Not to mention gulool ja ja the mamool ja in dawntrails trailer is a direct rip/references to a npc with the same name on ff11. And countless monsters ripped from ff6,11,12 and 13. Just because they change the lore from things they rip from other ff games doesn't mean they don't borrow a lot from the previous games that people seem to deny the devs of doing.
We are talking about MSQ, not side quests/stories/content. About Gulool Ja Ja, we already have mamool ja and a two-headed mamool ja in Wanderer's Palace (Hard), its really not a big deal that they use a name of all things again. Should we start complaining about that they use morbols from FF2, Goblins from FF1, so on and so forth? Every FF uses monsters, and names from previous games, thats not something unique to FFXIV.

The reason the current patch's story is so bad, is because it really is a retelling. The moment Golbez was shown armor and all, you knew it was going to go. The Four Fiends, Shadow Dragon, maybe even Zeromus, just from seeing him. More importantly, that he would be redeemed.
