Yeah, they basically put Ersatz Aerys Targaryen in command more or less just because they wanted it done.
They're vile, abusive and controlling - and the only reason they never get called on their behavior is because of some idiotic forced adherence to them in the story itself. I mean, give us a story where the Gods AND the Daemons get wiped.
We talkin' about FFXV here? Because...yeaaaaaaaaaah. Though, apparently, the novel they released recently basically went into what would've been Episodes Noctis, Lunafreya, and Aranea. Turns out that Bahamut is the massive cunt behind everything and the reason most of the gods aren't doing much of shit is because they had to get together to stop him from going all Frieza and blowing up the planet. Cunty McGodface decided to use the Starscourge to power up his Kamehameha for the next attempt...only to get ground into powder by the combined forced of Noctis, a resurrected Luna (I think Shiva did that...?), Aranea, and fuckmothering Ardyn. The gods die off because killing Bahamut shattered the crystal thingie and Ardyn dies once the Starscourge is gone because it isn't keeping him alive, anymore. Then, Noctis et al commemorate him as the true founder (possibly kicking out any mention of Mr. "Light Everyone On Fire" Somnus) and all's well that ends well.
...FUCK, I wish Squeenix had finished the other DLCs.
