It kind of defeats the whole point of Vivi stopping if there are a bunch of clones running around with just as short a lifespan. I know it's a metaphor about life and death or some junk but it's supposed to be emotional, dammit! How can I be sad now, Pontus!?
I agree with you. I think that it seems almost cruel to bring a sentient lifeform into existence with such a short lifespan. There is hardly time for a being to experience the world and create memories worth cherishing in a little under a year. I got the impression that the Black Mages were unnatural creations and it seems odd to me that they would keep producing more or reproducing somehow after they have served their purpose. Is this supposed to be a joyful thing?
