It could be a cultural thing, and maybe I'm just being dramatic. But I can't shake the feeling of being an awful person in the final zone. Years of voicing my disdain for the infantilization of Emet as though he wasn't a terrible person only to have my WoL turn around and gleefully indulge in all the nice things Living Memory had right before we shut it all down and kill everyone is just kind of, I don't know, fucked up?

Maybe I'm wrong in my view, maybe I'm missing something, but like, we didn't even try. No brainstorming how to give these people the chance to continue living their happy lives? No asking Cahciua "Does everyone else want to die, too?" Nothing? I thought the whole point of Endwalker is that despite the pain and suffering in the world, joy and happiness exist too, and that's worth living for. Why does the happiness of the Endless not count? They don't fall under the umbrella of what we consider people? Is that it?

Again, I might be missing some crucial detail regarding this zone, but I just can't stand this final stretch of story. I'm watching the cutscenes because I want to at least hope they alleviate my concerns somehow, but if it doesn't, I think Dawntrail is curtains for me and this game. Clearly it isn't written in a way I can find satisfying anymore.
