the nuance of the more mature titles - a trend I hoped that FFXIV itself would follow. FFXII appealed to me in large part because it didn't result in the Archadian Empire being cut apart and done away with. Larsa ascended the throne but we didn't get rid of the concept of an Emperor.

FFIX didn't end with Queen Garnet abdicating the throne either. I like Empires, Knights, Monarchies and other similar tropes. I'd rather not see them done away with or gutted to the point of every region just subscribing to the same bland set of modern day real world ideals that the Scions often enforce on everybody but themselves.

After seeing how the Ancients and Garleans were handled, I'd rather not see more elements of the game that I like be completely or near completely destroyed and changed. The game's rated for ages sixteen and up in my region so it can...afford to have some grit to it. Not everything needs to wrap up perfectly in a neat little bow.
