    OK first trying to decipher your broken English so I may be missing a few points you are trying to make. But...

    Evil is in the eye of the beholder. Zodiarc required a sacrifice to come into existence, but those sacrifices were willing, they were not using captives or prisoners of war or those they deemed as lesser. Everything, including ourselves irl, need to sacrifice life some form to exist. Even in game we are killing beastmen and others without hesitation. We kill wildlife by the thousands and instead of trying to help those that are tempered, we just kill them to maintain order. Our first instinct is to kill primals and we have no qualms about doing the same to those that summon them. We also strike down Garleans without hesitation, sparing just the few who cut off all ties from friends and family to be one of us. All of this just to exist. From a different perspective even the WoL and the Scions could be seen as a vastly evil force in the world.

    The Ascians went extinct, they are trying to bring the souls of the sundered together after they were split against their will by another entity who took it upon itself to do what it felt was best and if the game was presented from the pov of who we know of as ascians, they would be the heroes. You may perceive Zodiarc and the ascians as evil, but that doesn't mean they are, just that you think they are.

    Cutting the argument down to "he required a sacrifice to be alive and therefore is evil" is very simplistic. Esp when its countered with "she committed genocide of all living creatures and the planet itself, but its cool". And you can say the ascians are committing genocide as well, and from our perspective they are, but from theirs they are not, they are undoing the genocide already done but merging all that once was. It is true we would cease to exist in our current form, but its like putting a broken mirror back together. The pieces may be a mirror themselves, but only one part of a whole. So to them and from their perspective, what they are doing is vastly on the side of "good".

    But like I said its all relative, so its more of an everyone sucks here situation.

    Someone presents a different pov that does not align with mine and dislikes a character I like: must be trolls. Cause of course, who wants to have a discussion anyway.
