The Masked Mage

[PSxpert2011]

SE will probably rewrite it all! Thanks guys, you uncovered the mystery of it al,lol! (joking)

It's really a Garlean cover-up and everything you've learned through the cut-scenes are misleading.

The truth can be far greater that fiction because I see ARR as true allegory of the RL investigations of Atlantis, ancient civilizations and the Nephilim. It's abstract to current life.
The elite[Garleans] want power to control the world but I think they are being used by a superior race and it's seen through all of the XiV BETA.

I believe the mask-mage is not just the summoner of Bahamut but also a cult leader who gained immortality through extreme compromise. Primals are false gods but on essence of the Aeyther like some may say. I haven't played in a while so let me go back and reference this... it could be much deeper that what's already revealed.

My conclusion:
This story can have no real surprises for me and it would need more twist and expansions to explain it all to be on par with RL human history/ lore.
The corruption of the world and the efforts to claim this world for their own through manipulation and deceit.
Nothing now in real life seems to be far fetch from fantasy anymore when everything we know now was used 3000 years ago already.
Though the plot of the main scenarios are interesting, it could much more grand if it was to compare fantasy and reality.
