    I get what you mean with the first bit here. I've been opposed quite readily for picking up on English word choice in other scenes, where JP FR or DE script turn what I thought was an amazing read into a nothing-burger(though apparently sometimes this makes people realize other cool things from the surrounding context).

    I don't get this sentence though. Are you saying you can't nail down your assertion? I mean, that's how it reads since I'm going with the angle of what's presented in the game(and doubt the other language scripts can do much to reverse that). I've said that Zodiark supporters are the majority of Amaurotine society. You said we can't be sure of that, even though it's given to us in triplicate in game. Once by Hythlodaeus, once by Emet-selch, and once by Venat's holo record. We could say Hythlodaeus and Emet-selch are the same source, so of course they agree. Despite that bias, Venat, the dissenter's side, also agrees. So what's the hang up?

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
