I do find it crazy that we still don't really know who we're fighting against or what we're even fighting for

Before you say "Duh, we're fighting against the Knight to prevent the Roaring/Last Prophecy", well we don't even know if the Knight is our only antagonist. ERAM aurafarmed in Chapter 3, said they had work to do, and has seemingly booked a vacation. Are they going to be part of the main story as a main antagonist? Who knows! For all we know they're only going to appear in alternative routes and via collecting the shadow crystals. And oh yeah, what's the final prophecy? Who knows! I think it's egregious that I'll have to deal with that day flashbacks alongside the final prophecy and whatever else from Gaster to Eggs to ERAM is being stirred into the narrative kettle of Chapters 6 and 7. I hope I wasn't too negative. I do love the game and its story; perhaps I was a bit overly critical on the pacing given we don't know if Chapter 7 is like half the game time. Adios!
