Inconsistencies with the sundering (Spoilers)

[MikkoAkure]

I suppose that could be the case, but then the idea that Zodiark has the potential to be that powerful introduces an additional inconsistency. With that kind of difference in power where just 1/14th of Zodiark's aether is enough to stop meteion, the ancients (barring venat's personal moral opinion that people should suffer) could just summon zodiark, have him kill meteion because he's so much more powerful than meteion in this scenario, and then work on restoring etheirys. We already know from the game's cutscenes that "Dynamis is a far weaker form of energy, and is almost completely nullified by Aether in equal quantities." If just 1/14th of Zodiark's aether is enough to nullify meteion, we can assume that zodiark can kill meteion with an additional fraction of his aether, then use his remaining aether to restore the world. Of course these are just fan theories at this point, but the hypothetical scenario that Zodiark is indeed that aetherically powerful creates more possibilities that might be better alternatives to sundering the world.

It isn't that a ton of aether could blast Meteion away because it's that much more powerful than dynamis, it's that it and aether seemingly can't really interact with each other at all and it was all they could do to put up a space umbrella around the world. If all it took was a being more powerful, then Hydaelyn could've just gone out into space herself and killed Meteion. Or Emet-Selch, Hythlodeus, Venat, and Hermes could have used aether to capture her way earlier instead of playing a silly game of hide and seek.


And again, part of the reason of the Sundering was that Venat was completely opposed to the 3rd Sacrifice and she wanted to do away with Zodiark. It isn't just about making people less aetherically dense to fight Meteion. That was a bonus and she didn't even know what the outcome would be.

These are all great questions that are currently unanswered and we can only hope that square tries to patch these plot holes up. That reminds me that I have even more questions myself.

Can sundered ascians use dynamis? What about sundered primals? Both sundered ascians and sundered primals are less aetherically dense so theoretically they could wield dynamis as another power source. If anyone knew the answers to that feel free to say so here.

We don't know the process of mantling a Sundered soul to be an Ascian and if it greatly fortifies them with aether to the point that they're unable to deal with dynamis. The other problem is that of all of the Ascians, only Fandaniel even knew about dynamis and he just wanted to watch the universe burn.

Primals are beings of pure aether and only exist of aether so they can't do anything with dynamis.

To note, we are shown quite conclusively that the ancients could interact with Dynamis.

Ancients could make something that interacted with dynamis, like Meteion. They themselves can't do anything else with it and the two have been shown to be oil and water.
