A question to Square on Zephirin (SPOILERS)

[Montgraves]

I seem to recall vowing to carve Zephirin's heart out of his chest for what he did to Haurchefant. I do not consider his defeat by proxy at the Singularity Reactor an acceptable resolution. I don't break my promises. Don't make a liar out of me, Square!

I demand satisfaction! Satisfaction, indeed!

(And no, I'm not kidding. If I could, I'd shot-put this game straight into Mortal Kombat territory with what I'd do to that smug bastard.)

[Atlaworks]

Yeah I really want to shoot him in the face too. Can we Algus him?

You know, bring him back from the dead just because he's so reviled that killing him again is cathartic?

[Exodus-E]

Kind of related, but speaking of satisfaction...I have mixed feelings on Thordan VII robbing me of the chance to finally finish off Lahabrea.

On the one hand, it's about time that bastard got what he deserved, but on the other hand...come on.
After antagonizing us for so long, it was *I* who had to give him the "coup-de-graçe", NOT the arch-bishop-turned-primal.

If it weren't for Igeyorhm trying to escape first, I would've definitely thrown that Aethecyte at him.

Ah well...on-topic, I agree: death by proxy wasn't exactly satisfying.

10:1 he isnt finished off. He was absorbed into Nidhogg's eye, which is now in possession of Nidhogg

Eh, not necessarily - Thordan's comments when

he slashes Lahabrea with Ascalon suggest the complete opposite, that Thordan consumed Lahabrea's soul as aether to sustain himself, much like Leviathan did to that transcended sahagin elder back in Through the Maelstrom - he even commented that an Ascian's soul is just aether:

King Thordan: "Your contempt for man has proven your undoing Ascian. As my first act as god-king, I do hereby sentence you to die."
Lahabrea: "What?!"
(Thordan slashes Lahabrea with one stroke and destroys him)
Lahabrea: "Aaaaaaargggh!!!!"
(Lahabrea dissipates into his dark aether and coalesces around the Eye within the blade's hilt before disappearing, not the usual votex style warp out effect when Ascians teleport away, but instead he just... fades away)
Thordan: "Gods feed upon aether. It matters not what form that aether takes. Ascian souls are no exception. With this power, I shall put an end to a thousand years of conflict."
Thordan: "Be they sown by Ascian, dragon or Primal, wheresoever the seeds of chaos threaten to quicken, I shall excise them with my divine blade and bring order to the world."

Of course after Lahabrea's demise, you see his aether coalasce around the Eye within Ascalon's hilt, so I don't know, he indeed might have been absorbed into Nidhogg and not consumed as a tasty aetheric snack by Thordan, but I hope that is not the case, as I'm tired of Lahabrea and his inane scheming and really do hope this is finally the end of the bastard.

You'll probably get your chance when fighting a certain ascian dragon dragoon.

[Ayuhra]

I agree with this. I wanted to punch him in his smug face BEFORE the Vault.

I'll give SE credit here. They made the Heaven's Ward truly hate-worthy characters.

It took me longer than I'd like to admit to catch the pun in their name.

[Dualblade]

I recall making some very, VERY big promises that I probably shouldn't repeat in (somewhat) polite company. That said I will be somewhat satisfied if the Hard Mode version allows us to actually beat all of them before the big attack.

[Greven]

Why not adding to the extreme mode cutscenes where you--oh, I think k it's be a bit splatter.
