Do you believe:

1) Venat strolled through Amaurot during the Final Days and did nothing as she watched others being slaughtered in the streets?
2) That the Final Days were still occurring after the second sacrifice?
3) That Venat sundered the world before her battle with Zodiark and not as Hydaelyn?

If none of these things are accurate, then why would I believe her interaction with the Ancient strawmen is? There are reasons that cutscene is dismissed.

I hadn't even thought of this. The Social Darwinism messaging needed to be walked back, but in doing so Venat's actions become even further unjustifiable.

Good to know the rejoinings are no longer considered genocide!
