Myths of the Realm Rewritten

[IkaraGreydancer]

Eh, I prefer villains like Ilberd. He had a goal (Drag the WoL to free Ala Mingo) and accomplished it! Most of the bad guys they introduce had either tragic backstories or use their godpowers as if they are backed into a corner. Ilberd had a dragon's eye and singlehandedly shifted the attention of every leader of the Eorizean alliance to Ala Mingo. We need more bad guys like Ilberd, lol.

Tbh XIV has many different types of bad guys from super complex ones to "har har we bhad" ones. Think the writers have done a good job there

I guess one can like the trope that the gods are all just evil and powerhungry and be disappointed that for once they are not, so even though I disagree with the story rewrite in that part I can accept that someone might find it awesome.

But the ending...that ending...bascially all that rewriting is just there so that the Ascians can one day rise again as the surely great gods they were always meant to be...For someone that loves the story to be soo dark and gritty you surely want quite the happy ending for tragic characters.

I am thankful for having the writing team we have on FF14.

Oh yeah totally, I also much better prefer grounded villians. Even better when the final boss isnt all powerful, but my point was that each final boss in the FF series and in a lot of other jrpgs achieve some level of "godhood" which is where the trope comes from.

I'll see if I can find a way to link him to you, I can't remember his stuff LOL. Messaged him on discord to ask for it. I'll edit this post if I get a response.

EDIT: I sadly don't have a SFW link I can post here as the artist has kind of gone uh... pretty heavy on the NSFW stuff.

His name's Sorren though, if you want to seek him out somehow.

FF1, FF2, FF3, FF4, FF5, FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10

Just to name a few Final Fantasy games that had no need of gods or beings filling a similar niche.

FF10 revolves completely around religion and the end of it has you

fight Yu Yevon, god of the religion of the world.

Hydaelyn and Zodiark also may not have been ACTUAL gods, but that didn’t stop the Ascians from specifically calling Zodiark “the one true god” since ARR and treating him as such. Zodiark is one in the truest sense of the game’s world since he actually had powers to rewrite the fabric of reality.

While we now know they, other primals, and FFX’s example aren’t gods, that didn’t stop people from believing they were with whole theologies built around them, and we even have a line in SB where we tell the Kojin that we’ll “kill their god”.

Calling something a god doesn't make it a god. Something being worshipped as a god also doesn't make it a god. A creature possessing the power of a god doesn't make it a god either. It's all in the presentation.
