Wow, okay, I'm sorry for suggesting you might like the healer role quest. On review, I'm not sure you'll like any of the role questlines.

I won't deny that a constant Thing with FFXIV has been an unwillingness to engage with some of the uglier issues of a big story's aftermath. I understand why they don't (I don't think anyone would be all that interested if Stormblood's patch questlines were instead Fantasy Nuremberg), and honestly, I don't think it's an especially deep sin of theirs; most games don't even bother with any of the aftermath, FFXIV is actually quite unique in consistently dwelling for quite a while in the 'now what' territory after the final battle.

But I do think the Endwalker role quests are a big step in the right direction, because all of them focus on something that region's story has always sort of pointed the proverbial camera away from. And yeah, by nature it is 'the stuff we didn't talk about when it was current', but I do think it's smart that they use that as part of the text. 'We haven't talked about this for too long' is an element both in and out of universe, the neglect and willful ignorance becoming central to the story.

FFXIV is ultimately always a positive story, one that looks up and ahead. that's a part of why EW's role quests focus on what they do--that optimism and want to move forward means that there's little room for stories about mistreated families of war vets or discriminated-against minorities, so it's really nice that they made a whole set of storylines about circling back to all that. But at the same time, you can't expect that optimism to just leave for those questlines, and if you come at that story about veteran families with the outlook of 'have we considered they might have deserved being treated like this', you're not gonna find much.

...also, I'm not even sure how you could go through the whole storyline thinking Fordola had shown no regret or remorse, given basically the main secondary theme of the story is 'Fordola is abundantly Not Okay and is wracked by nearly every kind of guilt it's possible to have'. It's just that she's been trained to keep all that pain bottled up... which is only making it worse, really.
