What would the path be had you been able to contain the light?

Yoshi-P went into this topic himself in a Famitsu Interview.



So it seems like he was being sincere, but didn't have a specific plan if you actually did succeed. He also talks about the idea that Emet might've intentionally created a situation where the WoL would be cured if they were able to wield the light to defeat him, making the final battle kinda a "test" it's own right.

Which confirms that we definitely wouldn't have ever contained it anyway, because he was testing for something that even we fairly quickly knew was false, our potential Unsundered-ness.

If Emet had ever met Ardbert we wouldn't have had this problem. ...we'd have had an entirely different, probably much worse one.
