It kind of annoys me how SE won't commit to killing a character. This is an issue in most MMORPGs but yeah. He was good in Stormblood as a reminder that even with our gifts we were still lacking, we overcame that power gap and beat him. That should've been it but nope they had to literally pull a Sylvanas and rez Zenos after he took his own life.

SE is really bad in this area. Y'shtola, Thancred, Minfillia. Just gonna call it now and in Endwalker Papalymo comes out and Fing Zettaflares Zenos in his face.
