Theodric, I really want to agree with you but you seem to have a terrible taste in what's actually good character building. It seems to me that you want every character in this game to be dark, edgy, and brooding with the themes and story cater towards a dark tone when really FFXIV wasnt ever going to be a Game of Thrones. Nor do I want it to. Dark tones for the sake of dark tones doesnt create engaging stories alone.
