Endwalker's message (spoilers!)

[Berteaux_Braumegain]

Yep. Also a sad tale of an abusive mom trying to claim what’s “best” for her children when in reality she tore them apart and inflicted suffering on them.

I don't know how you got this take when the final stretch of The Dead Ends is devoted to how the Amaurotine people would have ended up if they'd had their way with Zodiark.

"There was a time when we believed in our legacy, thought ourselves marking a worthy path our successors might follow. Efforts rendered futile when we discovered the keys to paradise and immortality. As individuals we struggled to know what was right, yet in today's perfect unity there is naught left to question. We are infinity constricted by the finite, but no more - Ra-la shall grant us the mercy of annihilation."

Heck, the whole theme of Endwalker is to not continually seek the comfort of the past instead of living in the present/looking to the future.
