Revelations from Patch 5.2

[Alleo]

On that point:

"We must ask ourselves a simple question: are we prepared to pursue our chosen course, even should it mean suffering the eternal condemnation of our brethren? If so, I see no further reason to demur"

Wouldn't that suggest that they were very much aware of the consequences of summoning and considered the sundering as a highly likely, if not inevitable, consequence that they were willing to accept? For such a statement to then be followed up by the admittance that they were making the monumental decision even though very few agreed with it, doesn't show them in a favourable light right now.

Well we have to see more about this to truly know their plan. I could remember it wrong but in the german version it sound like they believed that Zodiark was too powerful and wanted to create something to keep him in check. This of course could still mean that they have wanted to split him but it could also be an unintended side effect.

Maybe they saw that the the ascians got tempered and feared what would happen. And maybe this was already after the ascians created the plans to sacrifice future life. In that way they are in a favourable light at least to those future people that will live.

But I am curious how it will end.

About Eden

Finally finished the raid and I am still not really liking Gaia. It seems a bit forced how great everything is between her and Ryne and I just shake my head at Ryne taking over Shiva..not only was it strange what she wore but I really did not like seeing Rynes face on Shiva..it just somehow did not fit. But I also did not understand the reason for her to do it..it did not sound right..and can somebody explain to me why ice would bring back plants?

I wonder how they will fill another four fights with what we have left..I guess on of them will be Gaia again, losing her fight to the voice?

Anyway I found the quest afterward bad..NPCs already saying goodbye even though there is no solution right now. They should have done this later when they are truly gone and just show us the goodbye with an echo scene.

Ruby weapon

The fight was nice but I dont really care much for Gaius or his "children" right now. We never got the chance to meet the one that died and the others are mostly unknown too. I do hope that the green one does not die, he seems to be the only one that is not fully behind it..and that also fears that they might not make it out alive.

Also that death threat at the end..does that mean that Gaius is not completely on his own free will here? (Which would make any kind of redemption arc even worse) At least this made the elezen much more interesting.

I also have a hard time feeling for Gaius. Its sad to lose people but many more would have died through his daughters hand. And seeing how we all lost a lot of Scions through his order..yeah not feeling it right now.
