New Beast Quests go against the theme

More like the rule of '' yes, you may indulge on the memories of the past as much as you like, those memories are precious and wonderful, but no, you cannot genocide countless of civilizations just so you can have the past you deem superior back '' but okay.

It's a rather curious detail given that their race was laid low by an epidemic that from all appearances was not some run of the mill plague, given it seemed to be corrupting and infecting everything, even the environment around it.

Sounds like a corruption of aether. Either it was caused by negativity via the meteia, or perhaps there was something else there that caused the issue.

I think he meant the Scions with that. Since we did not just let them die at the end but summoned them back. But imo the game was never about that we dont try to save people but that we should accept it when its not possible to do so. Also the scions were not death at that time, they just lost their bodies. And we brought them back without sacrificing someone else for that.

But if we had not been able to do that, the WoL would have been stricken with grief, yet would have also moved on with their memories of them in their heart. Just like they did with every single person they have lost along the way. So yes we uphold the rule because the rule was never to just give up trying but that we should know when to let go.

Just like it was never the problem that a part of the Ancient sacrificed themselves to save the rest and their planet. No it was when they tried to use other unwilling participants that it got wrong.
