    What's interesting to note is how fervently Emet-Selch believed that the people of the Source would never make the same sacrifices for one another as the Ancients did when they summoned Zodiark, and the second sacrifice after that.
    But it's important to remember that he's wrong, and it's because he's wrong that we're in the First at all. Those who survived the Eighth Umbral Calamity chose to spend their whole lives working to study the Crystal Tower after Cid's proposal, all the while most or all of them fearing that if they changed the past, their own lives could be wiped from existence if the Eighth Umbral Calamity was rewritten out of history. Though they did find out in hindsight that they would continue to live, they had no way of knowing this until after the Crystal Tower had already vanished on its way to the First, and so they worked to restore a world that they knew they would NEVER live to see.
    That's how the Ancients are different from the people of the Source. They worked to restore their present, where the survivors of the Eighth on the Source were prepared to sacrifice all in order to restore a world, a past, that didn't even belong to them.

    Congratulation!! I’m happy you’re enjoying the ride. Tbh, this part really hit me and believe many of us felt the same way. We understand Emet so much that it reflected with everything we did. Like…if you could save someone dear to you like Hauchefant with whatever possible means, would we do it with all you have? That was Emet’s resolve, there were chances for him to save those who dear to him. He had the same determination as WoL. Thus, he couldn’t back down until the last moment of his life, knowing he did his very best though he lost.
    In the end, Emet was happy that he met and lost to someone, one that with a sundered soul (and once his dear friend), with the equal resolve and determination he had for he knew a part of his hope would continue on.

    "I know he's the bad guy and we're supposed to root for him to be killed."
    Not exactly. That's the entire point of Shadowbringers, to show that the Warrior and the Scions are the exact same as Emet and the Ascians. You are two sides of the same coin, fighting for opposite sides of the same goal. For one side's world to live, the other's has to die. Emet may have been the antagonist, but that doesn't mean he's a bad guy. You're sad because he's the hero in his story. That's why he smiled as he disappeared. "A smile better suits a hero."

      But his world is already gone. And has been gone for a long, long time. Whether you believe he is a bad guy or not, he is. Because he wishes to take away the lives of everyone who exists now. His actions have caused the death and suffering of billions, if not trillions across multiple worlds, and multiple generations. That's what sets him apart from us and the Scions. We're trying to save those who are still here. And those who will come after. We're not trying to bring back what's gone, at the cost of what lives now.

He's not looking to "take away" the lives across the Shards, he's looking to "make them whole" again by returning the world to its unified state (and thus, all the souls that go with it). And that's exactly why you're the same as him. He would see the worlds as they are "destroyed" (in the sense that they would not exist as they are) so that everything can be made whole and pure again; whereas you would condemn the worlds and all the lives in them to a shattered and "imperfect" existence for the sake of preserving what is.

    • @gnw_AstA
      @gnw_AstA 3 года назад +1

      You fail to see the entire point of Emet’s character. I am under no illusion that he isn’t without faults, he has a lot as with the rest of the Ascians. The point here is the clashing of different perspectives. The Ancients were once a proud and powerful race of noble conduct and fearsome power, yet when faced with a situation that spelled the doom of their race and world, their most primal instinct to survive kicked in which led them to make choices that not so long ago, they would have frowned upon, which is a real and natural thing that happens in our world today. All manner of moral upbringing will amount to nothing once you're faced with imminent death and there's nothing left but that primal instinct to survive at all costs. Alisaie basically said it herself at one point in the MSQ. She does acknowledge the flaws in the Great Work of the Ascians BUT makes it a point to admit that if she was faced with the same situation, she would have done the same as well.
      Being morally right is a luxury for peacetime, something that the Ascians no longer possessed once Doomsday loomed over them. All I see really were hard men and women who had to make hard decisions. They didn’t do a lot of things right, no shit about that, but at the end of the day, they were nothing more but unfortunate souls who had to make do with the fate that they were dealt with. Dismissing him and the other Ascians (barring Fandaniel, atm) as outright evil right off the bat when the entire plot and theme of Shadowbringers makes it a point to tell to us that it's not always black and white or as simple as it seemed to be is a disservice to the complexities of his characterization, this also naturally includes Elidibus.

    Remember back to after the defeat of Vauthry, Graha says the combined light was too much for any "one" soul to bear.

    It's always baffled me how people picked "You know I could." on that one part.
    I saw it fit to pick the 2nd option ("What, all by myself?") every time. With me on the ground, about to turn into a sin eater, a little bit of help in the form of Ardbert would help a lot. And it did, with him lending his own soul.
    I also thought that I would give Ardbert another shot at saving his world, after he failed to save it before.
    These were the thoughts that ran in my head. I know that people have different approaches to a choice that will inevitably not matter in the end. So it really doesn't matter that much. Just something that made me wonder, I guess.
