Most Hated XIV Character

[NekoMataMata]

That's the thing - that wasn't the true Zodiark - it was, basically, Fandaniel using the form as a puppet of sorts.

It's still problematic. Everything makes sense from a story perspective, but it doesn't feel satisfying.

Even with Meteion as the twist villain, Zodiark should've had the spotlight for a bit. Zodiark was the build up of a large portion of the series. EW should have been his arc, and then Meteion should've been the next expansion with the in between patch stories getting us to that point.

Oh I don't disagree - I would've preferred that Hydaelyn hadn't been a boss fight, personally. I'd have preferred her to have judged us by the outcome of a fight with the genuine Zodiark rather than fight us herself.
