i would say that DRK falls more into chaotic neutral or true neutral. we do good, we do bad, we don't get a shite about most laws, and will kill people who hide behind them.

I actually would say that Lawful Good is the least represented by the NPCs.
I wanted to say Scions, but they're pretty rogue most of the time. They definitely fall into Neutral Good.
they for the most part follow the law. they really have their own alignments however, with thancred being the closest to chaotic good while the rest are neutral or lawful. minfilia, Y'shtola, and papalymo are without a doubt lawful good though.

FFXIV deals with the alignments heavily.
I guess it's not vague in the sense that people mostly fit into one category and stay there most of the time.
That's pretty true. Otherwise, it definitely deals with the spectrum of alignments and separates lawful and good (as well as chaos and evil).
exactly! good and evil (like order in chaos) are not polarizing. those that walk the road to ruin pave the ground with good intentions, and villains can turn into anti-heroes just as quickly. Thordan made it perfectly clear that he was becoming a god-king for the good of eorzea and that nothing would stand in his way in achieving his goals. he WANTED to see a ishgardian empire at peace with the world, and was willing to do anything to make it so. He was ultimately wrong, and his way of going about his goals were as poor as gaius,' but he had good intentions.
