the immature side of me thought the thread title was gonna end at "your mom"

All that build-up, just to reveal Zodiark was essentially just a husk for Fandaniel to possess, just really wasn't a terribly satisfying "twist". I loved the Fandanial arc, don't get me wrong, but where Fandaniel and Ilidibus both had their chapters closed in a meaningful way, it just never felt like we got to really experience *Zodiark*, in the same way we got to experience Hydaelyn through Venat.

Yeah, I completely agree. The direction the writers took with Zodiark was a huge disappointment and I feel like there's a lot of missed potential there.

I still feel like they *could* still do something with Zodiark.

I quite like the idea of him being more of the "stern father" to contrast the "loving mother" than Hydaelyn represents. Similarly, where Light represents stagnation, maybe Zodiark's ambitions were more about "making us strong" to face future threats.

So maybe we meet some mysterious being who aids us in some capacity, only to reveal that he is actually the last remnants of Zodiark's spirit, tasking us to remain strong to defend our star. Something where we finally get closure to that whole saga.

I think I'd mentioned before, but I think it would be cool if the "Moon" were revamped slightly, that in place of the giant evil-looking chasm that was Zodiark's prison, maybe in bringing closure to both Zodiark and Hydaelyn, it is transformed into a small garden where both of their spirits are finally laid to rest.

My two cents, anyways.

Please, let the poor God stay dead, they've already beaten the Ancient horse to dead, let them stay dead for once. This obsession with wanting to rewrite the story is getting a bit sad. Let's move on and hope that DT is a completely new story (huffs the copium).

I mean, I agree that I'm ready to move onto new story territory. But it just feels like unfinished business with how Zodiark had kind of an unceremonious end.

I get the bit that Elidibus was the "heart" of Zodiark, so in a manner of speaking, it could be argued that he was "Zodiark" in terms of personality. But it never really felt like that.

I feel like just having a sense of finality, so we can *fully* invest in the new adventures to come, would be great.
