Tale of Emet [FF14 x Nier Reincarnation event story]

[KizuyaKatogami]

1) The Scions were all dead.

2) As the short story states, there plan involved killing themselves to, that's how they assumed it would work, at best

Literally weren't going to receive any benefits from doing so. Quite different then trying to staple other living being souls back onto yourself so you can maybe grow taller if you collect them all.

I’m not talking about it being purely the scions doing it but the protagonists period and it not being framed as a villainous thing. Their time travel antics could have resulted in the murder of billions if not trillions. Them dying as well doesn’t make it right lmao. It doesn’t matter if they would have received benefits or not. The sundered is framed as an incredibly bad thing. Trying to undo it and become what you’re meant to be shouldn’t be framed as villainous that just sounds like fetishizing suffering. It’s not about “growing taller.” By rejoining with all shards someone would become nigh-on immortal and become immune to illness. Imagine trying to just simplify it to “an increase in height” LOL

Edit: Oh yeah and how could i forget, Minfilia taking over little girls and having them fight sin eaters to the death over and over.... those poor children. Killed over and over.
