Could you be thinking of the 6.1 Omega quests? I do feel I should replay Endwalker sometime, be it on NG+ or an alt, to see if there are moments like that I missed. But yeah. I never felt to me that they tried to make Hydaelyn the saint some people think we see her as. I personally see the Ascian’s as great examples of villains who have suffered and genuinely believe they are in the right, but I also see Veant/Hyde as a character who had to make a horrible choice for the greater good. Sure, perhaps the writing does not equally assign blame or shame but… in the end, this is a Final Fantasy story. Often they do end up as pure ‘Good Vs Evil’ fabels (See the whole Light vs Chaos motif common in several games and spin-offs) and at least XIV has taken great steps to show that its really not so black and white. Its one of the reasons why I rank it so highly as a MMO and FF game.
At the very least declaring oneself a fan of Venat should not really be seen as somehow more immoral as calling oneself a fan of Ascians...
Wait, there was a possible fem-Meteor design!? I did not know that! That would be awesome... plus if thats true, it could mean she has a even more important role and connection to our WoL then I first thought. I have never been a fan of the idea that MMO/RPG media has a 'canon' archetype for a player character, but I do like how FFXIV can use this in regards to the Shards. I know, should not read too much into it all but what can I say? In deepest despair I prefer to look for the light everlasting. Bring on the 23th!Anyway back to 6.2 stuff, yeah I'm very excited for mystery reaper lady, and there's a good chance that she winds up being the elusive 1.0 fem-Meteor design people have been wanting finally being a canon character (due to how similar her face and hair looks from the short glimpses we see in the trailer).
