Zodiark: Good or evil? thoughts

[KizuyaKatogami]

So, Salvation. By that you mean "preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss", correct? By doing, exactly, what?

And when it was all over, after the Great Sacrifice, the remainder of the people were just ... going to ask, politely, for their money back?

Pffffft.

Did you play ShB? I don’t mean this in a mean way i just don’t want to spoil things for you. But they explain the very things you’re talking about in the base expansion and in the post patches as well as the short stories.

I've finished the storyline through the current patch, yes. I also realize that the viewpoints of both Elidibus and Emet Selk are not particularly reliable, especially in light of the fact that Zodiark has been without a heart, and it unclear whether Elidibus left before or after the Sundering.

To HiraishinNoJutsu's point: Sacrificing "newly minted lives" after the Final Days are over is an extremely dubious thing to do for beings who are as Moral and Righteous and Upstanding as the Ancients appear to think themselves. Then again, Star Trek has come across plenty of gods and godlings with the same deficient moral compass, so why not?

"We didn't know what the outcome would be, but when it was finished we had no use for the lives created by Zodiark in the process of our Salvation, so we were going to try turning them in for the deposit." is a pathetic, but typical, excuse for godlings.
