It was getting tiresome basically looking at the strongest baddies in all Eorzea and have them fall over dead. We NEEDED to feel like we can't immediately beat everything or solve every problem.
We already had something like that in the wings. Two things, actually; Shinryu and Omega.



We should be threatened by things that actually are worthy of a legend. Someone described as a one-(wo)man-army shouldn't be getting tossed around so handily by one enemy soldier even if he (potentially) had a bootleg version of our ability.

You want to make Garlemald feel dangerous? Have Zenos fight us, then, as we win, tell us to look around as war machines and droves of soldiers slaughter everyone nearby. Garlemald should never be the Apollo Creed to our Rocky; it's strength lies in its population, technological superiority, and reach. It should be threatening, not because any individual in the army can take us on, but because no matter how strong we are, we can't take down even a fraction of their entire army alone, and certainly not before they murder everyone else in their way.
