I'm guessing with Ul'dah the Sultanate and the GC aren't governed the same with Limsa and Gridania? Or am I mixing city-state leaders/Grand Company Leaders into the same bracket when they're different? Raubahn is leader of the Immortal Flames but the Sultana is in charge of Ul'dah

Bravo Square Bravo.So much of this. I think it's actually kind of hilarious-in-a-good-way that a Japanese company (a country that is often stereotyped, for a reason, as xenophobic and full of misogyny) is leading the way in female and non-white characters in positions of power. Hell it's so great to see it at all, and it really says something about where humans as a whole are going, not just in video games but in every facet of life.
Square Enix, keep doing that. It's awesome.
