Can I have a... (spoilers)

Can I have a regulator?

Like, seriously, it seems like a really awesome thing for an adventurer, and ESPECIALLY the Warrior of Light, to have.

Revive in the middle of combat? Yes please! Turn the souls of beasts into free limit breaks? Sign me up!

We kill enough random people and animals as it is, I'm pretty sure my WoL accidentally annihilated a group of protesters earlier today after tripping over a rock while walking to the grocery store. Hook me up with one of those soul suckers that the sentries have and give me the Galool Ja VIP pass to Orgenics, and I'd be actually unstoppable.

Returning to the Lifestream? Moral quandaries about using souls as fuel? Man, who cares? If they wanted to return to Hydaelyn to be reborn, they should have thought twice before throwing hands with the dude who saved the whole dang universe. Honestly, if they don't know who I am at this point, that's on them. I'm kind of a big deal.

Is it really reviving if the regulator simply copies your memories onto a new soul?

Yes because the story failed to explore this obvious question and many others.

Since the story has made pretty clear that what matters and constitutes a person is memories and not the soul (which is just an energy vessel, whether being cleansed in the aetherial sea or artificially), then yes?

You know regulators only work by eating the souls of people who were removed from the life stream. This means in a world where reincarnation is real you are perma killing someone by using a regulator.

You're not killing anybody by using souls stored within regulators. The real issue that the story brought up with Alexandrian society is how unsustainable their system is, and how it draws souls away from the aetherial sea and the natural system without giving back (and also required even more just to keep the endless/matrix online).

You are just one sub among the millions. Heheh!

[Vahlnir]

Sorry, but are bound by a strict moral code.

...Which makes me want one even more. Yes please.

Lol not much of a warrior of light man. You know regulators only work by eating the souls of people who were removed from the life stream. This means in a world where reincarnation is real you are perma killing someone by using a regulator. Using a feral soul of a monster whatever, but using an actual "humanoid" soul is insanely immoral in the context of FF14's world system.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Who needs a regulator? We already have main character plot armor.

I see an interesting connection between the nature of your message, and your sig.
