FFXIV has lost it's heart

[Hallarem]

I'm not sure where you're from but where I live we often have these food fairs where people from across the world share their cuisine for locals to enjoy, as a way of sharing culture and encouraging mutual understanding and empathy. My understanding is these kinds of celebrations -using food to strengthen social bonds - is not uncommon in the world. So this story beat in DT didn't feel far fetched to me.


First things a fun little retcon, we don't need to pretend it's a cardinal sin.

Second thing, none of them had the academic background to be able to identify the right seeds for their environment and the connections to procure them. That's what made Koana and Erinville perfect for the job. Recall how there's no great university in the Mamool Ja village and they explicitly resisted opportunities to foster strong relationships with other societies. People who leave that culture wouldn't immediately become genius agriculturalists, friends and brothers to all.

"Seed doesnt grow here. Lets try other seed" doesnt need a science degree. Its trial and error the most basic science even a todler can do. But I see you are now writing for the writers. So Ill stop here.

They have to travel back and forth between continents in this trial and error approach, a journey the game portrays as not something people tend to do on the regular. They said they tried things and nothing they tried worked. This is all 100% already in the text. You have selective memory. There are plenty of legitimate things to criticize in DT but this isn't it
