So, about Zenos... (SPOILERS)

[Eriane_Elis]

Is he dead again? Because after the ending of Endwalker, I personally don't think his dead. Just body? Sure! But the guy doesn't need his body to still be alive. Ge's practically an Ascian with his Resonant. So, unless he completely burnt all his aether, including the bit that sustains his life force in are final fight, I'm doubting he's dead and I have a feeling he'll return in an expansion or two through dynamism since he was left in that weird plane of it.

Thoughts?

Yoshi P made it clear that he is dead. In fact Hydaelin is dead-dead. Like super dead. So dead that she doesn't even exist anymore other than the world she created. Her soul was used in her trial against you. She's not coming back and neither is Zenos. If Zenos comes back he will be a baby with no memories or special abilities from his old self, he'll be reborn anew like anyone else. The story of Zenos is over and now we are transitioning to a whole new story because that was their plan -- to end this story because they were tired of trying to fix 1.0/ARR.

No he didn't.

With Hydaelyn, Emet, Zodiark, and Hythlodaeus he was very clear.

With Zenos he didn't give a straight answer. He does that when he's trying not to spoil something.

I think he was very clear in his statement.
He said "Zenos stopped breathing, you can see his dead body, right?".
He never said he is dead though
To me it is a very clear way of saying "he is not dead".

Not to mention we've seen him not breathing before. There was also the mention of how he's in a dimension where our laws don't apply. It read as very tongue-in-cheek and is the sort of thing I know I say to my husband when I'm trying not to lie but also not spoil something. Especially with how clear he was with other deaths that were asked about. He also straight told us he couldn't explain why Zenos became a reaper. I have multiple theories on how they could do things, but we'll have to wait and see.
