*Spoilers* Anyone feel joining Emet would have been better

What experiences? Roughly every 100 years max every individual's memories and experiences are completely reset upon death, at which point they reincarnate into a new, innocent being. And culturally there isn't any "experience" either - As was the sweeping point at the end of 5.0, everything fades with time. Everything that has happened now will be lost to history, forgotten as the mountains tumble to dust and the edifices of this age wear to nothing. Not to mention, how many people fell to despair in moments in Endwalker? Transformed into monstrosities almost instantly by hopelessness? Did they not learn the right lessons?

The experiences that are passed on the same way all human knowledge is? And once again, I’m not arguing everything is solved for all time. Just that humanity is now on a path they wouldn’t be if reliant on Zodiark.

I should think they would take significant comfort in the fact that the Final Days was merely the result of a rogue creation utilizing a powerful energy source rather than being a completely unknowable apocalypse event springing forth from nowhere and nothing. The latter of these circumstances is clearly more difficult to process than the former.

And that comfort will quickly be replaced with horror as they realize they are surrounded by a graveyard of civilizations who, despite doing what they thought was best, fell to ruin and despair. And that even if they do survive, ultimately Etheirys and everything on it will still be destined to die.

They had thousands of years, given the planet was being protected. And if Venat and her allies were working on it themselves it should have gone quite quickly. As to the second point, ask Venat given she chose to go with that plan even with that question in place.

Thousands of years maybe. And like I said, they had no interest in remembering the Final Days in any form, but you believe they’d be willing to suffer to achieve that goal?

That is that, yes. That being bad writing. Hell, it's so vague and contradictory you can hardly even claim that to be the case.

Why? It makes sense. Tempering being the natural consequence of creating an incredibly powerful primal doesn’t contradict anything.

Then don't tell everyone? Or hell, do so. It wasn't a panic that caused the Final Days, it was overwhelming space magic plowing through holes in the atmosphere.

Let’s lay this out. You can’t tell everyone, as they’ll panic. You can’t tell the Convocation, as they don’t keep secrets and Hermes reaction may doom the world. So who do you tell? Those you trust and can keep the secret.
