Zenos Appreciation Thread [Massive Spoilers]

[BillyKaplan]

The only one who truly understands that we exist, WE LIVE for battle

That depends on how you view your chara. We're soldiers in a war we never REALLY signed up for but that no one else can fight because of the Echo, and by default, your chara at least isn't the kind of jerk who'd sit back and let the world burn on their watch. I felt a much stronger kinship with Hien. But again, personal storytelling.
That said, that IS how he views the WoL, finding no other reason why anyone would fight as much. It would've been very interesting to see more than just your character being exposed to that stance. Have the Scions suddenly wonder if they're really allied with a hero, or are you only wearing that title because you kill the things they want you to kill instead of, well, them. But with Zenos gone, I don't think they'd go that much into it. Hell, even choosing the option of accepting him was lackluster imo. I kind of get why - you have to accept him in order to condemn him, as that is not the same as rejection. But different people would choose that expecting different things, they had to kind of brush it aside.

how did he eat a primal again? "

That artificial Echo they have going on. Not unlike how Ysayle 'tamed' Shiva but using Shinryu's body as host rather than the other way around
