When the Scions need help defending Ishgard, they ask Merlwyb and suddenly she's got better things to do.
Yeah... defending Limsa Lominsa. Her stated first priority is to Limsa, then the Alliance, then to others. Guess who falls under others... the Scions.
So I'm still not seeing where her speech doesn't apply? She probably would've asked the Company of Heroes if they were still around or just went in and sent a 1000 Storm soldiers to their death if the Scions had said "lol no." She still would've got the job done to protect Limsa. But when you have an organization dedicated to Primal killing... it makes sense to call the organization dedicated to Primal killing... right? She valued the lives of a 1000 Storm soldiers over the lives of 2 Scions... I don't see where this isn't putting Limsa first?
I mean sure, it seems pretty underhanded. You help me but I won't help you unless it benefits me. But that's how the city-states have been. Have always been. You guys gotta remember that this alliance is only 5 years old, and only recently really started trusting each other... one year ago. Their own interests have always come first.
Hell, the youngest of all of the Eorzean city-states is Gridania at 500 years old, and NONE of these city-states even traded with one another until 100 years ago. These people have a 400-900 year history of warring with each other... They aren't going to just abandon that and be buddy-buddy in a 5 year period. As for Merlwyb, she's the daughter of one of the greatest Pirate Kings to have ever terrorized the Five Seas. Her first mate is Mistbeard. She's had a fleet of ships under her command since she was a little girl. I think I can forgive her for being a bit of a self-serving hard ass. Pirate Queen is in her blood after all.
