I love me the fiends but people using FFIV's writing to criticize their inclusion in FFXIV has never touched the original game whatsoever.
Yeah like they were literal throwaways in IV. They had a purpose in XIV, yeah we're already through all 4 of them, but again that was their purpose. Their purpose is to hold back the "good guys" as long as possible so Golbez has more time to get whatever his plan is turning. Not only that, but there are also sidequests in Radz that go further into detail about them as a whole. Not sure what people are expecting tbh. Everything and anything has to be ShB standard of quality, or its just dog shit now apparently.
