FFXIV Endwalker MSQ 59-Lives Apart

Elpis is so pretty.

Ok Lore bit here. Hermes asks us the difference between arcane entities and living beings. So living beings have souls. I get that part that is easy to understand. So does that mean all creatures are arcane? Because they are creations and it states that they are incapable of creating souls, that is beyond their powers.

But then he begins talking about enduring on their own? This is where I am confused. Anyone who watches these know more about this part of lore? So the butterflies have souls even though they are creations?

8:40 Cutscene: Not only do we get roasted by Emet but um…the information is really important to the entire story.

So Dynamis is like wielding aether only solely based on emotions and feelings but those with dense aether can't do anything with it.This is where I get a bit confused. Zodiark blankets Etheirys in aether essentially to hide the star from the song of oblivion because aether is stronger. We as only just over half our souls can use Dynamis easier or at least can interact with this energy? So emotion based magics?

Ok Dynamis may be a weaker energy but does Hermes not understand how potentially dangerous something would be if it is solely based off of emotions which, let's take a girl for example she can have like 50 different emotions in the span of a minute and then imagine making those emotions manifest, um…the world would cease to exist in a matter of minutes.

Anyways off that topic my understanding is that Emet roasts us no matter which answer we pick. Though I suppose I deserved his snark with the one I picked. :)
