I think XIV is doing pretty well at depth and subtlety. Sure, Warriors of Light and other FF tropes, and Dragons and some wider fantasy tropes... the game's got all those. But we also got Gaius van Baelsar, the whole Kobold thing, and if you've been doing Coil and following other hints... the Dragons :O

In short, SE's been giving us plenty of grey areas. At least from my perspective.

(Can we just murderize all the Ascians already so the interesting villains can have more camera time?)
