its just a plot device. if you play xiv you realize that the crystals in xvi are just like primals. the vague "they drain the planet maaan" is just an excuse to get the player to care, as xvi never actually makes any points or statements on environmentalism

if yoshida really thought that when he would've made a very jrpg jrpg to prove those journos wrong, instead he capitulated to all of their demands. xvi is the exact type of game shitty game journos in 2010 wanted. its just 13 years too late
