The majority of my comments have been directed toward the Black Shroud elementals in particular as they are the only elementals that seem particularly bent toward setting and enforcing policy.
Your argument earlier didn't seem to acknowledge it.

A big forest, sure. If elementals exist outside the Black Shroud, they haven't exhibited totalitarian tendencies that their exceptional Shroud brethren have. They haven't even exhibited any signs of sympathy or alliance to the Black Shroud elementals.
But props for doing so now.
Quote:My proposed hypothetical was more of a thought exercise than a proposition on what may occur in the near future. The gist of my point in voicing that particular line of thought is that the elementals have remained static while the mortals progress.
And I feel like by now it should go without saying, but "never" has proven to be a very dangerous word in Eorzea. Most of the characters we've seen who follow the mantra of "never" tend to have a poor record of survival.
The thing is, this is a cycle of destruction and rebirth, Umbral and Astral, that the Elementals have seen a number of times before. Granted, this time could be different. The Ascians certainly seem to think so. But still, I'm of the mind that we're due some real Greenwrath in the future. We got to see a little of it in 1.0, but I wouldn't be surprised if things continue to escalate in Eorzea to the point where the Ents will march the Elementals will have their fury upon them. And even in their diminished state, in the White Mage job quest, it took the MC, Raya-O-Senna, A-Ruhn-Senna, and the spirit of A-Towa-Cant to Quiet just the Guardian Tree.
