Now give everyone what they want and make them immortal. How long does it take for more and more people to be unhappy?

Of course we are still not the Nibiru or Ea. We could have a different path. Honestly we would probably follow the other races in Ultima Thules...those that destroyed themselves...be it through war or by destroying our planet.

FF14 is still a game and it wont ever perfectly show every aspect of life. The devs just choose that this message was the most important one they wanted to tell us. Maybe even more so with Covid and all the things going on. That a perfect life is not something that is good (thats something I learned in therapy as well..that striving for perfection just will make it worse, since you can never reach it) and that even though its horrible, suffering is part of our lifes. But happyness is too and we can find it in many ways. Even just eating enjoying a meal from your past with someone you like. Or a nice discussion that brings in different viewpoints.

The story has a really messed up suffering fetish that is really sick, and the whole suffering is part of life so if people don't have enough it should be inflicted on them is pure evil
