Disappointed in one Endwalker Aspect [SPOILERS]

[Rulakir]

And because people were already given to liking Emet-Selch and Elidibus from Shadowbringers, and they really wanted people to like Venat, actually having a scene pitting them against each other wasn't feasible. So instead of showing the actual sundering, which would either paint one side worse than the other or at least leave both very morally ambiguous, they just show Venat versus thirteen strawmen.

I hadn't thought of that, but you're right. Given Emet's popularity if they had visually pitted them against each other it would not have worked well. It barely did with the direction they decided to go.

Also I should resist, but ... ideology motivated by return to a glorious past has ... very bad echoes to certain movements.

Please point me to who would not choose to have the world of 2019 back unless they have their head so far up their own backside of the opposing ideology.
