It screams incredibly rushed action to get rid of a major character because we don’t know what else to do. Like the fact he’s been built up since 1.0 just to be killed off in the span of 10 minutes while we have to sit through hours of venat and hydaelyn preaching is incredibly unbalanced.And yes Elidibus could be in Pandaemonium but at that point its like why bother. They shafted him in favor of Venat and Emet, gave Emet basically his entire role in the story so he serves little purpose. It's hwy i hate that they just handed the story over to Ishikawa because she just shafted characters that have been built up numerous expansions just so her personal favorites can shine, and it shows heavily in the story.
Zodiark's mere existence halts The Final Days. We literally could not have them without him being destroyed. Elidibus btw, is the Heart of Zodiark. Meaning what Elidibus wants is what Zodiark wants. Thus getting more information about Elidibus gives us more info on Zodiark.
