Dawntrail's MSQ story is a disaster and waste of potential. [full spoilers]

[Raven2014]

What i don't get is why Endwalker and Dawntrail both have Villian women. What happened to badass men? Zooral ja was cool, Sphene is lame and feels like a copy of Meteion.

Uh ... what do you call Zeno then? Remember him, that dude we fought in the last fight of EW?

The problem with FF14 in general is we rarely get a real villain, Zeno was like the only tried and true, unapologetic villain. The only other I can think of is Asashi, but he's a side character. Since the story tend to focus on the power of understanding, love and friendship that the majority of time all the bad guys are talktojitsu into redemption or at least just a sympathetic misunderstanding.
