Well, we can keep going back and forth about this to no avail. I could point out the ethics of Venat being presented with the opportunity for a 'do over' and still choosing to go with genocide. My main interest in the NieR cutscenes was I was not aware the sundering was as bad as it was, so that was new information to me and managed to paint Venat in an even worse light which I didn't think was possible.

Not that it's particularly relevant to the conversation, but I also appreciated learning more about the "trio" even if it was only that they routinely reveled until dawn.
