    If Varis, the leader of an empire, has no idea what his son is up to, then thats just bad leadership. (And often the reason why empires like that will fall) Also him being friends with Regula or not does not really change anything about the empire itself. I mean even the most horrible person in the world can have a friend, which does not change the fact that this person is horrible.

    I am not going to say that Varis is evil reincarnated but if he in any way knew about the experiments and knew about Zenos doing in the countries..well that makes him into a bad person imo. Not necessarily evil but far away from good.

    But all of Cilias words and mine will be for nothing anyway because we just see the empire as it is know and somehow this is bad. (We also often point out that this might change in the future and that the people itself might not be that bad but thats mostly ignored by some to write another personal attack)

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    No?

    I've never said that Garlemald is perfect, I've said it's more nuanced than many here claim it to be - and given that we've reached the point where established lore is being ignored in favour of painting Garlemald and Garleans in the worst possible light then I would agree that there's little more to be said on the matter. Thankfully I can take comfort in the righteous of my cause - I put forward facts and logic, not overly emotional biased arguments that are largely based around flawed concepts of modern day morality being applied to a fictional setting.

    Regula's and Varis' strong friendship isn't an 'opinion' - it's an established fact, both within the lore book and in-game. Would it have been great to see more of it? Certainly - but sometimes reading between the lines is required. If both of them are described as having a strong friendship that spans thirty years then there's absolutely no reason to doubt it just because Varis isn't shown to be hugging Regula on screen.

    As I've said many times before, we'll just have to agree to disagree. What you're pushing is speculation rather than fact.
