Hi all. Not sure if this is the correct forum. Anyways, here we go.

So I've been thinking about the DRK being the WoL and it seems a bit contradictory. I main a DRK and it's been one of my fave FF classes since FFIV (FFII when I played it in the 90s). I still struggle a bit with reconciling the fact that we draw power from the abyss while we are the WoL. So I was curious as to how others saw that fact and what their conclusions are.

The way I think of it, it's the "darkness inside everyone". Despite being the chosen of Hydaelyn, we still have emotions and feelings that we hold back and feed the darkness.

I also think that the abyss that Sidurgu refers to is not the same as the Void from where the Ascians come from, so that helps. It's more of a metaphorical thing, almost in the Nietzschean sense.

I don't RP or anything, but I like my characters to be consistent with in-game lore, so I'm looking forward to any insight you might provide.
