Basically, everything in her future/your past led to you coming back to tell her about the Final Days, so she had to make sure everything happened the way it did in your past or else you wouldn't have come back to tell her about what happened. Can't go causing any time paradoxes!

It's this from a logistical standpoint but I don't know WHY they don't outright state it at this point. Her stated reasons in-universe are what Ganon says and are pretty flimsy. Not trusting Fandaniel is one thing but why not Emet or at least Hythlodeus? It creates this weirdly written half-justification instead of her just embracing the loop. And the thing is, with how we know time travel works in this universe she COULD feel free to change the future from that point and create an offshoot timeline (the Exarch's original timeline still exists, after all). That's getting a little too wacky and this is getting a lot too nitpicky though!

Anyways I'm not through the whole game so maybe there's more context I'm missing, but I do have another question about that scene I just thought of

When Venat is walking through the ruins of Amaurot, she passes Emet and Hythlodaeus. But we know that Hythlodaeus was one of the sacrifices to form Zodiark. We talk to him on the moon about it! He couldn't have possibly been around at the time of the Sundering, which she is on her way to do. What's up with that?
