Maybe you mean the Rome based in Hollywood, California.
a) Missed the point of the thread
b) Condescending and patronising tone again
c) Whereas the Roman Empire had many different qualities throughout its 2,200 years, it was an expansionist civilization which the majority of its leaders achieved through direct conflict. It was at war for the larger part of its existence.

Abriael, a blunt tone is fine if you lack the eloquence to hold a civil discussion (I'm used to it here), but it's becoming quite clear your intent is to gain some notoriety on these forums to increase the popularity of your review site. It's becoming tiresome watching you derail thread after thread with your passive-aggressive posts.

There should be messages of living in freedom, human rights and standing up for dreams, things Final Fantasy was made of. For a company to have started out this way, happen to take a turn to a new direction. I'm not sure what their massage to their fan is anymore but main stream pop-culture and soap-operas. Do you think SE needs to reform?

Comments and ideas are welcomed.
I think they're well on-target and don't need reformation. The storyline in 1.0 regards The Echo literally blew my mind (actually, I meant literarily blew my mind) to the point where it's still provoking thoughts and theories, despite being offline for five months. I loved the Dalamud storyline, though I found it comparatively basic (because Anonymoose hasn't analysed it fully yet and uncovered something insane). For me, it has re-captured the storytelling prowess the series had displayed in earlier years. I'm really looking forward to an active conflict with the Garlean Empire in the years to come.
