I mean in the end the Final Days were a product of the Ancients themselves. Hermes did create the birds and sent them out to bring him an answer about life. And with that action he might have doomed who knows how many worlds because as far as I understood it was his creation that later turned into Endsinger because of all that despair. Having him create the "Final day boss" but keeping it soley on this planet would have felt better for me. His view on the way the Ancients threat other living lifeforms was compelling enough, it really did not need to be on such a wide scale.

That paragraph!

It's my own fault because I created my own (high) expectations and fan-fiction, but I was really hoping that in the end, the source of it all was something Jenova-like (hell, I even thought it would be called Jenova!), dormant in the core of the world a la Lovecraft. Also the whole "every world we met died so we got no answer to Hermes' question" kinda banalised the whole deal... treating Etheirys (spelling?) like just another world to the slaughter.
