I was also disappointed to learn they put so little thought into the finer details of the lore. Half of the responses to the questions were to come up with your own theory.

Memories from the final days passed from Emet to Zenos as you would pass DNA? (Yay more calvinball, memories edition!)
I couldn't believe that either.

Venat consciously deciding to not sunder Emet, Lahabrea and Elidibus? But the rejoinings... the calamities... and the mass murder of the people on the Source and the shards... Did she really LET them do all that?
I didn't think Venat could be painted to be any worse, but here we are. Confirmation that her outreach was meaningless, she always intended to sunder everyone. Confirmation that she purposely spared Emet and did her best to maintain the WoL's timeline, which would include all the rejoinings (and thus I feel I can say that my theory of her non-intervention on the First because that was part of 'the plan' is substantiated).

Yoshi-P also compared her to Hermes, something we've been saying all along as well. At the end of the day, she was just another Ancient (ironically with the same lack of respect for life that people criticize every other Ancient for) who abused their power because they could. I can't even say I'm unhappy because at least Yoshi-P admits it (as well as being aware that some people view her as a villain, which I will also take as confirmation that the Japanese audience had the same issues we did). It's just a shame that the narrative depicts her as some kind of 'goddess of goodness'.
