I kind of like their 'darkness' is just their aesthetic/powers, and their motivations are something that's still noble. It means they actually bothered to keep the 'knight' part of Dark Knight genuine. All of the Batman references weren't just silly randomness! I can dig it.
Snip
I'm aware of most of this. I can't speak for others, of course, but I personally never was under the assumption that DRK was any of those misconceptions. (Mainly because I actually bothered to educate myself on its history.) My comment was more or less me being glad they didn't differentiate from that path to meet some petty player expectation, or something.
Ah, that makes sense. Just worried SE'd do like what they did with the FF7 characters in all the spinoffs and such (controversial statement!). I can understand that.
Hopefully this will help remind folks that Zeid (Thank you for the clarification on that, by the way, Warren!) is not the end-all-be-all to how Dark Knights act. Of course, there's nothing keeping the player from playing their DRK like that, as such things are their prerogative and not for me to question... but there's just nothing saying that's how they "have" to be played.
I suppose that spreads to the Au Ra (and everything else as well) - there's nothing really keeping you from playing any of them how you want. Some will just "fit" the lore better, and you can always work around that with a little creative bending and explanation.
