Who knew the 6.15 Omega Quests… (Spoilers)

They always could look for new planets, and dying to start over is not that different from our "gathering small pieces of happiness only to loose em again and start over"... And the sharks... id rather get that as an joke of something gets trendy and ppl suddenly flood him with it. Thats something very human to do lol...

Venat broke with an tradition, sure they ask her when she wanna go, but theyre not "do it soon or we do it!" so i dont really see the problem there - consider they dont seem to have a natural death and we have 0 Idea how old she actually was.

But the whole sharks thing seemed to have been something that has been happening for some time now. Just look at the Fenrir. We get told what the original thought behind its creation was. Even when we tour Emet's biased memory of Amaurot we get told the create something cause it's the new fad thing was happening up to the Final Days. When it comes off as the only outlet people have to express themselves is through their creations how long will it take before others get to thinking like Hermes and go what's the point? The ones who seemed to be innovative are those few who were seen as strange as they were creating things and experimenting on things without the use of creation magic. We don't know how long between our time in Elpis and the Final Days were, but they were already showing signs of staleness.

Philosophically, you can interpret this to mean that all things are transient and fleeting, which fits in with our own experience of life as humans. And the real question being asked is philosophical, not literal: Why live, when all things surely perish? Why learn, when all knowledge is eventually lost? And the resolution to this conflict is in Y'shtola's response. It's about the journey. Even if we're all eventually destined to 'lose', that doesn't stop us from having a ton of fun along the way. Nihilism is not a sustainable philosophical stance. It's just a temporary place, a bus stop for lost souls.

All well and good as a philosophical musing, but not exactly convincing to the Ea considering that they would literally live to see the universe turn into a cold void of nothingness.

they were already showing signs of staleness.

We're playing a game called Final Fantasy 14.
