Launch Trailer Hype Thread

Thankfully, the game itself seems to be taking Zenos's observations for what they are: the psychopathic ravings of a monster in human skin.
.

I am not talking about "Natural selection" bull **** kind of stuff. I am saying that Zenos is probably the most self aware of what people will do for the sake of things only.

We always get the question from NPCs and to other NPCs "Why are you doing this?" and expecting always some complex backstory to build sympathy or reasoning behind the actions but sometimes the reason is a simple "just for the sake of it."

Some people enjoy making others suffer for the sake of making others suffer while others make others happy for the sake of making others happy. It is like certain NPCs we meet who chosen to save the life of others for the sake of saving a life. Then there is certain other NPCs we know that have killed hundreds for the sake of it such as certain NPC in 3.5 MSQ that unleash Garlean Drones to kill all the Ala Mhigo resistance members.

Others choose to live there life the way they want without disturbing others for that sake alone.

Zenos statement of "only man has the wisdom and clearity to embrace violence for its own sake" is more to "man's" abiltiy to be self aware of their own actions to act out just for the sake of it.

It is like when a person has to choose to save a person's life or choose to save himself instead. No matter the choice they make their choice at the core is for their own sake either to save a life and feel the satisfaction that they feel they did the right thing or to save himself for self preservation.

Yet it was also paired with the line "therein lies hope". While the paired "therein lies freedom" might imply something like finding peace in enslavement, "therein lies hope" almost seems to imply waiting for the opportune moment to strike back against your oppressors.

The dialogue probably reflects on what Yotsuyu went through when Doma was under Orthard old government. We know in the lore she does all the horrible things to people of Orthard because of a strong hatred she had for them under the old government rule before the Garlean Empire took over which has been stated to be quite bad before the Garlean Empire took over.
