6.0 Story Speculations

Besides, I've never got Hydaelyn summoning as a mean to stop the Final Days from coming, but to counter Zodiark. It's even said by Emet-Selch, when he explains that since She was summoned to stop Him, She had the power to "enervate Her foe". I understand that She used that power on Him, which split Zodiark in 14, and I suppose that since He was the Will of the Star, totally twined with the star at that point, it had the consequences of also splitting the world in Source and Reflections.

The evidence that supports Hydaelyn being summoned to stop the final days comes from the recordings at the end of the Anamnesis Anyder dungeon where Venat and followers discuss that Hydaelyn needs to be summoned to be a permanent solution to the coming of The Final Days as all Zodiark has done is just extend the time period before this comes to pass. Venat and company are presented as individuals who are out of options and I feel if there is something wrong with Hydaelyn, it is this forced desperation that encumbered her summoners.

Meaning, if we continue down the path of Zodiark as a blind power, he would resist Hydaelyn at all costs forcing her to amp up her actions to get balance and stop the Final Days from coming again. Granted it was less nefarious on the part of Hydaelyn, but she was just doing what she thought was right.
