So the occurrences of the final cutscenes have been bugging me. Here are my thoughts. Can you guys discuss and correct me as needed?
- We learn from Emet Selch that all the people who lived on the source were sundered into parts during the sundering. He looks down on everyone as not being whole and hence justifies their murder.
- I thought Emet Selch said people were split in half but is it more that people are split into 14 parts?
- We learn from one of Emet Selch\\'s illusions that Ardbert is part of who the WOL was pre-sundering. I believe it is said that he is your other half.
- Emet Selch sees you differently after you combine with Ardbert. He sees you as a pre-sundering person, your true self, and is afraid. This is what I thought.
- Is this that Ardbert, your other half has recombined with you and now you are whole and can stand toe to toe with Emet Selch?
- Alternatively, I have heard people say that the reason Emet Selch was afraid and what he really saw was that you were a shard of the 14th member of his council. Presumably the dissenting member that initiated the summoning of Hydaelyn. He did not previously recognize you until you combined with Ardbert and became more whole. Which do you think it is?
- When fighting Hades you seem to use Ardbert\\'s axe as a means to attack Hades and unleash the stored up light aether from the light wardens.
- After the fight Ardbert\\'s axe disintegrates.
- After the fight Y\\'shtola sees your aether as it once was. I was rather disappointed by this. Does this mean your combination with Ardbert was temporary and he is gone now? I feel like the confrontation with Elidibus would be more impactful if he saw you as Emet Selch did.
- At the end you are referred to as both the warrior of light as dark. I\\'m unsure if that\\'s just because of your role in the first or if that implies that you are more whole now.
Would appreciate everyone\\'s thoughts and corrections to my interpretations.
