    I don't think Zenos is one dimensional.

    I think he works well as a foil to the WoL. They're the two strongest warriors of their age, going beyond the impossible, but one only reluctantly fights out of necessity, while the other fights for self exaltation. One doesn't dedicate all their time exclusively to fighting, doing other things like having fun with friends and crafting, while the other has devoted their entire life to the path of destruction.

    I don't want to see a tragic Zenos backstory. I like how he is a self made man, one who had a vision and dedicated his life towards attaining that vision. Through his own hard work, he has attained mastery. We already have too many villains in FFXIV with tragic backstories. If there is a Zenos prequel, I want to see him working hard to learn new techniques and overcoming foes, like in that short story in the Enclyopedia.

    It is my hope that when Zenos and the WoL duel again, that Zenos wins. It makes sense. Zenos simply has devoted more time in his life to becoming stronger than the WoL. The strength in the WoL is not in his martial power, but in his convictions and his friends, things that Zenos does not have. So ofcourse the WoL and 7 other friends will beat Zenos in a trial (hopefully this trial can be a trust with the Scions on the first time, like the Varis fight). And the WoL is also a crafter, a builder, which I would hope would be relevant in the true end goal of the story: fixing the Sound (which I hope isn't just another JRPG god monster we kill).
