FFXIV Endwalker MSQ 72 Part 3-Ktisis Cutscene

Was there happiness? Really what kind of question is that? Happiness is fleeting just like every other emotion. You can be happy for 10 minutes and then be angry the next and so on and so forth.

Notice how each character is panned in on for each society Meteion describes. I read a breakdown of this somewhere wish I could find it/remember it. I am not sure I understand the reference for Hythlodaeus.

Hermes:
Who is he to decide mankind's worthiness. He is not the creator? He is just as flawed as the rest if not more so with how insane he is. Not a single one of them have the right to make that judgement. Not him, not Emet-Selch, nor is it Venat's right. She had no right to make the decision for mankind that she did even if it was the only way. Irony here.

So yes lets have the depressed guy who doesn't understand his own meaning for life, his own purpose to judge everyone else's. That is great. Love the writers they did a good job. They do crazy well.

I am sorry not sorry, their lives should take precedence over their creations lives. Just like in the real world a human's life should take precedence over (lets pick something cute) a puppies life. Mankind has dominion over the flora and fauna of the planet, it is in order to care for, tend to, and use all resources given to their fullest potential in a just manner for the good of all mankind. Now "just" is the keyword meaning responsibly but that doesn’t put bunny rabbits above humans. There is no equality between caretaker and creature or creator and creation.

Emet-Selch: So much conveyed in the dialogue.
1. Emet just accepted us as Azem even though we are sundered and he claims to barely believe our story. We know even in his denial that he does believe us to some extant because he knows how to perceive liars. And he compared us to our ancient selves and Venat. We are incorrigible. :)

2. He accepts us as we are,that we are worthy stewards of the star. He sacrifices everything for us, for a sundered star and its remaining reflections. He condemns himself to 12,000ish years of misery, loneliness, and pain. Compare this to his tempered self when he says "You cannot be entrusted with our legacy" That smile of his...

3. When Emet starts talking to us and I might be wrong but I don't think we realize right away that he didn't or isn't going to summon Grani to get him and Hythlo out of there as well. I did frame by frame screenshots to see our reaction better and there is a moment as he says his "goodbye" we realize it is a goodbye. This look reminds me of a wait what... no moment before we yell to him. I caught it the best I could and put it on Twitter. In fact these are all statements from my twitter account. https://twitter.com/MoonKitty1022

I know twitter is not the greatest but it has lots of FFXIV posts and that is all I use it for.
