That and when we get told she took over the roll of the heart/will of the star I went Oh well I wonder what the name is then. Someone on here even questioned me what I meant. At the time I didn't have the energy to get into the whole well if she took over being the will of the star from Zodiark then obviously the planet can't be named that if she came after him and they both at one point didn't exist. So when we finally got the name I was like oh! okay. At least Etheris is better than the protagonist's name in XVI. Yes, I'm still very much Clive, really!?! Like Really? As the in game it makes sense for some people to know or understand and thus use it.

Not as funny as finding out that Bleep Blop or w/e they said actually is the name of the Omnicron's star in their tongue. Cause Omega says their home planet's name a few times while we're riding on Alpha's back. Just I don't think anyone thought that was anything else but like your typical machine noise/static type thing. At least to me it's funny.
In line with all that, post EW, I thought… why wasn’t the name of the planet Hydaelyn..? Like, why would even Venat need a new name for herself once she assumed “primal form”? I had always thought she just assumed the name of the planet in the vein of “I am become Gaia”. And if she was to become the will of Ethyris itself, why not just call herself Ethyris?

I get Zodiark as it is an original creation where someone was put into it to be the heart..but Venat..?

….my thoughts are that the devs just wanted everything related to Hyd and Zod over and done with entirely.
