    The problem is is that there is too much fun stuff and too little tragedy
    Mate, I guarantee you, when the next part of the MSQ hits, when we will find ourselves up to our proverbial necks in trouble and danger, there will be more than enough tragedy to get you second and third helpings plus salad.

    If what i think is going to happen comes to pass, we are ALL going to look back on this small interregnum and be grateful we had this chance at a respite. I dont know WHAT is coming, but I am absolutely certain that we are building up to an event that MAY make the Calamity look tame.

    Yoshi has said we are headed for what he called " a massive world changing event"..if you want tragedy and pain, grab a plate and get in line.

    100% of which is directed at antagonistic forces such as garleans.

    There was a man, close to a century ago, who was persecuted, one of the greatest minds of the last two centuries, who barely escaped with his life, who then spent the rest of that war in exile whilst he knew his own people were in the process of being obliterated....one of his favourite pastimes was to ask for and receive letters from children.

    What was his name? Albert Einstein.

    A Garlean child has no idea of what is going on outside, doesnt understand the war, doesnt understand why his home is now in ruins...doesnt know why so many of his family and friends will never be seen again..but he has been told of some magical rabbits who live on the moon, a place he has never seen...and the child writes to them, almost in a mystical wondering tone..or a refugee, lost, terrified, displaced, his own family probably dead or missing...looking for hope...for ANY reassurance that he can look to tomorrow..that all is not lost.

    "Even here, I am not alone"

    If you cant, or wont understand how and why someone would write that from the wreckage of his home city, looking, searching for ANYTHING that wont tell him "Forget it, its all over you have nothing and no one left"....I cant help you.

    I really like this breakdown actually, way more into the knowledge of society and the games lore then I am. I need to start paying more attention to the inner workings but you are right I do believe something big will happen or something/someone needs to have a tragic ending to give some needed levity to the whole situation.
