The missing mood in the existential horror of the last zone of the game (spoilers)

[Lersayil]

...snip...

I honestly think they just outright forgot the time dilation thing after they used it for the Zooral Ja time skip. Multiple people attest that from Alexandrias perspective it was only a few (4ish?) centuries since their cataclysm and the Eternal system coming online. Leaves place for possible fluctuations in the dilation rate, but still.

That aside, that would also open up a few more can of worms.

• At what point did someone live "enough" for them to have to step aside for those that haven't? Viera live for hundreds of years. Should they? Do we have the right to decide otherwise? How much should we be affected until we get that right?
• Wouldn't long lives be more valuable? If the Endless could lead infinite, happy, content lives, wouldn't their lives have infinitely more value over our fleeting existence?
• Do the Endless people know - and I mean informedly know - the price of their extended afterlife?
• Knowing the price, would they still choose to keep living? We know they don't have the choice, but we're not giving them one either.

This whole Endless situation brings up so many ocean deep issues and discussions, but the story just skims over most of them while wildly waving its hands like a coked-up Jedi master in an attempt to distract us from thinking about it.
