[NO IT'S A VALID GUESS ffxiv magic is nonsensical so no rational person would get this question right ever anyway]

Most scholars in my homeland would agree with you. But surprisingly enough, it's just the opposite.

[no really there was an entire in-game cutscene explaining this backward-ass logic which is also the only reason why thancred even knows it]

Light is the pole of passive aether. Stagnation. Introduce a flood of light into a thriving forest and all you'll be left with is a lifeless desert. A wasteland too saturated with static aether for anything to thrive or grow.

What you saw in Amh Araeng was a world on the verge of being utterly consumed in light. A world where all but a fraction of it had already been subsumed. And that any fraction even survived at all was the result of the efforts of a single girl, called upon to be the avatar of the goddess of light herself.

Her name was Minfilia. My Minfilia.
