fate of emperor varis at the end

[Kokomi]

Zodiark's story ending with him being destroyed would be a rather bland conclusion as far as I'm concerned. I'd be happy if both Zodiark and Hydaelyn were put to the sword, though. Or at least forced to exist in equilibrium.

At least then they can actually do something with the 'balance' introduced to the story that has yet to amount to anything substantial.

Every time I get Praetorium in MSQ roulette I'm reminded of this plot point and how nothing has came of it so far. Laha and Elidibus have both justified their actions as maintaining the balance between Light and Dark, which doesn't exactly seem truthful considering how weak Hydaelyn has become and not to mention they are Ascians, the servants of the Dark.

The fact that this wasn't mentioned once in Shadowbringers by Emet makes me think that the writers changed their mind and decided to abandon the idea. If we defeat Zodiark, it may well end up being handwaved as Ascian lies.
