[Spoilers] I’m irrevocably Unimpressed

I mean I see no problem with people finding the bad guys interesting or like them more than the good guys, but what I dont understand is when people try to spin it as if these villians are suddenly good and any other good character is suddenly evil and needs to be killed because they are not perfect..like what you want but accept that these are the evil ones.

I found Emet to be an interesting well written character. In one part I could understand him, because loss of your loved ones is horrible and at least he seemingly gave us a chance..but seeing how he is tempered to Zodiark and his mission was to start civiliations that should bring calamities, I wonder if he was ever truly free of any bias.

In the end I just see his and the ascians actions as wrong. Dont forget that even when the souls were still complete and the planet whole, did they talk about mass sacrifice of the new lifes. The lifes that other ancient ones sacrified themselves for. They are not only ready to kill billions of lifeforms which probably included lots of sentient life too, but are trampeling on the wishes of those that made the sacrifice at the start. Their race (what was left of it) could have easily started again. They could have rebuilt their cities and in a far away in the future they could have had their new utopia. Yet instead of honoring the sacrifice of the death and look forward, they tried to recreate the past no matter the cost. And it were Ancient ones that went against the Ascians. It were Ancient ones that created Hydaelyn in an act to defend the lifes that their kin has sacrificed themselves for. So it was a part of their race that decided that our lifes should continue to live on. The ascians are in that matter going against so many wishes of their own people and over the bodies of billions. So why should they win? Why should these 13 Ascian have the right to decide what will happen, when another part of their race decided that it was fine on how it was? How many of those that had sacrificed themselves to create a future for the rest would be utterly disgusted by what the Ascians are doing?

Well said. Personally, I could never defend the actions of the Ascians (though it seems like some have taken it that way, and I apologize for any misconceptions) but Emet gave people some insight as to why were doing what they were doing. It was nice being able to understand their rationale, and I found it interesting that I could sympathize with the villain on multiple levels while still being unable to defend him. The end goal simply couldn't be allowed to happen, and so it turned into an "us vs them" scenario. Could there have been a better way? Who knows. But Emet forced out hand.
