That's pretty close to the English quote.
In the long term the risk of extinction is 100%, but my point is that one can overcome Meteion and learn from the mistakes of the Dead Ends. A society that follows the Plenty does neither.Still you must be commended. Our methods would not have brought mankind this far.
Maybe they could find a way. But nothing we know right now indicates that's a possibility. As Hermes says:
Which leads to the idea that reduction in aetheric density can open the door to being an entelechy.Whats more, dynamis is far weaker than aether. Under normal circumstances, its effects are drowned out by the latter. On account of which, beings comprised of and reliant upon aether, like you or I, are unable to make practical use of dynamis.
It's not really manipulating electricity if I have to explain to my washing machine why it shouldn't self terminate every time I want to use it. Of the beings used to manipulate dynamis, none resemble machines. Meteion had a will of her own, as did the souls that ultimately ended up in Ultima Thule, and of course humanity. The only entelechy we know of that lacks that capacity are the Elpis flowers, which are known to react to changes in dynamis, but not enact change themselves. That's where a will comes in.A deficit of aether alone does not an entelechy make. It would, however, make it easier for you to interact with dynamis.
Right, its undoubtably true that when one lives on an aether rich star a reduction in aetheric density does make one more vulnerable. But this also comes with a positive, namely dynamis manipulation, a quality that allowed us to overcome Omega, the Unsundered, a host of different foes, and ultimately Meteion.Hermes: Dynamis is an energy put in motion by feelings. Feelings for which there must first exist a source.
The only reason the dragons survive today is due to the decision by Midgard to abandon his star, otherwise we would've encountered him for the first time in Ultima. And the Omicrons only gained new meaning after our intervention, without which they would have continued to remain in despair. So its not so much that life finds a way, but that what was happening on Etheirys was the last hope to defeat Meteion. Those who made it here survived, those who didn't not so much.
Nothing, but it clearly wasn't enough to avert their doom. The Ea had their disagreements as well, yet that proved insufficient.
Important to note that it can reasonably be interpreted either way. The phrase left out from your quote
Translations of the other languages seems to suggest she took our stories' particulars with a grain of salt.You may find your world to be very different. Or perhaps the erasure of our friends' memories has sown the seeds of a conjunction between. We cannot know until the moment is at hand, so shall I strive to do my best, taking naught for granted as I walk my path.
Maybe, but of all the questions discussed about Endwalker this is the one that I think the developers left to be decided by the players.
I agree both are terrible, which is why I was pushing back on the idea that one is a better state of affairs than the other.
