I mean, it's a pretty good balance to fight against Zenos. :o That scene was pretty good though, and I was smiling the whole way through.

So much so, I even took screenshots of the encounter, though I'll have to view that scene again to get proper ones (and change the hairstyle/outfit due to clipping).

I never take interest into Zenos until Alisaie's speech in EW to him. Until that point, he's basically invisible.
The final duty fits just perfectly: no other burden to worry about, no worlds in need of saving, nothing to fight for. Just the WoL & Zenos. "That I cannot deny" was also my choice :D

Gosh! I was so in awe in my playthrough I did not took any screenshots! I hope NG+ will be implemented not long from now---I can't wait to replay from base ShB up to 6.0 with different glamour/job ;)

All of this aside, I really hope Zenos is our new after-expansion "tradition" now that we don't have any remaining unsundered to deliver monologues on the moon.

Check in with Ya Boy to see how far you've come each chapter.

He could also open a little weird booth at the gold saucer where 10mgp/fight me.

However, I still think that Meteion's story was very interesting and presented fascinating moral dilemmas so I'm not saying it shouldn't be there at all. I think it should still be there as it is, but maybe not linked to the Final Days or maybe not being the sole/main cause of the Final Days.

Oh this one I think I know! (though I'm just piecing things together for it) the sound preceeding the Final Days would coincide with Song of Oblivion being sung by Metion and her sisters. Though if anyone knows anything more concrete here, I'd be happy to hear.

That's not Lahabrea, unless you mean he's in Pandemonia. You can tell both by virtue of the voice actor and the fact that the character is wearing white (we've only seen two ancients that do) that this is Elidibus in the cutscene.

Yeah, I too missed a lot of screenshot worthy moments, but I had my finger on the prt sc key during a lot of this one. I usually hit it way too late and get a blurred shot or the next scene.

Honestly, there wasn't much they could do with Zodiark plot-wise as Elidibus removing himself from his being just left him an empty husk driven solely by the instinct he was summoned with. Anything he could have told us was likely spoken by Elidibus himself.

As far as the story overall goes, I loved it, though there were definitely some slow parts (The Mare Lamentorum portion especially). It kind of felt like the devs were trying to give us a breather between the emotionally heavy portions.

He is immoral, misguided, arrogant, etc, but at least to me, real evil is a character like Fandaniel who wants nothing but hurt others.

His intentions matter not. Hell he was wrong because the truth did come out and that place is fine. And no he wasn't with me or dead.. the only reason we had to fight him was because of his stance. If he had backed down and not turned him self into a literal primal that fight wouldn't have happened. It got turned into a fight to the death because he in his evil intentions provoked that fight. We're aren't going around killing willy nilly. He was going to do just that. Was he the most evil thing in the game.. no.. but again he was evil.

Nope, I'm happy with the ending, it's on par with Shadowbringers in my opinion :)

I do so far,at the moon bunny's.
The story started ok but as if we are not after 4.5 but before 4.4 but then was ok if fillery. Why at this point we do small chores and act like an adventurer I don't get. Then the second map was nice,the story there work and the dungeon was good. But then the war where we don't kill any one is pure retarded. You don't want to kill don't do a war.then we go to the moon and it where it drop the ball hard for me. We get to zodiark after all this year's and it's a joke. He was so weak I don't get it.then the moon bunny's was fun. Now I need to do the rest but it fells like a drag at this point. Not ShB or HW let's just say that. So far I give it 6/10. Not the most generic but not to good.

My issue is the supposedly end of the world only hit two zones, one of which is so desolate and hostile it probably didn't make a difference.
I quite thought that, once we boarded the ship, the sky of Old Sharlayan would turn red. But nothing, not even in other zones. The only casualties were Thavnair, which hit the hardest, and Garlemald, where I wonder if there even was much to hit.

I also was a bit disappointed, that the problem has been given once again a face. Been quite intrigued about, how they were going to wrap it up, that the world by itself is dying. With dynamis mentioned, I began to wonder if we were addressing now the population of the world directly for them to affect the degeneration. But no, here's another baddy. As someone being the initial cause, no problem, but stopping that person would be also the solution was poor. Having to combat fear itself was something I was looking forward to, not another Dr. Evil.

And the last zone: Seeing the old dragon world was great and I was wondering what else I was going to see of it. However it was only that small section reserved for the dragons. But wth was that 2nd zone. I almost fell asleep during that, and the omega-section wasn't that far from it.

Else: Everything was great! It's a pitty how the all-mighty Zodiark, the god of evil, has been chewed out that early, but I don't see how else it could've been handled.
Everything until that encounter I had the greatest fun and so glad SE went with a very dark atmosphere with that, which also reflects in the music. Soken once again outdid himself. After that, I believe Elpis gave me the biggest nerdgasm while I was giggling alongside Emet-Selch who was annoyed being spoken to every time - great fun!
