I'm actually not in support of this notion. For one thing, rocking the boat is human nature, for another, far to much of Final Fantasy as a series has taken pains to insist that there is no great evil that can be defeated to bring about eternal world peace. Nothing stopping that from happening here, sure, but somehow I don't think we're going to loop around into "we were right all along" because as myself and other have pointed out, we're wrong on a lot already.

I'd like to think there's a way to fix equilibrium without trashing our Mothercrystal (she does mean well), but beyond that I just can't see killing all the Ascians as a viable or even a worthy goal.
