/r/ffxivdiscussion: Has FFXIV had any major retcons or plot holes in the story?

[Turtledeluxe]

For the record, I do not believe that it is even necessarily a bad thing to draw comparisons to real world history so long as some tact is being deployed. It is not exactly a secret that FFXIV heavily draws upon certain real world countries, cultures and historical events in order to tell a story inspired by real world history. In the context of what is being discussed, however, I'm not sure how much more I can stress that the term genocide is used within the game itself and that the way in which the Ancients were wiped out and replaced is very similar to the consequences of certain real world events. The only difference is that magic is involved but again, so is that the case with the Rejoinings and that certainly doesn't lead to the term suddenly not being applicable.

I don't see any arguments to respond to but this is completely not comparable. We are talking about a human voice actor in that thread and someone was trying to say that minorities do not exist. That's incredibly dangerous when you're talking about real people. That isn't about fictional characters.

And the voice actor is part of a minority group, hence why i said dismissed. They are wrong. Certain discussions are two way on the forum, but that point is just not one of them. It's not negotiable.

Also the Holocaust point was brought up by someone you quoted. Alphinaud mentions it, when talking about the targeting of a group of humans.
