копипаста про FFXIV: Endwalker

Ancient society was not perfect, the very existence of Hermes and Pandaemonium are evidence of this.

If their society created these terrible flaws that brought an end to Ancient society (or would have), then they would have unknowingly created another threat to themselves.

Venat listened several reasons as to why she could not just go to the Convocation and tell the truth.

Venat did try to sway the Ancients away from their chosen path before she chose to sunder Zodiark and the world.

Their refusal to confront the cause of the problem and their desire to bury their heads in the sand and return to a simple life of comfort is evidence that they could not defeat Meteion.

There were plenty of sapient lifeforms among the concepts that the Ancient had planned to sacrifice to Zodiark in factory farm fashion, they just didn't consider them people.

The plan to rejoin the world was already broken and doomed to fail due to the loss of the Thirteenth.

Emet-Selch's bluster about the inferiority of sundered mankind was nothing but cope.

He loved his sundered offspring, sundered culture and even sundered inventions. Urianger outright confirms that he views you as children, as immature people, not as subhuman animals.

The inhabitants of the Seventeenth End have so many traits in common that it's obvious that they are meant to serve as an allegory for the Ancients.

Even back in Amaurot in 5.0, there are Ancients who contemplate what future awaits them once they have created every concept that they can feasibly imagine.

You will walk.

>that moment when you realize that Athena's mentality is just the mentality of the Ancients pushed to the extreme

Emet-Selch by the time of Shadowbringers is a miserable phantom and a pitiful shadow of the admirable and wise man he once was.

His attempts to deny that the sundered are as human as the ancients are just him trying to hold on to the eugenicist beliefs of his society, but it's very clear that he struggles to reconcile his knowledge that the sundered are ultimately still people with his duty to the ancients and to his friends.

Genuinely the best villain in the entire Final Fantasy series. His character feels almost disproportionately nuanced for the series.

The “entity” is reality and the universe itself. The laws of physics and the physical universe are hostile to intelligence, yet it continues to develop anyway, only to choose self-termination once it reaches a certain point (if it’s ever allowed to reach that point). It’s arguably more horrifying than if there was some entity causing it all, it’s simply the way the universe is built that causes all this untold cruelty and pain, and as far as we know nobody made it to be that way, it just is, innately.

imagine all of your coworkers feign interest in you even though you share interests and you obviously have work to bond over (and you actually are a manager that does work you aren't some mealy-mouthed american restaurant owner or anything) and no matter what you say or what you do and no matter how much you have in common they don't really care

imagine your bosses come in and you tell them what's been going on and how some specific things have gone wrong and you are hushed and scorned for saying things "went wrong" and you're browbeaten into the corporate approved "we did a fuckie wuckie :)" turn of phrase which you know full well is only used to avoid saying anything went wrong. your bosses have an eerie avoidance of saying anything went wrong. things go wrong often but your bosses don't want you to ever say in any certain terms that things went wrong

now imagine you find an automatic weapon laying on the ground. and by automatic weapon i mean an army of interstellar bird lolis powered by dark-matter. and theoretically they can make contact with extraterrestrial life with wildly different perspectives. maybe there really is somewhere better out there. maybe your bosses are just enormous cock-riding faggots and stunted manchildren like you've thought all these years. maybe you can say something went wrong and one of your fourteen bosses won't fall to the floor in hysterics this time after you provide some proof that somewhere there is greener grass and a place under the sun that they don't fucking manage with their worthless input

Hermes wasn't hard focused on created life, that was just another symptom of the real problem which was that they didn't care about their own lives either. The Ancients lost sight of the importance of both life and death, and their complete disregard for created life was just one aspect of that. The thing that really set him off was their nonchalant view of the former Fandaniel's suicide. Death is a natural part of life but it has to be treated with the proper respect, and if one doesn't respect death then they can't respect the value of life which is contextualized by its fleeting nature.
