Nobody is suggesting that is anything more than a story, though...?

As it happens, it's a story that people have invested in for up to a decade and the finale left a decent amount of people left wanting.

I think it's telling that World of Warcraft gave Horde players the choice to either side with or oppose a character as controversial as Sylvanas when she decided to engage in an act of genocide. That FFXIV did not show the player the same respect and simply assumed that we'd be perfectly fine going along with Venat's plan to genocide the Ancients is, quite honestly, pretty bizarre.

I just want consistency, personally. Genocide was established as a red line in the sand that absolutely could not be crossed and was to be opposed. Except, of course, that one time it was a 'good' genocide because it directly benefitted the protagonists.
