Dear SE, This is what I want :)

First, I want to say patch 1.22 is awesome, and the Garuda fight is awesome! Great work.

What I want, and what this game is still missing, is an antagonist that I absolutely hate and allies that i absolutely love (like Hildebrand!). Please please please confirm that there is going to be some enemy in 2.0 that is hellbent on taking over Eorzea. If you think about it, the world after a meteor strike would be the perfect opportunity to do it. It is not a squaresoft game (or SE game for that matter) without someone in it like this:

Speaking of Hildebrand, your face look familiar..

A clear enemy would be neat. But I'd prefer they stay away from Shadow Lord syndrome - where you the player is so far removed from the story that defeating the Shadow Lord carries very little to no weight.

Nael is pretty much a replica of Sephiroth/Kefka. If you've been following with the story. However, unlike Kefka who JUST WANTED TO DESTROY EVERYTHING LOL!, Nael has an actual goal.

Perhaps it would be better if there was an antagonist in the game that we cant defeat... at least not for now. That stays in the game and gives us fresh content. What I mean is, if we had a deep character like kefka or sephiroth in the game, it would be relatively easy to cook up new content in the future because it would be relatively easy to think up things that they would do. Truthfully I am not really even sure who Nael is. obviously, if he was a good antagonist I would have known his name because it would have been shoved down our throats, right?
