As Emet-Selch, he was to serve the people of Amaurot. If it is to be read more in the context of Hades than white mage job itself, the "servitude" becomes even more apparent. It also links to the "servitude" meaning, as the white mages are clearly servants of the elementals. While this aspect was absent for the player character, it is very much at the core of being a white mage.
The other white mages are also the Hearers, chosen for their ability to hear the voices of elementals. This brought to my mind the XIV-specific WHM lore and association with Gridania, the Padjals and the elementals. Kelesis is in Cicero explicitly a passion of delight, but defined oddly specifically as " delight soothing the soul by charm of the sense of hearing". I ran out of space so I will have to discuss the rest in further comments. Odune has rather little description, only further specified to be the burdensome distress.
If the passions are Hades', it isn't hard to realize eleos is an underlying current of his whole experience after the sundering. Cicero's definition of eleos as a passion was " distress from the wretchedness of another in undeserved suffering". Clementia was also the goddess invoked by the common man who needed protection from the ruler's absolute might the very nature of the Fourteenth's rebellion against the Zodiark and the Convocation. This resonates pretty strongly with themes of dark knight, and should be emphasized especially since it was chosen as the flagship job of this expansion, the way dragoon was for Heavensward. His Roman counterpart, Clementia, was the goddess of clemency, forgiveness, redemption and salvation, as well as the favoured virtue of one Julius Caesar. "Pity" is one way to translate his/her name, but s/he was worshiped as personification of mercy and compassion.
I have not fought Hades enough to say it with certainty, but the others mentioned a sudden turn his dialogue took as a phase change, thumosis overtaking.Įleos is where it starts getting really interesting. While I have no experience with WAR, what little I've seen of skill names and effects imply it to be a tank straddling the line between DnD's warrior and barbarian, with lore and atmosphere evoking a wilder, more beastly kind of a fighter. Thumosis is a sudden, unexpected anger that springs out of nowhere. Thus comes eulabeia, and misos towards the enemies. Zodiark did not make Hades love him more than he loved Amaurot, he merely implanted the notion that the only way to save Amaurot is through him. And what of Hades? I've spent some time trying to figure out the tempering process inherent to ancient primals, and the interpretation I came to was that it was subtler, nudging already existing traits and desires towards the primal rather than completely replacing them. Misos is the revenge served cold, the patient anger and hate. Wait for a good moment to interrupt, use your cooldowns, hold on to make the best of what you have. King translated it as "enmity", and while I think the word being also used for the aggro system any PLD worth their salt would have to deal with, is a coincidence it is noteworthy how accurate the definition of misos is with the PLD experience. (Source: ) Misos, on the other hand, is described as "anger waiting for an opportunity". I lean towards the Biblical use more, as paladin skill and trait names reference religion. She is mentioned once as "most serviceable of gods" by Euripides. King as in but I also made use of other ones, which I will try to list when necessaryĮulabeia, while used in the Bible as piety and reverence towards God, was also the name of a minor Greek goddess associated with caution and discretion. My main source was Cicero's description of passions translated by J. This is not meant to challenge your friends' work, but to expound upon them and offer additional ideas to interpret the names.

Upon seeing a few translations, I became compelled to compile a full list for my own purposes.
