I don't know, i think you guys are misreading his words, when he... whatever he is, talks he doesn't say "the stench of shadow" he says the cloying stench of shadow" as in, to much of something good, like cloyingly sweet or cloyingly romantic.
I get the vibe that the "stench" of shadow, smells very good to the big Garlean bad guy.
I don't think they are trying to prevent a great disaster, they are trying to bring one on.
I am very interested to know more of the 5 npcs that do battle with him, and have been saving us since the beginning, where are they from? Obviously they have been fighting the empire for awhile, They seemed to know what he was and were prepared for everything he had to throw at them.
And is what they are doing any tell as to the future of the classes/jobs? the miquote seems to be conj the lala, thm, and the girl (forget if shes human or elzen) is obviously pug. what is the guy with the daggers? I notice he throws daggers more so then melee (I have heard they have hinted of future "Jobs" that will require more then one class to unlock)
Is he some job that will require Glad and Arc to unlock? gladiator I'm assuming for daggers and arc I'm assuming for the mobility, agility and ranged use of them he displayed.
All an all this cut scene and entire quest, has left my mind going crazy, and has really peaked my interest for the storyline and content to come, I cant wait! Big thumbs up to SE on the Storyline and cut scenes so far all around.
