And I disagree wholeheartedly that an hereditary ruling class and empire/kingdoms being absolute for fantasy, especially Final Fantasy. You often talk about medieval-ish fantasy as a monolith but ignore that you're talking about western medieval fantasy (mostly French/Spanish/British in origin). Further still, most locations in Final Fantasy XIV are not "goodie goodie democratic [governments]" as you claim is the norm. Even among the starting cities you find boring... aren't that. There's the pirate-like thalassocracy of Limsa Lominsa, the oligarchic theocracy of Gridania, the puppet hereditary monarchy and its monetarist rulers of Ul'dah. And outside of that, only in Eorzea mind, you have the nomadic tribes of Paglth'an who hold council often in times of war, the matriarchal hereditary ruling class of the four chieftains of Xelphatol, the theocracy and structured caste system of O'Ghomoro, the non-hereditary monarchy of the Indigo Deep sahagin, the... autonomous collectives of the twelveswood sylphs and moogles, the "free nation" of Idyllshire, the hereditary monarchic clans of Ok'Gundu, Ok'Zundu and Ok'Vundu, the hivemind of Loth ast Gnath and the guild collective of Loth ast Vath and indeed, the representative democracy of Ishgard and the loose republic of Ala Mhigo.

Outside of that, besides the Garlean provinces we have no knowledge of, Garlemald and the Garlean Empire itself had a senate despite being a hereditary monarchic empire, Doma is and was a hereditary monarchy, Hinganshi is an isolationist shogunate, Dalmasca has hopes of regaining it's kingdom status, Bozja and its supposed meritocracy, Radz-at-Han and its sham hereditary monarchy, really an autocratic satrapy with no hereditary component, and whatever the heck Werlyt is.

It's more akin to an independent research group that owned land and conducted experiments and such. Their thing was that they were studying the Echo and other aetheric matters. It's not a "university club"... It's why they take requests for surveys and such.

Not salty at all. That adjective would probably fit you better as it seems a nerve was struck prompting you to say this.

"Anything that doesn't interest me personally is objectively terrible." /thread

I'm not gonna pretend the story is some flawless masterpiece, but when your objections all boil down to just not liking it, and you reply aggressively to every attempt to discuss anything, you only hurt your own side.

It's called emphasis. The point was to mimic an announcer xD Youre for getting the wrong read from that
