*Spoilers* Anyone feel joining Emet would have been better

Like, it's baffling to me that someone can even make a statement like this unironically. Obviously writers shouldn't uncritically capitulate to any negative feedback, and should also consider positive responses to their work. But I can't think of an example where refusing to engage with it at all hasn't ended in a complete mess.

And how do you want them to engage with it? They believe that the story they wrote was great. This is what they wanted to write. They could say that a part of the playerbase does not like it but what exactly would that change? None of us have a amount of numbers on who liked it and who didnt. Heck I would say that overall I have seen way more positive reaction to it but thats just my view and not a fact.

So I am not sure what is missing? They go out of their ways in interviews to answers some questions people have about the story. Do you want them to go into this lore threads and post about their view? And what if that view does not fit with what you want? Does this engagement makes it better? After all Yoshida did state that the Ancients could probably end up like the people of The Plenty and yet that was not a much welcomed information.

People can and should post their opinions about the story of a game. But I doubt that we should ever expect that our feedback should change something like that because this could easily spiral into a huge mess where nobody is truly satisfied.

Okay? You're not Venat, Venat is from a race of nigh omnipotent god-people who believe thier race have the right and responsibility to shape the future of thier world. Like Yoshi-P said, she's "very much an ancient".

What you would do or think hardly matters, since we're talking about whether or not Venat believes she was right.

Not only that but also we have absolutely no idea what she tried before the final days came the first time. When we fight her as Hydaelyn she afterwards stated that the stories of our adventures kept her going even after all the failures she had. These could of course be the failure of stopping a rejoining but it could also mean that many other plans were crushed before she became Hydealyn.
