    And I’m disputing ignoring that scene. If you wish to argue the specifics then do so, but that scene did occur and thus we must consider it in these discussions, especially when discussing the events it portrays.

    First, unless you wish to proffer a more accurate translations this is what it comes out as as far as I can see.

    I must nevertheless recognize in her a certain gift of matchmaker. it is not with our methods that a human being managed to set foot here
    Not as clear as your saying it is. Lots of symbolism laced in that. And second, once again what did Venat gain from Sundering her world? Why would her judgment, with Emet agreeing, be incorrect?

    I surely would’ve too, as would Venat. Unfortunately, circumstances made it impossible. Such is life.

    That quote is from before Ktisis. You don’t think her judgement may change once the full truth was laid bear? And many =/ all. The world would be divided, and as Venat says this would lead to their destruction.

    I fail to see how we don’t have a canon statement on what they would’ve done. The game beats you over the head with the message that they would’ve broken. Would you need Ishikawa to say it to confirm that fact?
