    Eh, Shantotto was overinflated by the fandom, and Robel-Akbel felt kinda forced. It just felt like they had to make him seem ruthless in order to get people to take him seriously. Sadly, it's the same reason why we never had a tarutaru serpent general in TAU.

    The two sons of whatshisname that owns the miner's guild in Uldah feel a bit more natural. They should probably go somewhere along those lines, IMO.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.

    So in other words, you agree with OP's idea.

    I agree that there should be a villian lalafell. I don't agree with the notion of him/her being built around the idea of Shantotto or Robel-Akbel.

    Not entirely built around the idea of Shantotto. I forgot Robel-Akbel's name during the post, but yeah I had him in mind. Would be nice to see a Lalafell show more physical prowess, since both Tarutaru powerhouses were mages. The miners are a start, but were still a bit too comical imo.
