    Tbh there’s always been moral ambiguity among even the protagonist states. What with Uldah still allowing slavery and whatnot. Main point was that Gabranth and his ideals ftmp were actually better for Bozja than what they had before. The exposition dumps had some similarities to ffT and 12, but it wasn’t just completely taken. It was adapted into 14 I wish people would realize how much time it seems Matsuno put into the storyline because he literally was able to tie a major plot point of his story to a major msq presence aka the Garleans. He seems to have actually cared about making sure it was a story everyone could understand, and i have to be honest i kind of find it funny when people complain about exposition dumps, but then they also complain when things aren’t explained clear enough. It’s like what more do you want. Personally i thought it was a pretty good amount of exposition and actual plot. With the exposition i was able to genuinely understand what was going on and feel invested. It’s more than i could say for this expansions msq.

    Those are different complaints, which likely mean different people are voicing them. If they're the same people, they may want a clear explanation without having too much exposition.

    One possibility is if it becomes a prerequisite to another content, like the Crystal Tower and Ivalice raids.
