I think it's a mixture of both, since money and politics go hand-in-hand with each other. I would go so far to say that politics 'is' business, at least for the people of Ul'dah.

Again.
We don't even know if it's canon that Godbert was there or not since there's two versions of the cutscene. |

Wat.
If it's a thing that happened in a raid I likely wouldn't know it. |

Yea, that's pretty much what he's referring to. The Allagan were into some shiiii....
It's a bit sad that the whole "future world tech is naughty bad!" trope is being swung about here, but at the same time the advances that have been made in Magitek has been exclusively military in nature. If things move into the medical field, we could see some interesting things. ...or as a result see some patently ridiculous character ideas. |

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Garlemald's capital turned out to be some high tech future city powered by Magitech. There is some canon lore that says Magitech has made it's way into the civilian field a little. Would actually be a nice change though to see that.

Eorzea would certainly benefit from better technology. I do hope we see more of it in the future - it'd be great to be able to ride a train!

You never said, but watch the cutscene. The Syndicate's excuse is that they can't afford to house another set of refugees. It'd be too much of a monetary burden on them and that even the Sultanate's coffers were not infinite. Which brings me back to the comic I posted, cuz that excuse is pretty bullshit. Godbert's building a damn theme park out of pocket, and he's only the sixth richest one sitting at that table.

He's recognized as being a Syndicate member by NPCs a couple times when he shows up outside the MSQ. Also we have this Journal text from the quest "Manderville Men" for further proof: Quote:Lady Durilda is dissatisfied with the vase until Godbert unexpectedly arrives and reveals that he was the one who reconstructed it. This fact, coupled with the knowledge that he, a member of the Syndicate, is also Hildibrand's father, is enough to convince the noblewoman to grant the inspector permission to assist with Briardien's investigation. |

The reason behind that is due to how they (most likely) want to tell the story in 2.2. Hildibrand is surprised that his father is now on the Syndicate and at the same time they want you (audience) to be as well.
The one and only flag to trigger the change in cutscene is the hildibrand 2.2 completion. They want the reveal to be done in the Hildibrand questline, not 2.2 main story. |

Edit: My god at work my reading skills drop like a rock.
He was just wearing robes cause SE didn't want to "spoil" him before 2.2 Hildibrand was done. |
