Emet-Selch

[Gula]

Wouldn't mind this but only so long as it's a choice. I don't mind people wanting something like this for their WoL/D but this wouldn't be for mine. Loved Emet and The Exarch but not enough to be paired with them in such a manner. I'm also hoping we get more of Emet through the echo or something. I was surprised the most by how things concluded with him, in the 5.0, when I initially thought we'd be having a blast with this guy until at least 5.3 or so.

While I get what you're saying, consider Arbert. While not in a relationship, he is a part of us. And Laimitt(Lamitt?) wanted that D so bad. Is that upsetting to you? Because it's literally the same logic. Our original self is not really us but something we once were with entirely different thoughts, appearance, memories, everything. The kid from the 14th is also a part of us. We, the WoL/D are not a child either nor did we share the same parents as said kid.

If Hades had a fling/thing/anything with who we used to be, it is not us personally. But as the player, you could accept or deny this as feelings carried over without diminishing that aspect.

One of my faves as well. There's something that has to be said about a villain that just drops right in and hangs out with the good guys, basically "So, where you guys off to today? Gonna go save some villages? Mind if I tag along?" The villains I'm used to aren't even present until they're actually attacking, or otherwise threatening. Nice of Squeenix to think outside the box.

We don't know that for certain - it's just an assumption people have made since they're now trying to pick who might be our other soul-shards, and Unukalhai has been waiting for further plot developments for two expansions now.


(Also, to be nitpicky, he's from the Thirteenth. There isn't a fourteenth, just thirteen and the Source.)

D'oh. Sorry I got my shards mixed up. Thanks for correcting me.

Just a huge THANK YOU and GOOD JOB in creating this character and his awesome history!

Would love to see this character make a reappearance! He was very relatable and wish he would have become a ally in the end!

Post/Reply/Comment if you agree!

What part was relatable? The genocide bit or the insane mad god worshipper?

Exactly this



They'll have to work overtime to make the next antagonist a fraction as entertaining as Emet-Selch was

Loss and loneliness. The same for Arbert. Both were in situations of being essentially alone until we came along. Emet would have had us at his side to get the world back and have true comrades again, and Arbert had someone to talk to. And I think anyone can relate to missing a friend.

Him being tired all the time.

Emet-Selch as an antagonist has set the bar quite high for future adversaries. It kinda pisses me off to have him ending his story arc at the end of 5.0 and now we're back to "I'm evil lmao" Zenos. I'm hoping we see more about the Ascians, specially both Lahabrea and Elidibus. He was a great character, with a soul, very well developed. So the current ranking is:

1) Emet-Selch.
2) Gaius.
3) Error 90002
4) Thordan
5) Nidhogg
107) Zenos

Him being tired all the time.

Yes... and snarky.

Or perhaps it's the: 'dedicating the rest of his life to doing what he feels to be best for his people, even thousands of years later, in the hope that he might one day see them again' bit that was omitted from your list?

You don't have to agree with a character to be able to sympathise and relate to them.
