    That otherworldly beings should first grace us with their presence is a sign. Indeed, they understand that we─the Global Community─are possessed of the wisdom and compassion needed to guide this star back to the path of righteousness!
    Yet the Freedom Fighters dare to undermine us, inviting chaos to disrupt the order we labored so hard to build. They have forgotten the history of this star and its once myriad nations. The wars waged, the countless lives lost...

    They must to be brought to heel, the world united under a single standard, no matter the cost.
    However, about the Eas.

    During the post-Hermes encounter cutscene:

    And then during the explanations ofthe Eas about the end of their world.

    As such, in order to avoid causing undue distress, we will refrain from explicitly stating how much time you have remaining.
    Apparently, the same Final Days event befell them when they were still "alive". Despair has existed for a long time on Etheirys, but it stopped manifesting blasphemies since Zodiark was summoned.
    I can't remember if it's during Venat's cutscene with the other where we expplain everything, or in Radz-at-Han, but someone mentioned that the influence that triggered this cataclysm was coming from outside : we know it to be Meteion.

    Ergo, Meteion has met this race, then at some point the Final Days happened, and she was able to recreate them at a point in time after this cataclysm occured. So it must have had happened during her time here. While they were already disillusioned and willing to die, she triggered it at least on this star, which means it could have happened on others.
    What if, then, she visited a star not yet decided to die, like Etheirys, but then triggered the Final Days here too? She'd take from that that despair and fear is also prevalent, and it would only increase her despaired world count.

    We don't have the full report, not even Hermes has it.

    Edit: Oh and if Deneb III is not their world, they at least witnessed it on a world they knew about, and still had living beings.

The one that went to war was because one faction deemed themselves superior because extraterrestrial life (Meteion) had visited them first instead of the other faction. The last one she caused to have an existential crisis with her questions.

    Sorry if my knowledge is lacking currently. I'm slowed down on my MSQ progress mostly because of personal life things and my habbit of completing all side quests before moving on to the next area.

    That aside, while yes Meteion did cause the Final days of certain worlds either by accident or intentional it was only a certain amount. A Unknown amount but not the majority from what we learned.

    We also lack crucial timeframe about when Meteion's sister started to conclude destorying all life was the only solution during their mission. We also can't be certain if she started destorying worlds intentionally before or after Meteion became corrupted by her sisters.

    However, for some unknown reason, I feel this topic maybe covered in Season 2 storyline. I don't know why but the thought about the Warrior of Despair comes to my mind which is a concept SE introduced in a game they closed down a year ago called Final Fantasy Mobius.

    While yes Yoshi-p said season 2 story is going to be unrelated to the Zodiark vs Hydaelyn conflict since it ends in 6.0, he also mentioned there is something in 6.0 MSQ that will play a vital role in Season 2 we have to a keep a eye out for.

    What that is remains currently unknown since he wants us to guess it but my best guess is Dynamis and the actions Meteion caused by destroying other stars in her corrupt state or a star that had already been destroyed before Meteion's sister arrived maybe involved in some way.

    Either way we should be getting a picture of what to expect once we enter 6.1 since that is the beginning of Season 2.

    We gotten way off topic anyways so let us end this discussion here for this post.
