You prefer Zenos with or without the Helmet

[RokkuEkkusu]

One year has passed since Stormblood was released. Stormblood covers and most promotional materials show Zenos with his helmet on. However, he has it off for most of the game.

That said, do you prefer seeing Zenos with or without the helmet?

I like Zenos in either, but I prefer it off.

[Doozer]

I prefer he keeps it on. The man needs to wash his dang hair and I don't want to see it until he does.

I perfer him dead

[Theodric]

I prefer his dad.

Beheaded mostly

Beheaded mostly

^ This.

The Warrior of Light should have been wiser than that to just assume he was dead and actually made sure of that (my headcanon Enki would have beheaded him with a simply a quick downward thrust of Curtana as he lay there... but alas..).

And I can even picture the line to go with it:

(Zenos has just apparently committed suicide as Raubahn rushes in)
Raubahn: "Where is he?"
Alphinaud: "He's dead. By his own hand."
Enki: (eyes narrowed) "Wait! We better check for a pulse though..."
(Draws Curtana and then thrusts down, decapitating him in one stroke)
Enki: "No pulse..."

Yes I know I kinda ripped off Pacific Rim with that...

You may not have needed to...

By the game’s script, at least, that’s more or less what he already did to himself. It seems poor directing that they actually included a shot of him lying there with his head visible and no apparent injuries, because what was implied up to that point had me envisaging something much more horrific. It should have been easy enough to frame and leave it to the player’s imagination.

In any case I definitely remember someone remarking (I think at the point we heard that he was supposedly alive again) that he couldn’t have survived those injuries because he’d almost beheaded himself. Which is prettymuch what I thought had happened in the first place.

I like the way these two think.

I prefer Zenos dead in a box by my (the WoL) hands

[NargaHuntress]

Without. I want to see his raw carnal emotions and hear his absolutely breath taking voice and watch his godly golden locks flow as he runs me through...
