Yeah, Koji said that we'll learn more about Niellefresne's fate in Stormblood, and that's why he couldn't reveal more at the time of the panel. I can't wait.
As for Damielliot, I'm thrilled to see him once again and I hope that his character appears in other quests in the future!
I also liked how the alchemist guild leader in that scene acknowledges you and calls you his capable assistant. That is if you leveled up your alchemist.
I want to know what happened to Gogorono!

A /salute to all of our dearly missed 1.0 guild friends who are still MIA.
Morys, Yoyobina, I'llofii, Keelty & Siward (though he's likely in a gaol by now), Titinin, and I would say Lewena, but she kinda made a reappearance sorta in the Gold Saucer. Also, since we've caught up with most of the Limsa and Ul'dah starter characters, I wouldn't mind seeing an older Krimm and Fye?
I agree, I still want to know the greater details of the whole Khrimm/Fye/Dunstan/'wildlings-who-werent-but-were-only-pretending-to-be-in-exile-because-they-were-on-some-special-mission-for-Gridania-against-the-Garleans" affair 1.0's Gridanian storyline revolved around - Dunstan at least must have gone onto something of major importance in Gridanian society as he has an anti-Ixal watch spire in ARR named after him.
Especially, I would love it to be confirmed or denied officially that, which is commonly believed, that the Hermit of the Wood and Khrimm are one and the same person? (Although, as the Hermit was one of Minfilia's 'Watchers' in the Path of the Twelve on the lookout for those showing signs of the Echo, it's possible he might have been killed with the rest of the Path in the Calamity).
Either way, I would love these story ideas to be finally given some closure. :D
