    In the other translations, he actually praises the Ancients for originally saving the world by summoning Zodiark instead of lumping them into the same crowd as Amon. It's hard not to see the change as anything but blatant spite-writing by someone with a considerably more negative view of them...which shows in other places like the adjectives being used to describe the nameless Ancients being more negative even back in 5.0 with the Amaurotine shades.
    That's actually aggravating. I really wish that I knew Japanese (or another translated language) enough to get a more authentic experience of the story.
