So, about Zenos... (SPOILERS)

[TaleraRistain]

I think he was very clear in his statement.
He said "Zenos stopped breathing, you can see his dead body, right?".
He never said he is dead though
To me it is a very clear way of saying "he is not dead".

Not to mention we've seen him not breathing before. There was also the mention of how he's in a dimension where our laws don't apply. It read as very tongue-in-cheek and is the sort of thing I know I say to my husband when I'm trying not to lie but also not spoil something. Especially with how clear he was with other deaths that were asked about. He also straight told us he couldn't explain why Zenos became a reaper. I have multiple theories on how they could do things, but we'll have to wait and see.

Zenos having some sort of connection to the 13th and having us investigate it partially because of that would be interesting. Especially if his Avatar is running amok on it's own on the Source or it purposely leads us onto something regarding itself, its relationship to Zenos and hinting at his current status condition and whereabout, if he's still alive, and its connection to the 13th.

[StriderShinryu]

Zenos will be just like the hornbill in Shadowbringers. He'll just kinda be there, watching from the background, with no purpose or explanation.

So, basically no change to how he's been since he offed himself in SB then?

That was the one thing that disappointed me in Endwalker. We really didn't get to see much of him. Would have been nice to clash with him a few times while taking down the Towers popping up all over the Source, similar to how we would do throughout Stormblood. would have made the struggle to stop him and Fandaniel from destroying the world feel far more pressing than what we got.

Also, in Stormblood he was forced to be Legatus and overseer of both Othard and Ala Mhigo against his will. With no one to truly give him a challenge against us while doing a job he absolutely despises, can you blame the guy for just waiting around for us to finally get string enough to face him? xD

[Divinemights]

Zeros has fulfilled his goal, satisfied his goal, and served his role.
Let him rest in peace

[Aneshda]

Why should Zenos get a new Job, new Gear, new Name even, just to die so cheapass at the end of the Stars? Just cause you Guys don't like him cause he is a different kind of Villain, doesn't make him boring or even useless. He has just a different Story which we don't know about yet.

There are Questions about the things he said.

- What of you, my mirror? Born into this world, bestowed name, bid to seek out strife and adventure... Was this life a gift... or a burden?

This makes me ask, where is he from?
Bestowed Name? Hmm another question.
Don't know but was our life a gift... or even more a burden if we look back? I watched so many Cutscene and was our Adventures really Adventures? Or have we just corrected the wrongs of the past?

To flood the 1th Shard with Light was a mistake made by Emet-Selch, Elidibus, Mitron and Loghrif.
To flood the 13th Shard with Darkness was a mistake made by Emet-Selch, Lahabrea, Elidibus, Mitron and Loghrif.
The Endsinger / Meteion was a mistake Hermes made
What happend in Garlemald was Emet-Selch again.
The Fight with Gaius ... Lahabreas mistake.
The Sundering of the World Venats mistake.
The list goes on ....

- Never have I understood those around me. Understood their obsessions. Besieged by their banality, the world was a mire of tedium and trivialities.

Who he means with around me? The Ascians? The Ancients? His Father? Was Varis even his Father? Or the normal People?

Shoebill.

A Hornbill is a completely different bird.

[TheMightyMollusk]

In my defense, I can be very dumb at times.

That hornbill's eye and feather really match Zeno's own. This should definitely be his familar!

[Pyro2hell3]

Honestly with Zenos nothing would surprise me he could show up outside our inn room saying" Greetings have you heard about the glory of the one true god Yoshi P?" and I'd still go yeah this seems about right
