i think for me, the entire Zodiark sequence is the biggest let down of the whole expansion. I really felt that they could have done so much more with Zodiark than what we got. Even if it facilitated a trip to SHB to retrieve elidibus' soul. It smacks to me of a writer who fell in love with a new character and then shuffled things to make them be more important. I didnt like how they used the scions to constantly Justify Venats actions and make her Holier than thou, not because i think she is evil, but rather that she should occupy the morally grey camp as should Zodiark. In essence both were mirror images of each other with aligned intentions but difffernt pathways.

If im honest, id have been happy for the conclusion to be both remained but were in balance, over their disappearance entirely. Or for both to reconcile and finally work together... this is but a pipe dream that i dont expect many if any to aggree with though.
