So now we’re just back to the ancients didn’t suffer enough? The ancients literally suffered through the final days and were able to survive through it. Their final days was also immensely worse than the sundered final days were…so they clearly suffered more overall. Also, outside of the crystal braves incident which idk if you’d even count that, how exactly did Alphinaud suffer? Urianger was what….moenbryda? lol. So if it takes just losing one person and dealing with that to be able to combat Meteion i’d say the ancients would fare just fine.
