- It was hammered home over and over throughout the Ala Mhigo arcs of Stormblood that the greatest horror of the imperial occupation was the Garleans taking the children. Gaius had a direct stake in this, and not just because he was the legatus: he was directly responsible for the Crania Lupi, a group that portrayed to a T the intergenerational trauma of imperialism.
- So no, I don't appreciate that the Weapon story is trying to retroactively paint Gaius as "not as bad as other Garleans" while setting his character up for some kind of redemption and/or sympathy from the fanbase. Doubly so because you just know these new kids are probably just going to keep getting picked off to serve a story not about imperial evil but about Gaius' shitty manpain.
- This isn't about "they ignored Ala Mhigo again" - this is about the fact that the Ultima Weapon isn't Gaius' legacy. The Crania Lupi is Gaius' legacy. And the Ascians didn't make him do that shit.
- There's so much more I'm angry about - Livia, Fordola, even Cid - but I'm really tired.
