I viewed the whole thing as a tragedy, but it was a tragedy from 12,000 years ago. It would be a stretch to expect the game to make us suddenly change course and stop the first Final Days and change our history considering that’s the world we know and play in, for a bunch of people who have been trying to kill us constantly just because they make us feel sad.

Our world and theirs can’t coexist and their world has already ended and the remnants are trying to kill us and destroy everything we know. Azem is long dead, we won’t suddenly become them with their personality and memories if everything got rejoined, same as everyone else who has a sundered soul. The Rejoining and Zodiark’s promise will only bring back those who were sacrificed to Zodiark already.

Emet-Selch isn’t innocent either, he destroyed 7 worlds completely, each time causing death and chaos on the Source as well. And in the end after we defeated him, he gave up and doomed the Ascian cause by bringing us back from the brink and allowing us to ghostbust Elidibus.
