Keep the Ascians, get rid of the empire. It feels like the Ascians JUST become a really cool villain and now the Hydaelyn/Zodiark arc is already ending? I'm not ready to let go.

Honestly, I'm still hoping Emet-Selch, Lahabrea, Elidibus, Mitros and Minfilia get reborn. Maybe on the first or a different shard where time runs faster, so we can meet them as adults and they're all untempered but still as powerful as Amaurotines and still want to rejoin the souls of the living but without death and destruction. I want Amaurotines back. I want to bring them back to life.

I know the game won't have us help the Ascians. Instead we are forced to murder them which makes me really hate the WoL, Alphinaud and Aliasae. It just feels like moral injury to murder Ascians. And the WoL is showing no remorse.
