Thread: [4.4 Discussion] "Change the Future"

The Eorzean Alliance and Scions may not have all the details though that does not change that they have been the aggressors since right before Stormblood. At this point, the situation is shaping up to be similar to Ishgard's bitter struggle. A war founded on false beliefs. As another poster so aptly put it, they're succumbing to their own hubris. The Warrior of Light is a powerful tool - and wielding that tool incorrectly is a recipe for disaster.

I'm not terribly worried about setting myself up for disappointment, either. Thus far a lot of my own speculation regarding specific characters and their circumstances/motivations has proven to be correct. I claimed that there was more to Regula, Fordola, Yotsuyu and Varis. In every case, it turned out to be true despite many here trying to paint them as outright villains with few, if any redeeming qualities. I feel it's safe to state that there's a good chance that the story is moving in a direction where the Eorzean Alliance and Scions are not as pure and righteous as they like to believe. Furthermore, I feel like there's a strong chance that things will not be so simple with this mysterious voice, either.

In fact, I distinctly recall being outright insulted and mocked on this very board for proposing that Omega's story would involve shades of grey and an element of tragedy...and yet that was precisely what happened.
