Well...Hydaelyn required sacrifices as well so theres that, although i thought we had already crossed this bridge a long time ago and surmised the reason Zodiark needed so many sacrifices was because he required a vast amount of aether to perform his feats. Forming a giant aether dome last minute while the planet is decaying isnt exactly easy to do.I highly doubt sacrifices were their first option, merely a last resort Could you give a citation btw on hermes being the one behind Zodiark's creation btw? I dont remember seeing that, i always thought it was hinted Lahabrea did it what with the statues in akadaemia and him being the top master in creation magicks.

I only remember Hermes being credited as the one who discovered the method by which the Final days was targeting them. I don't remember the conception of Zodiark being solely attributed to him, though I'm probably misremembering.

Wellt hats what i thought i mean....they literally have the Zodiark statues in the Words of Lahabrea in Akadaemia and that combined with his supreme prowess for creation magicks, i just cant see Hermes being the one who did it. Especially because iirc it was stated in ShB Zodiark itself was already in the works pre final days.
