Who knew the 6.15 Omega Quests… (Spoilers)

[Alleo]

Likewise, I will point out that the EN version of the story is the only one that mentions souls. This is the problem with dissecting lore when localizers add or omit things from the original text. As I recall, this was the only 'evidence' the new life had souls. It would seem that even the mighty Zodiark was incapable of creating them.

Yes in the short story in german there is no mention of souls but Hermes still tells us in the quests that they subdivide beings between living beings and magical beings. Living beings have souls that the body gets if its fitting for a soul while magcial beings are soulless. Nature itselfs seemingly creates these souls, while Ancients cant.

It makes imo perfectly sense that a lot of these new lifes would have souls since we know that a lot of the beings the ancients created still exist on our planet today. This could only happen if they got reborn since most of the world was destroyed by the final days.

Its also a bit funny that in the english version of the short story Emet talks about the islanders while in german he calls them "mortals that will hide in primitive shelters".
So should we now believe the english version or is the german the right one and gives us the first hint that not every person was a Ancient with creation power?

Honestly for me the mortal part even makes sense since if every single person on the planet had creation power why was Azem even needed? Why would first Venat and then our Azem travel around the world to help, sometimes even needing someone like Emet as support? Why would the people of the island not simply use their aether to solve the problem itself?

Maybe Amaurot really was just the place with the strongest ancients and a lot of other people living on the planet where much weaker. (Which would make it even more horrifiying that they somehow created so many huge dangerous beasts on Elpis..)

(Just a bit of a rambling at the end)
