I also don't understand why did they feel the need to revive him in the first place and drag this cardboard till the endwalker. He's so forced into us its not even funny. When I got to fight him in the end I literally rolled my eyes in an annoyance. There's literally no emotional connection to this character and there shouldn't be, yet here he is again because oh but you wanted to fight him?? I guess?? Right guys??
Regarding what OP said about a "redemption arc"... Are we playing the same game here? Am I missing something? I thought writers made it clear Zenos doesn't care about anything but WoL 1v1'ing him. He cannot feel empathy or affection or love, doesn't understand why people are fighting for these things and he'll never will because he's not supposed to. Zenos on a redemption journey is like Hydaelyn releasing Zodiark - it doesn't make sense.
If you never had Love in your Life, how could you know that there is more as just hate, boredom and other negative feelings. I thought that he would have liked it to go with us on Adventures. If you listen to him what he said in German and compare it to the English Version you will notice a big difference in all he said.
