I was prepared to get really mad at Final Fantasy XIV before I actually played Shadowbringers and found out how they'd expand the cosmology, mythos, and magic system to explain how light and darkness really work. I hate "neutrality means only murderfucking half the time" fictional morality systems, so it was nice to have the reveal that light and darkness were energy, just like the other elements of fire, lightning, wind, water, ice (no idea why ice is its own element but it's magic so whatever) and earth, and that all of them could "flood" and destroy ecosystems and entire worlds. Evil still exists, as intent, and the utter annihilative force is an absence of such magic in the form of nihilistic despair as applied through akashi, or dynamis. Not perfect, but it was actually nice to separate good and evil from the elemental system entirely, no matter the reputation of "black mages" in the setting versus "white mages" before.
Nice, nice, good for them.
