Does that sound like a righteous goddess to you, playername?" or "Don't worry, after the rejoinings - we will sacrifice some of the plants and animals of the world to bring back our brothers, and once again you will be afforded the protection and guidance we gave the star long ago."
And if chickens and other animals are enough and they truly care about sentient/sapient races why would Emet state that all the remaining inhabitants of the source would be offered as a sacrifice to Zodiark? You know those people that would have been whole thus "alive" again. Those people that included reborn Amaurotines and other Ancient souls. They would still be sacrificied. So if their plan was alway just normal animals why change towards the end? It only imo makes sense if the life that was supposed to die was also already more.
