Endwalker Main Scenario Commentary & Feedback

About the last zone, the post MSQ dungeon and the side quests there

So I have finally finished all the side quests and done the two new LVL90 dungeons. And I am completely confused...

So in one dungeon we stopped the production of more weapons and after that we know plan to start a cafe in the last zone...

This is just something that I dont understand. Arent all of those beings in the last zone reconstructions of death people that Meteion met? Why do we fear the reproduction of more weapons if those robots are not even real or alive? Why would we built a cafe there?

Also the side quests made it feel like those are not just reconstructions but souls..yet Ysthola also mentioned in the main story that we fell for this act and that we should remember that they are not real.

Can someone explain this to me? @_@

About the role quest (Dancer)

I loved this one. Not only do we at least see Hien again but his actions with Yotsuyu do have consequences. I always could not believe how easily the people of Doma seemingly accepted that Tsuyu was able to run around after all Yotsuyu has done to the people. Seeing that they did harbor some very bad feelings towards their own king for that was great because you cant just get rid of all these negative feelings that fast.

Still I loved his idea at the end and cried some tears. The battle was awesome too and I loved the part Gosetsu played.

I cant help though to feel even worse when they pray for the souls to find rest...the WoL knows that there is nothing left...how much must that hurt?

About reaper

I just started that job and it just feels strange story wise. So we totally just made a contract with a voidsend and bascially collect souls to use as attacks...I know that we already did the souls part with the relic quests (which I also did not like) but we are going around using souls as batteries while we are also shocked that nothing is left of ones soul after turning into a beast...

I dont know if they explain it a bit more later but I just headcanon it now that we are only using some left overs of the souls and not the whole thing..otherwise we are just bascially destroying other peoples and animals chances at being reborn...

A few thoughts on that dungeon.

Its my understanding that Meteion was gathering souls there as a source for her dynamis and when we arrive its Thancred's will bending the dynamis to create everything there. The question becomes, how accurate, how thorough, was everything recreated? Ysthola warns us that these are effectively illusions, souls with no aether, but that doesn't make them less real; get in a fight with one and it will hurt you. By a similar token, we have the soul of Sir, and possibly a great many of the race, but do we have all of them? The Omicrons spanned multiple worlds and while they are sentient, are all machines on their world sentient? Are their factories sentient? Its shown during the MSQ that things were created well enough to mimic electricity and wireless communication. My interpretation was that regardless if the soul of Sigma was there, we were sending a communication to somewhere else to change what the factories were doing on some far away planet. If we hadn't, then eventually we'd have a horde of drone missiles coming towards Etheirys.

As for the cafe...the lopporits didn't get the memo that these things aren't real so they're treating them like a new race they've met. And its probably a set up for the beast tribe quests later.
