But this entire arc makes the xeheart character totally void.
Of course nobody cares , when the character carefully picked the choices leading to the bad end.
There should have been a GAME OVER screen prompting xeheart to choose an earlier save and pick different choice:
-Was listening to ezelcant a wise choice ?
-Was pursuing Exa-db a priority ?
-Shouldn't you have cast off your feeligns toward asemu from the start and disposed of him once your first job done ?
-Should you have let the 2 team of elites across 2 freaking arcs die because they were too stupid to understand the treat in front of them ?
And the list goes on . I've barely started.. Xeheart could have made countless different choices during the 3 arcs Yet choose poorly EVERY FREAKING TIME and was backed up only by Ezelcant crazy plan.
Honestly thought Zeheart was going to die involving something Kio & Asemu but hey, didn't happen. He did deserve some sort of redemption but I guess that breakdown is something I should have seen coming given his insistence on maintaining the welfare of his comrades up until the point he starts to willingly sacrifice them. Also his poor choices seemed mostly story related such that Asemu would be influenced to follow the neutral path, unwilling to commit to either side as he did. That fit nicely in-between Kio's "Save 'em all" and Flit's "Kill 'em all" philosophies. In the end, he's just another mishandled character used as he was for the sake of the main trio.
