So, about Zenos... (SPOILERS)

[Soge01]

He's dead and gone - he outright tells you before the battle he was fully intending on burning through his entire aether, life and soul to go head on with the WoL (the WoL does pretty much the same thing). He consumed it all, and by the end, had nothing left (when the WoL finally knocks him down).

Only the WoL is saved by a deus ex machina, leaving Zenos dead, reviled and unmourned on the edge of the universe. Good riddance to the crazy stalker and his stupid prettyboy hair.

Okay. If he's really dead this time then we should have got his cool scythe as a reward at least. I would never take it off my back for as long as I live.

But what about dynamis though? Even if he is truly dead, since he died in a place easily manipulated by emotion (dynamis), I still wonder if some part of himself will still survive and come back to the Source.

If anything, dynamis makes it more likely he's dead. Everyone who knows of him wants him dead, zenos himself wants to be dead, everything dynamis has to act on says zenos is dead.

The devs can do what they want but the only way zenos comes back is if the devs retcon things and say he's back for reasons. I don't think that will sit well with anyone.

It would cheapen his exit, and I would prefer for Zenos' contrast to remain intact. A lot of fiction out there have a tendency to fumble at the goal line, and totally poo on what was otherwise an intriguing and thought provoking story arc. Zenos is kind of the opposite in that nearly his entire arc was 'meh', yet he totally brought it around in the end. All the while remaining consistent with his character. Never wavering from the "My first friend... my enemy." feelings he has for the WoL.

I think it could be cool to see him in an echo-vision of some sort. Perhaps even giving us a glint of his early training; likely besting his masters. As an active character though; just no. Please. I don't say that because I dislike him. The exact opposite.
