So, after completing 5.3, I keep getting this feeling that Zodiark might end up being kinda the better one among the two? It just feels like Zodiark was honestly just a good primal summoned with hope to save the world who was given then a flawed plan (give lives away to restore the planet and then take life from the planet to restore lives kinda sounds like a cycle, no?) while Hydaelyn sounds more logical in her goal but less...nice? I don't want to call her evil but I won't be surprised if she will go "if you are not with me, you are against me" mode.

​

Also, a side note, it has been implied that she herself does not "do" much and that people who got her crystals got them through "good" deeds yet she chose us. She chose us and gave us 6 crystals and there was no way she did not know that we are Azem. To me, it feels like she is using us for her plan. Not because she is evil but simply because it makes the most sense.

​

At this point, I won't be surprised if we will meet Zodi, somehow, and buddy up with him and that the finale going to be us with him vs Zenos with Hydaelyn. So, pretty much, screw Light Mother, all hail Darkness Dad.

​

​

P.S. It seems that people missed my point of "siding with Zodi". I did not mean it in a sense of, "Oh, now we are on Zodiark gang." More in a sense that I can see Zenos taking Hydaelyn's powers and us, to match him, taking Zodiark powers who might not be against it. That would result in two, pretty much, dying after the fight, possibly.
