I don't think I've ever actually seen someone say "the lore is wrong and I am changing it" to justify a character's existence. If you could source a single post on this forum (or any other) where this occurs, that would be great.
I can't do that because we're not supposed to point out anyone specifically. Click around on the wiki pages, though, and odds are you'll find someone with an eyebrow-raising background rather than not.
Quote:And you know what all these things have in common? Someone can look at any of these things and argue that canon does not support their existence.
Criminal organizations? "How has this not been wiped out and taken over by the Alacran or Syndicate? Why have the Rogues not murdered these people? Not believable."
Miqo'te clans? "Nowhere in lore is [specific clan function] clearly stated as existing. Not believable."
National minorities? "I have not seen any or many of this race as part of this nation. Not believable."
You're getting really close to that "Prove to me that we don't all hatch out of eggs" with this line of reasoning.
Quote:Third-party fighting tournaments happening on Ul'dahn soil? "So you're telling me that Ul'dah is just going to let someone rip off one of its biggest moneymakers without retaliation? Not believable."
You'd have a point, if the Grindstone was profitable in any way. Spoilers: It isn't.
