The tension was there, the sense of dread was there, but too much of a good thing rolled over into being a threat that didn’t make sense to beat. By comparison, as anti-climactic as it was, at least we nipped the Final Days in the bud before it became a threat so grave that it’d require Catalyst-level nonsense to actually deal with.

And while it was still nonsense in its own way, Dynamis was nowhere near as nonsense as the Catalyst (both the object and the character).
