I said the Gods were the same entity which makes it obvious that Venat and Gerugen are the same entity.That thing about fighting the Gods was crap to manipulate humans (and leading Cid to the CREATION of DEIFIED nethicite using magicite).

I know they are not "true gods" but I feel if they had the time/space manipulation power, they would never have had any problems with Venat or need of Lady Ashe. The plot kinda falls apart if they had powers that reach into those realms.
Which part of "Occurians need gasified mist and solified mist(nethicite) to have powers and stay on the world" you didnīt read?
