  • Venat, who hasn't had her memory wiped + still remembers you from being in Elpis, quite apparently doesn't lift a finger to learn about Dynamis herself or to mobilize the other ancients to end Meteion then and there, and instead chooses to turn herself into Hydaelyn, sunder the world and the inhabitants, thereby forcing them to live with and face despair and gambling that their resilience against despair might be enough to face Meteion one day

Really?
This is the best SQ could do in terms of story after ShB?
SOMEONE didn't actually pay attention to the story or they'd know that the ancients had TOO MUCH AETHER to be able to manipulate dynamis. Which is why she sundered everyone to begin with: Knowing that only by doing so, would man ever hope to interact or call upon dynamis in times of need.

If Zodiark wasn't killed, the Ascians would have won. He was weak, he was only partially reformed, and Fandaniel had a plan: To have Zodiark slain so that the Ascians would lose, and The Final Days would rain down upon Etheirys. Without Zodiark's death, you wouldn't have the (AWESOME) story that we have now.

Reading comprehension: It isn't for everyone.
