When I started playing back in 2.0 I knew I wanted to be a White Mage, and I ended up in Gridania.... however nice looking the forest environment are, the wildlife, and especially the people can be very hostile. I don't see the point of having a lush beautiful forest if everyone is just going to be miserable. As much as I love Gridania, I can't stand the people and their judgmental attitudes... there is something just... wrong about how a human being can respect an non-sentient life form or inanimate matter than a flesh and blood person. The other two nations have their issues but sometimes I cannot stand how the natives deal with "outsiders", at least Isgardians have their Dragon War so at least they have an excuse.

One would think having a meteor dropped on them forcing them to collaborate with other nations would change their outlook, but sometimes I feel like the Shroud (not all of it, at least not the part with the Ixali and the Slyphs) should be set on fire. At least enough to make Gridanians question why they should treat their neighbors.
