I want to ask something (SPOILERS FOR EW MSQ)

This cutscene takes place when Venat is still Venat. Her Hydaelyn-tier Sundering would be an order of magnitude more powerful than her sundering as Venat.

I believe this scene is only meant to show the moment where she begins to show opposition.

Shouldn't the skies still have been back to normal, though? Or are you saying this was her beginning her opposition at the initial summoning of Zodiark?

Yeah, she's clearly not upgraded yet. Venat is Venat.

I was more questioning the timeline. Hydalen was summoned after Zodiark, we know. And Zodiark did temporarily forstall the Final Days, so my point was we shouldn't still be seeing the sky as red if Zodiark had been summoned already at the time of the cutscene.

zodiark did forestall the first attempt at the final days, I think what we see, with hyth saying goodbye to emet to offer himself, was the 2nd and final attempt, which succeeded in a sense due to venat sundering the world

that's how I understood it, at least

The only question I have is what the "sound" which preceded the final days was. If it was answered, then I must have missed it. I'm guessing it was Meteion's telepathic "song," although I'm not sure if it was explicitly stated anywhere.

I think this is touched upon in the post MSQ cutscene
