Looking back at this Yoshi P statement(story spoilers)

[Theodric]

The whole point of the original post about being upset that nothing happened to the main characters and people being upset about fake-out deaths but it's 100% OK and expected if it's Emet.

I believe the point being raised is that there's a big difference between someone like Haurchefant coming back to life and a character intimately familiar with the workings of the underworld coming back.

It's a lot like how a necromancer might be fought and killed in their mortal form in a game and die...but then later come back as a lich. For many, such a trajectory isn't a huge stretch.
