    This is why your take is so pretentious and annoying. You are not the characters and you didn't write the story.

    The "why" is clearly answered. You are ignoring the intentions because it is inconvenient for your argument.
    So, I wonder then if you yourself played the game. As the characters are asking why they have to do it while the objective is Sphene and the answer there is a dismissive “just do it” which they for some reason accept.
    But given your tone - don’t bother to answer, you are clearly not fit to have a discussion so enjoy my ignore list.

    I have. I can read too.

    Cahciua: I want you to erase us. Erase the Endless.

    Cahciua: Being alive, you are the only ones who can do this. And you won't have a better opportunity while Sphene is busy preparing...

    Wuk: It's wrong to sacrifice others to sustain the Endless. This I firmly believe. But talking to you now, you seem as real as of us. If you need an answer right away, I donf know if I can give it. Is there a reason to act so soon?

    Cahciua: Because as you've just said, It's wrong to sacrifice others to sustain us. Remember, we need life force. Other forms of aether do not cut it.

    Erenville: but does it need to be done now? Can't we stop Sphene and then do this?

    Cahciua: It is precisely in order to stop Sphene that it must be done now. Her own memories are stored within the Meso Terminal. Once we are gone, Sphene will have no reason to plunder other worlds of aether.


    It's all in the game.

    Sphene not acknowledging is just bad writing and doesn't alter their intentions or points whatsoever.

    This is also just bad writing. It doesn't change the fact the intentions behind turning off the terminals are sound and occurred prior to Sphene finishing her calculations (which was the goal).

    THe reason we "had to" or "should" was that it would slow down the calculations of the Meso Terminal/Sphene *might* give up doing it when there's no one to protect.

    But what's funny is that, what would the Interdimensional Fusion have achieved? It would have fused Living Memory to the top of Everkeep like it was supposed to be... which I guess would have given her direct control of Everkeep's Robot army, but it wasn't even an instant win for her. She still would have had to fight us, and would have had to fight us in the real world, not just in the computer generated portions of the Meso Terminal like we did.

    DT ending has some interesting bits, but it's a big piss colored mess.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
