This video may feel a bit all over the place but that’s because I had a hard time really sticking to one thing since they did so much right with this character. I hope you all feel similarly!

Lyse wasn’t even a one note character
So If/When Hades and Hythlodeus reincarnate will they be able to do creation magic since their souls weren't sundered?
I didn't realize how much Emet-Selch was hurting. I started in ShB and kinda burned through tge storyline so it was nice to hear some details I missed!
I think endwalker hades is still pretty great to show the "unbroken" version of him. He pretty much leads the charge in trying to stop the future events despite saying that he doesn't believe it and he has so much energy to do what he believes is right. It's great
He's also been in love a few times, since he did love Solus' son.
FFXIV story = Hades (Emet-Selch) redemption. One the many reasons why I love FFXIV…is Emet. The complexity and depth of his characterization is an epic tale. I appreciate your POV.
Man I always love your videos
I'd never thought about the fact that he may have realised he was killing a friend over and over. Though really you have to wonder if a person sundered and a person reincarnated are really even equivalent. There was a sundered Azem long ago but they died and were reincarnated . A succession of people that shared their soul were born from it fall making their own memories and each becoming their own person. A person is as much their memories as they are their soul – perhaps more so.
This means that even if Emet really was driven by the desire to reunite with one of his closest friends it was a hope that was doomed to fail from the start , the warrior of light is not Azem – they're a new person writing a new story and borrowing the same soul Azem once borrowed themselves to do so. No matter how many rejoicings that soul has or will go through Azem will never be brought back. At best assuming he planned to use the Azem crystal to give Azems soul to their current reincarnation they'd get a new person that can also remember Azem's life and there is no telling how that person could take this, best case scenario, by the time they're done rejoining all the worlds you might get a person similar enough to the person azem once was that hasn't suffered so much that they develop any major issues, your middle ground might be someone like our own warriors of light who clearly have baggage but seem at least better at keeping afloat than someone like ardbert who coincidentally was ripped from the same cloth as well and we had better hope ardbert is the worst case scenario. Imagine what someone who can fully remember the final days and – the possibility of a remembered failure to save his people coupled with early shadowbringers ardbert who had failed and failed and failed again to save his world and was rewarded for their good deeds by becoming the reason their world fell. That could easily break a person.
now onto the hurting his friend over and over again part, they'd absolutely need to cause significant suffering to practically everyone that was sundered enough times to rejoin all the worlds but that's not the half of it. Emet would have to aid in the rise and fall of civilisations – empires. how many wars battles did he instigate. how many orphans starved on the street only to be reborn again into an equally bleak life because of the wars and injustices he would have had to encourage. given the fact that he knew he was doing this it's no wonder he said the sundered aren't truely alive because to admit otherwise would be to admit the magnitude of the crime he committed on the people he had lived amongst for so long.
I can't watch cause I've never met this guy in game, so uh . . . Yeah. My mom did not sign the permission slip for this feels trip
I thought Emet Selch’s part to play in EW was the best part of the whole thing. 😕
