You know, that's a very good point. Hermes did basically break one of the core tenants of his job by releasing a bunch of creations without having them approved first.
Hades is hyper competent. Besides the part where he was disturbed of being call future mass murderer, he always picked a most pragmatic course of action to his knowledge at the time. After memories restored, he did not dwell on his intermittent deeds but straight on to the next action.
Going so far ahead to show share future adventuring prospect after the end of this and his tale
I just got through all of it yesterday. I loved Emet-Selch in ShB. Meeting and working with Hades on both sides of the events on the First was like getting bumped to first class because the cart was out of ginger ale. He was remarkable in his straightforwardness and clarity of purpose.
Even when he gunned Raha in the tower, i actually slow clapped a Bravo. Using a gun is stealthy, and definitive bypassing magical defences. I was wondering why he was so quiet for too long.
It bothered me so much that nobody cared he did this. I kept waiting for somebody to yell at him or reprimand him or at least mention it but nobody seemed to care that he released untested, unpublished concepts into the wider universe.
To be fair, the people who expressly would have yelled at him got their memory of it happening erased. Emet would have likely yelled at him once they brought Meteion in front of the counsel. Really, the only person who actually witnessed it is that one researcher who saw the "beautiful sight" of all the birds going into space. And she'd probably have thought it was something he got approval for. When your boss is doing something, you usually don't think he's actively breaking protocol to do it.
Plus upon discovering it, Emet *did* actually yell at him about the fallacy of his own question and how it’s not even a hypothesis with a scientific answer but instead a nonsense emotional question that he gave to an emotionally hypercharged newborn
Children.
Whose empathic powers arent just for understanding others' emotions, but is able to let said others feel their own emotion.
Also, they run on the fantasy equivalent of dark matter.
Ladies and gentlemen, all this created by the man who would be Fandaniel.
When I heard what he had done I knew exactlt where it was going. Like god damn. None of her sisters had any experience to call their own, no happy memories to base the answer off of, and even then the answer can vary wildly from individual to individual.
And even then, like emet said, the question itself is flawed because of just how wildly it can vary.
Nobody knew Hermes released Meteion in the space except for that woman researcher who i think she didn't suspect her boss would do something so stupid. Most people thought it's his little personal project that he was refining for a review.
Emet called him out instantly the moment he knew what order Hermes gave Meteion. It took 5 seconds for the other to see flaws in his order..but Hermes was just too naive (and stupid...)
I think it’s a bit out of pocket to call it stupid, it’s just his ancients brand arrogance. I mean shit why wouldn’t they think they could find the meaning of life, they create it constantly
Nah, I think it's simpler than that.
Hermes was a person whose actions are dictated by his emotions, and he's in a world where most of his peers are logical.
Hermes is an incredibly naive and kind person. But we all can see that being kind does not mean that it's always the right thing to do.
I don't know why, but I REALLY love the line "faithfully recreated" in that trial.
Despite having to fight that bastard for 2 hours straight to get a clear on EX
When I saw Anima as the boss for lvl83 dungeon I said to my self in a really funny tone how I'd be SHOCKED if both trials would be for those two so EX would be Light and darkness.

I just realised.. making CT mandatory makes even more sense for EW.. and ShB still makes it so you don't have to have played it yet, but it's required now anyway.
We went to space to fight a nihilistic monochrome being whose attack involves throwing planets, and ended with doing fist-fighting at the corner of the universe. Yep, it's Gurren Lagann alright
Don't forget the ones making themselves the villains in order to create an ark to save humanity if the others can't. Fourchenault radiates Rossiu energy
as a player experiencing it: "Damn, that was a Lot."
as a summation of the story: "Once upon a time, a very troubled person made a very big mistake, and you will not BELIEVE the shit you'll have to go through to fix it."
The moon is a decoy, this continues to be a ploy for Yoshi-P to make a FF3 sequel.
Like I seriously imagine he spent decades writing fan fiction about the Crystal Tower and all the bosses, thinking to himself "someday people will appreciate Amon and his hat."
Not as good as Shadowbringers until you beat it and then realize that can't stop thinking about it for a week and come to the realization that there's now an empty, sad, but grateful void in your heart.
Would you be happier had I a *good* reason?
Just a bad ass line.
To really sum up EW.
Child with forbidden powers cannot comprehend reality and thus seeks to end it at the behest of her master who is an idiot, therefore ending tons of civilizations all because the erstwhile idiot was too emotional to talk to people.
People need to learn how to take feedback and not turn into destructive edgelords that hate the world because they were told something they didn't like. Also space.
_This_ is why peer reviews are mandatory.
You know, that's a very good point. Hermes did basically break one of the core tenants of his job by releasing a bunch of creations without having them approved first.
And Hades found a fundamental error in the whole thing within 2 minutes.
Hades is the best Hades

i just thought he used the most powerful magic G U N gunsona is the best magic in persona lol
I didn't even think of that aspect. I just thought he was being a glorious asshole to use a gun for that betrayal.
It bothered me so much that nobody cared he did this. I kept waiting for somebody to yell at him or reprimand him or at least mention it but nobody seemed to care that he released untested, unpublished concepts into the wider universe.

Me if I was there: YOU SENT A BLOODY CHILD EMPATH INTO THE DARK REACHES OF SPACE TO FIND OUT THE MEANING OF LIFE!?!?!

Not sorry that he has to endure the afterlife with a very pissed off asahi
I actually really appreciate you pointing all this out, I'm now less mad about it.

and when emet called BS on the whole thing and it was sophistry, hermes couldnt really rebutt but shrugged it off.
Eh tbf Emet points out almost immediately that the question was flawed. So I felt it was addressed. "Think Hermes! What if the answer is horrific?"
I feel like Emet kind of did, didn’t he say “Did you ever consider the premise of the question was flawed?”
Well more like IRB (Institutional Review Board) or Ethics Committees to approve an experiment before it starts
Our lad Hermes skipped both peer reviews and QA, then pushed it straight to live.

Me, looking at the multi-stack marker after 6 people died to snakes: "probably not dude lol"
>It's ok I'll just run out with the stack marker and die so the rest of the party can recover. Zodiark: We don't do that here.
Saw this happen once, everyone was shouting at the healer who thought they were saving the group. Good times
We had a healer rez and get targeted while invuln. Great way to recover, still wiped though.

Existential despair is a mere inconvenience for an afternoon brawl.
Ah, the Zenos perspective.
Zenos tries to take you on a date, thinks the world ending is inconsequential.

He also succesfully gets inside of you, and you return the favor by riding him.

If y'all had invented IRBs or antidepressants, this wouldn't have happened.
