[ENDWALKER SPOILER!] On Zenos

[Elysidelphi]

I DONT WANT ZENOS TO COME BACK. Zenos should absolutely not come back. His pathetic thing if we can even call it a character arc is over. In all honesty the guy should have stayed dead in Stormblood because in Shadowbringers he did nothing but stay on his throne, kill his father Varis, and eventually met Fandaniel to reenact the Final Days. Everything in Endwalker has been Fandaniel's idea and plan. Zenos did nothing but watch lazily on his throne in the Tower of Babil doing absolutely nothing but think of the battle with him and WoL. Zenos does not even have a character arc/motivation. He is actually the worst character in this very game and certainly one of the worst villains Final Fantasy has ever had. Can you tell me anything memorable he has done in Endwalker? He did nothing actually. Our WoL and his body got swapped and still we emerged victorious and also shoulder tackled him to the ground and even smacked his voidsent avatar. You know what Zenos did? Nothing! Anima was a pathetic plot point... should have saved it for a trial with REAL mechanics and FFX music at that. What a letdown. Zenos did nothing but say hahaha give me all your rage. He did not even have the guts to show how monstrous he was by hurting the Scions. And then guess what? He pisses off until the end of the story where he uses the Scions in hopes of getting to you and after a long and tired battle with the Endsinger AKA the actual main threat... we are treated to a battle with Zenos which in my opinion happened because they had no idea for Zenos's character arc so they had to put it somewhere where it makes sense.

While the ending is hype because Zenos is dead and we got to punch his face out, I'm still not happy with the way Zenos came back. I think it was dumb and unearned even if we can make a argument that he is the perfect ally at the end of days against the Harbinger of despair since he has nothing but.... however, the only memorable thing Zenos has done in the last few years is insult the Endsinger by telling you "how is it still alive"

I dont know why so many people enjoy Zenos... I genuinely do not but please do not bring him back. His pathetic excuse of an arc is over and we won and he died at the edge of the universe and his body probably burnt/dissolved. DO NOT BRING HIM BACK. He is pathetic and did nothing of note the whole story. Do not make him a Scion and redeem him. Make way for more exciting adventures please.

TLDR: USELESS VILLAIN and should ABSOLUTELY NOT COME BACK.

There is something called "flat character arc". It's a thing. It serves some purposes. Maybe read up on that.

Even Exdeath is more interesting and that's not exactly a compliment.
