See, the issue I have with most of the people saying this in the thread is that, the way it's said, it comes across more like sour grapes than a legitimate argument about inconsistency or double standards. One of the major themes of FFXIV is that the Scions are slowly becoming more experienced and "wiser" during their journeys and avoid making the same mistakes. So, the argument of "X character suffered Y hardship but Z character didn't" doesn't quite resonate. Gr'aha is a relative latecomer to the Scions and hasn't been through the same number of expansions to make sacrifices and mistakes, and as a latecomer, he's also surrounded by Scions who have improved their adventuring credentials and have considerably more resources.

So, with all that in mind, this comes across less like a double standard and more like, "My grandma died when there was no vaccine for COVID, so it's a double standard that other people can get vaccinated and live."

Or, in the context of FFXIV, "This character I liked better suffered and/or died because the Scions failed to save them, so how come I don't get to watch Gr'aha Tia die?"
