It's funny because I never mentioned FFIV at any capacity nor did I ever talk about the FFIV Fiends.
I am talking about FFXIV, the game where a Tommy Twoshoes character from back in ARR is revealed to actually be the guy who made Excalibur for a legendary Gandalf Godbringer character in Endwalker.

Do you really just want me to accept that MSQ MAIN CHARACTERS are just throwaways for fanservice? Is that really the level of copium where we're at?

Damn even Moenbryda has a lot more depth to these characters and she didn't even last two patches.
