    While this is true we must remember that even tho SE is known for story, they also lean heavily on cliché. And while good the story is always very predictable and they are almost never ambiguous about alignments or anything particularly deep or thought provoking. So while there is little truly good or evil about divine beings when it comes to literary debate, this is also SE storytelling which while good, as I said, is also very lacking in any real depth. It is usually more like an angsty teen drama than anything.

    I hope that we're both proven wrong on this being the eventual (but not necessary) outcome. They have deviated from this formula in some of their games. I have a feeling we might see a reprisal of something like DQXI, without wanting to give too much away.

    There’s a page for each dungeon and a blurb for the final bosses. For Kuribu it says the statue is modeled after a transcendental being from another plane.

    There are a few more likey answers: cinema team not always being 100% accurate; representation of Light, etc; but it’s fun to think about seven months out
    That confirms a hunch I had, thanks!
