WARNING – THERE ARE OPEN SPOILERS BELOW THE IMAGE OF LEVIATHAN AND ALTISSIA.
DO NOT READ THIS THREAD IF YOU CARE ABOUT SPOILERS!
Did anyone notice how people seemed to be only mildly bothered when Altissia was doomed to go the way of Atlantis?
The first secretary of Altissia, Camelia, may have preferred Lunafreya not to awake Leviathan, but it didn’t take much persuading for her to agree to it.
Yes, the people of Altissia are evacuated and saved (the three chocobros are given this task) but what about the beautiful city of Altissia? Did nobody care about that? Hundreds (possibly thousands) of years of history and culture destroyed forever. Imagine if Venice was destroyed like this? Would people just accept that, or would they be angry and protest?
Do you think that the inhabitants of Altissia were also angry at the loss of their homes, and the loss of their entire cultural identity? Or do you think they just shrugged it off and were happy to be refugees, possibly moving to Lestallum?
Do you really think that every single inhabitant agreed to leave their homes or managed to leave their home in time?
We had a refugee scene at Tenebrae with people crying at the train station as Tenebrae was on fire, but unless I missed it I do not believe that we ever witness such a scene for the people of Altissia.
Interestingly, Ardyn feigns to care about the plight of the Altissians. Ardyn executes Ravus for his own reasons, but the official reason is stated to be for failing to kill Leviathan and letting her destroy Altissia.
Thoughts?
