There's something to be said about making your own future when your world's been conditioned to think otherwise. I definitely didn't know better for a while. Not until things started getting turned upside down. But while I empathize with the other extreme more than a lot of people on Auldrant, I couldn't agree with the absolute destruction that his ideals would bring about. How did Anise put it... That he hated the Score so much, he was shackled by it more than anyone else?

Just because there's a future written into the planet itself doesn't make it the only future. You can live outside the boundaries of fate without having to completely dismantle life.
You just have to actually live, and keep on living.

You've sort of stumbled right into what kind of world I'm designing. I'm not ready to make a world where people are bound by their destiny with zero escape, but rather a world that's fair and people can live their own lives. It's disappointing to know that there're multiple worlds this kind of thing's happening, but I'd make that stop.
Maybe a little of both. Out of anybody, I guess you could say Piety and I are polar opposites. [Bemused.] I don't necessarily agree with the ideas, and they don't agree with my methods...it's just another reason this game exists.
Funny how that works though, isn't it? The goals are pretty in-line, but nobody can agree on a solid set of rules.

That's ultimately why I want to win.

I suppose their ideas might seem a little lukewarm to you, though, or yours extreme to them.
