    Pretty sure Ishgard is actually more French than English.

    But hoo, boy did we take that in a dark direction. Cait Sith will be fine. I'm actually hoping he pulls a Reeve out of his proverbial hat and fakes us out with a, "You didn't think that was my main body, did you?" gag.
    I could go on, but to keep it concise: having works that criticize and question social issues doesn't mean they aren't present (or: American works often criticize our materialism, yet it remains almost blatantly obvious).

    Like I said earlier, I'm holding my breath with Cait Sith. I expect him to die, but I will be pleasantly surprised if that expectation is betrayed.

    Kind of beside the point...

    There's... a desire for change there, is all I meant. I keep clinging on to the moments in FFXIV that trigger my "Isn't this actually pretty [kupo]ed up?" alarms hoping that the director is just playing the long game.

    But anyway...
