The Ancients still deserved better, after everything

You really don't understand and I don't want to waste any more of my energy arguing with you. Hydaelyn didn't sunder the world for glory and all that stuff. She tried talking to the people and they refused to listen even when the world was being destroyed around them. She tried to rally them to fight back, prove that fear and despair would not win them over and that their will to live was absolute, but they were all too eager to sacrifice themselves to Zodiark and have him fix everything for them. Who's to say that before the Final Days struck that they would've listened to her? She had to prove everything and she had nothing. They were programmed to believe that there was an accident that destroyed Meteion and wiped everyones' memories. Venat may have been able to show them the truth through her gift but would they have really wanted to listen? They weren't so willing to listen to her before even with us at her side and who is to say that the time between our presence on Elpis and the Final Days wasn't a matter of a few days barely giving Venat enough time to convince them that this wasn't just something she invented? And who is to say that once she did prove she was speaking the truth that the first thing they wouldn't have done would've been to summon Zodiark right away? Then the whole thing would've just gone around in circles with Venat telling them they need to not rely on a primal to solve all their problems and then having to become Hydaelyn to prevent more lives being sacrificed and the inevitable doom that would follow several thousand years later when Zodiark's powers would start to weaken.
