This is the full dialogue.

Dialogue from the Final Fantasy XIV quest Frozen hope:

"Did you learn aught of how they came to be in such dire straits?

I see. I heard much of the same.

The military forces of Locus Amoenus were defeated in the wake of the Final Days. Desperate to survive, they naturally fled to Garlemald seeking sanctuary.

It was their hope the might of the Empire would allow them to reclaim the home they were forced to abandon... But the capital was already in ruin when they arrived.

Needless to say, the lands they have long believed to be the ancestral home of the Garlean people may remain forever lost to them.

Those unfamiliar with history would believe they have always resided in the bitter cold climes of northern Ilsabard, but that was only after the Corvosi invaded eight hundred years prior.
With the advent of magitek, I imagine it was all too easy for Emperor Solus to rally his people and take back what they believed to be rightfully theirs.

Yet history would tell us true─that the land they call Locus Amoenus has been known by other names, and served as home to myriad peoples.
Indeed, one need only look back to the Allagans' reign in the Third Astral Era to give the lie to Garlean claims of sovereignty.

Yet even had they such ancestral ties to Locus Amoenus, antecedence cannot justify their animosity to foreign peoples.
Animosity poorly veiled by delusions of justice, as has been the case for so many nations throughout history. Would that man had the sense and strength of will to break free from such chains of hatred."

Yeah okay we take those. Lighting in CC was kinda weird and made me look washed out, but that seems to just be the usual CC issues still persisting into a new game version, Somehow.
