    And something else that bothers me is the nonsense in the final area. Something something emotions controlling the place. I can get how talking their way into an irredeemably hopeless simulacrum can reveal it to be Meteion but how winning that moral battle ends up with the scions being deconstructed (they win... to lose anyway?) and then turning into a bridge? I get the part that being reduced to pure dynamis could make it possible for them to manipulate that space but it's all so... nebulous and unclear... yet they seem to be super clear on knowing how the process works... am I the only one who doesn't get what the hell is going on and what they're doing? And am I supposed to enjoy this nonsense I'm not understanding as the end to this entire saga? And you know what the most insulting part is? Each time the way forward seemed to be something so simple that I can't help but feel like there could have been another way that didn't require such "sacrifice".

    And lol Zenos. At times it looked like he could have been an interesting villain but he turned out to be just a power level monster whom even admits EXPLICITLY that he has no good reason to be the way he is and that having a reason wouldn't have changed the outcome. Which is short for "we couldn't be bothered to write a compelling backstory for him but you don't need one anyway, trust us."

    And there's also the primals. After being such a big problem since the beginning of the game they suddenly tell you "lol they've been summoning them the wrong way all this time, there was a proper way". In 2 lines of dialog. Almost like a footnote.
