[ This is totally my perspective on it… it fits, but who knows if it's actually "correct" ]
Take that cutscene as metaphorical. It's Venat's remembrance of events (I can't see Venat as written just walking past someone being eaten). She sees the group sacrificing themselves in the cutscene (go into Amarout dungeon in explorer mode…. look at all of the bodies in that area [2nd boss arena]), and it leads her to the conclusion that the world needs to be split so mankind can learn suffering and overcome it if they are to survive Meteion and her despair. The Ancient Ascians are to set in their way with their creation magic and thinking that their world was so perfect, that they cannot move past when suffering affects them. They have to go back to their "perfect world" as it was. Elpis was a brilliant area IMO as it gave us a peek into the ancient world and some of its problems we never heard about from Emet when he was talking about it.
As for Azem… "Azem" disagreed with any summoning. Be it the Convocation summoning Zodiark or Venat and her group summoning Hydaelyn. I read that as Azem felt that man should overcome the trial himself, not be dependent on an outside force [this is of course me reading into the character]. And as we learn, Zodiark didn't "fix" anything just made it to where the Meteia (Meteion and her sisters) couldn't affect Etheirys. The problem still existed, Zodiark just hid it from view.
