Dear SquareEnix/Natsuko Ishikawa - About Zenos in Endwalker *MAJOR MSQ SPOILERS*!

[HyoMinPark]

That part was never made clear, no. If the writers simply say "He cannot feel empathy or affection" that isn't a proper explanation, that is just a statement. The explanation would be why he can't feel that, backstory, details, reasons, etc. We are told/shown some things about Zenos, that he is this or that, or can do this or that, but we aren't given the reasons as to why. Some people are more than fine with just this much, they don't care to know more. Other people, like me, would like proper explanations and details.

And explanations can be given without reviving him for the third time to harass us endlessly. I’d prefer NEW stories and NEW villains—not the same one being rehashed for a third time. That’s just lazy writing.

You aren’t seeming to consider that, for several people I’ve read commentaries on the ending from, his entire argument of being our foil does not sit with the backstory that others have given their characters. My character does not see him as a foil or a mirror—merely an annoyance. And I wish I could have been given the choice to not fight him, and just leave him behind.
