    I disagree. Lawful good will kill evil creatures out of "duty", not valuing their lives- but possibly righteously their souls.

    Evil beings kill, destroy and oppress for the satisfaction it brings - or out of service to an evil master. They might kill something they do value in that service. Everyone will kill for various reasons. It's about why they do it... and for that reason, no job in FFXIV demonstrates a delight in suffering/death or servitude to evil master.

    Good does NOT value all life. Good will not hesitate to kill evil. Lawful good might even consider it a duty. Alignments value like alignments. Alignments are not about nice/not nice or right/wrong.

    (For the comment below) - That is a description of past events- current characters have not demonstrated evil behaviors. There is certainly nothing inherent about the job that makes it evil- such as pledging to evil or performing evil rituals for power. Oh sure, having the power might end up with people becoming evil... or not... but anyone can be corrupted. Look at Mr Thordan...and I don't think I would consider him evil. even.
