Are <5.0 main villain> fanboys also supportive of <6.1-6.5 main villain>? *SPOILERS*

[Alleluia]

I have problems with Emet I don't have with Golbez, like Emet's choices with his family in Garlemald and the corruption of an innocent baby with a sineater, among others. Golbez at least changed course. Then again Golbez had the luxury to do so and still accomplish his goal. Emet's goal couldn't be accomplished any other way (besides time travel, and that was unlikely). Also, has Golbez actually killed anyone? I don't think so. He's gone to war on the 13th, but no one has actually died, cus they can't. They just rez or get eaten/merged. All I think Golbez has actually done is conquer, so far. He hasn't necessarily treated people well, particularly Azdaja. And he wasn't a protective ruler, like Zero with her safe haven where people didn't eat each other involuntarily.* But he never actually got as bad as an ascian before he changed course.

I'd call myself an Emet fan, despite having the problems with him. I also like Golbez. But they aren't the same type of character, imo. If anything, Golbez is a Gaius with better motives. Or another Ardbert I can help.

Speaking of Ardbert, it just occurred to me. If we're successful in restoring the 13th... that means Golbez/Durante (and possibly Zero)will die at the end, yeah? *That's* gonna be a fun expac. >_>

He and the others could have gone through the gate Azdaja came on in through five thousand years ago.

His goal wasn't just for him and a couple others to die, his goal was to fix it for everyone on the planet. So Going through Xande's portal wouldn't have accomplished it. Not to mention, I think the only voidsent that could go through it were the ones the Cloud of Darkness was in charge of. Given what we now know of how the 13th works, the portal likely opened right in the middle of her territory and Golbez wouldn't have had access in the short time it was open, anyway.
