Well that is a question that needs answering..
What if the reason for them hording large amount of gil (Ul'dah)is due to them understanding the dangers of gil, and just wanted to remove them out of the other races hands to prevent them from being greedy and corrupt?
What if the Assassin cults are there because Eorzea need indiviuals dead, to safe the rest?
What if the poor and straving population is a way used by the Lalafell to strengthen and toughen the people for the trials ahead? Getting carefree Miqo'te to work in pillow houses and stuff, laid low the too proud Elzean?
What if underneath that cute and carefree face lies a firece soul and will todominateguide everyone to a brighter and hopefully future incagespeace
