If there is a justice or morality at work that governs our fates, I do not know it. Nor do I think any man ever will.

Near as I can tell, the translation of this dialog is:

JP
On the other hand, the souls of Fandaniel and the the souls of the ancients who made up Zodiark he hijacked have drifted to the sea of stars.
I'm not trying to argue about whether it's good or bad. I'm just trying to argue the facts.

This goes back to the OP examples of Hydaelyn being credited for forestalling the Final Days, now Zodiark is being accused of "setting in motion so many cataclysmic events". I noticed this throughout my first playthrough of EW before learning it's a localization problem.

I don't want a rewrite of the source material. I want the story as the original, JP writers told it not a localizer's re-envisioning.
Are you sure it's not saying the ancients set into motion cataclysmic events?

The ancients, after summoning zodiark, set into motion cataclysmic events.


That's how I read that.
