I actually liked one dimensional Zenos whose only goal was to fight and kill the strongest enemies while caring little to nothing for those around him. I found that motivation strangely... honest for lack of a better term. There were no deeper plans or motivations, no plans to recreate the word, distort the balance. No he wanted us to get stronger and kill us because he saw us as a powerful opponent.

The end of launch Stormblood shouldn’t have been Shinryu, it should have been a 1v1 duel with Zenos where we beat him and he ends his own life having found fulfillment in an opponent he cannot beat. That’s as far as his story should have gone in my opinion.
