That was the quote. It was just a linguistic choice on the writers' end, it wasn't the moment of sundering, and I don't think that's where she decided to sunder the world either.



I can't actually remember that many examples of characters dying outside of antagonists that wasn't undone later on. For that you have... 2, 5 (best scene in the series, don't @ me), 7, arguably 15? It was utter bullshit in that last case though, as Noctis deserved better, and ambiguously canon supplements like the novel muddy the water on just what happened or what should've happened. I never played 8 or 13 so I don't have the faintest idea what happens there (i know lightning returns undoes it all though), and fuck 10-2 for undoing one of the most amazing parts of 10's ending. No main character dies in any other mainline FF game, and there are rarely ever lasting consequences either.

People who can be inferred to die offscreen shortly after the game ends or based on your own choices (6 and 9) don't count.

Either way, it's hardly a recurring trend in the series to kill off characters or give them lasting consequences.
2,4,5,7,10(still counts as it was an entire game after that it got undone, even then Auron still “died”),12,15,type0. Even in some where no one was killed off, 6 destroyed the base world and left it in ruin, 9 had numerous countries completely blown up, 13 had the entire world and then some completely destroyed where only a select few souls actually made it out alive.
