The barrier wasn’t failing prior to the sundering but it was known to be failing leading up to the events of the game, ignoring that zodiark was going to break free after about 1-2 more rejoining the barrier wouldn’t have lasted 5 more rejoinings anyway

And while I appreciate the video if this isn’t explained clearly in the game itself I more consider that a failure on the games part

I’ll fully admit I’m wrong for arguing from a false premise but im also going from my interpretation of the game itself, I shouldn’t need a lore video to correct common misconceptions about the game because it’s a failure on the game that they are even there
