The latter never really existed. We did strange things, but there was more of a lovecraftian bent toward unexplained and unknowable things that arose as a direct result of curiosity in areas that were on shaky scientific ground at best.
Mistaking us for being comparable to a comedy movie, at any point, does a great disservice to the comedy movie. Simply put: We're not terribly funny. Our appeal has always been narrow. I'm an awful person. Just, like...in general. The Ghostbusters were charming characters in humorous situations.
If you wanted to draw parallels here, you'd be better off with a classical literature mash-up, given the themes and personalities present. There was a bit of Herbert West of Reanimator. A lot of Captain Nemo. A few dashes of Arthurian influences. Heavy emphasis on desperation, post and near apocalyptic settings.
With that clarified, let me answer: Neither. Misericorde's leadership has swapped to different hands, character-wise, with Isaac pulling largely away from society, and focusing on providing information, experimental weapons and armor to the people in the field.
Clementine, the woman now in charge of actually running things, is a different character with different sensibilities when it comes to how things go. As it stands, the group's only stated goal is to aid with quelling the rising problems in Ishgard. How they go about that will develop organically.
Fake Edit: Yeah, but that effort post, though.
Castus literally described old school Misericorde as "Eorzea's Ghostbusters." I liked the idea of a rag-tag group of voidsent hunters, something akin to Hellboy, and I have a character that fits that premise so I figured I'd ask.

Yeah, unfortunately, the point in time he was describing saw us shelling a mine to kill two people, shooting a woman in the stomach, burning down a crypt and a library with phosphor bombs, and crashing a hijacked airship (we didn't hijack it, we just wrecked it) outside of Ishgard, and stealing components before the authorities arrived.
Really, Sentinel's Ark probably never should've hired us.
Oh, we were also totally prepared to leave the majority of them to die in that mine. In case there was any, and I do mean any further questions about who we are, or what we did, there's some links up in the old recruitment post there. Read those.
Anyway, no harm in asking. Any other questions, feel free.

I'd like to note, that took place in Nanawa mines in 1.0 and that shit just got straight up removed in 2.0. It's totally canon that Misericorde blew it up.

Both true statements.

You gents have caught my interest, at the very least. I plan on reading over those two short stories in full over dinner, and would be happy to have a chat about the group in general, either in game or through Skype. Looking to slowly get back into some creative writing and see how much farther I can push Riken's bizarre adventures, while I keep pressing through HW content. Cheers mates.
