What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[MikkoAkure]

Yeah, that ONE TRUE GOD nonsense literally happened ONE FRICKIN' TIME in the height of ARR foolishness in a single damn cutscene. Not exactly damning evidence as it is, and like others have said none of the moral nuance surrounding the Ascians and Ancients existed back then.

It happened multiple times in multiple cutscenes. There’s a video series on YouTube with all of the Ascian cutscenes in the game that I reference every now and then and they do a lot of that in ARR.

In all honesty, I'll admit my info was slightly inaccurate but frankly that was hardly the point. The important part is all these fools thinking their a bunch of tyrants who make decisions for the entire populace with no checks or balances and there is plentiful evidence to suggest this is not the case. People just decide to ignore it in favor of their headcanons that unilaterally prove Venat morally upstanding without flaw.

I think the idea and execution of the Convocation themselves is fine minus a few eccentric members, Venat and Azem included. The Convocation works perfectly with their society and I have no problems with that at all.

My original point was that I question whether their judgement is completely clear after being tempered and have reservations about a post-Summoning Ancient society. After Zodiark, the leaders of Amaurot now serve a god and I don’t know how that would affect their society and culture as a whole.

I REALLY wish we get a Tales from the Dawn entry that gives us insight in the period of time between Zodiark being summoned the first time and the Sundering because all we got was a brief, condensed version of events.
