Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

[KizuyaKatogami]

Two points:

"Sundered beings are unnatural and therefore bad (or worse than unsundered beings)" is fallacious reasoning, specifically an appeal to nature. Just because sundered beings are "unnatural" doesn't mean their existence is "bad" or "worse" than unsundered beings; several times the "lesser" beings of the sundered worlds have proven themselves capable where the unsundered failed. Further taken into a wider context this argument essentially condemns everything "unnatural," up to including Zodiark and the laws he wove to save the world.

Playing the "no headcanon" card means you can't argue that if the Ascians were simply allowed to see their plan to completion the world would go back to the utopian glory days of Amaurot. Nobody knows whether or not this would be the case.

Continue, if you please.

Could you explain in what ways, the sundered proved themselves capable where the unsundered failed?

Natural old age death which is a good thing.

Btw, my "natural" response was in regards to this post, which claims the sundered dying of an earlier age is natural and "good." Which, is completely false. It's not natural in the game's setting as the world naturally wasn't split, it was complete.I was responding to them in regards to this so idk why you directed that at me and not them.

We cared about Alpha.

Which means we are capable of caring about beings technically "lesser" than us, which Emet-Selch says is not possible for Unsundered like him.

They also couldn't have bad thoughts or they would literally think themselves to death.
