Protection from Primals is innate though, it's granted via the Echo, not the Blessing of Light which Hydaelyn gave the WoL (the Blessing is that fancy aetheric mandala where the Crystals of Light are 'arranged'). So it should remain intact even if Hydaelyn 'dies' (this was demonstrated late in ARR/much of HW after Midgardsormr sealed the Wol's Blessing, effectively stripping them of it's power - the WoL no longer had access to their 'hotline' to Hydaelyn, but they could still fight Primals without being tempered as normal.).Quote:

That'd do an end-run around the Hydaelyn-vs-Zodiark eternal conflict, and even aside from the Echo (which we'd presumably still have) the newly-fused entity could presumably also still lend us a Blessing... though one assumes it would be a Blessing of Light and Darkness (or a Blessing of Balance) at that point.
After all, we've been the Warrior of Light, and the Warrior of Darkness... maybe it's time to be the Warrior of Balance, and try to keep things from tipping too far in any direction.
Plus, honestly, I feel like there'd be a bit of a poetic balance if the arc that began with us trying to stop the Ascians from restoring their god (who we now know was created to stave off the end of the world) concluded with us trying to restore Zodiark as a step in trying to prevent the end of the world, and an Ascian (Fandaniel) trying to stop us.
But, again, that's me as a writer; I have zero idea what direction the devs will take it. -

Other people here are mentioning Sharlayan... and as someone who pretends to be a Sharlayan for RP purposes, it would be nice to finally see my "home town". I don't really see much reason for going there... but I don't see much of a reason for going to Thavnair either, so who the hell knows.
I will say though, that even if we don't go somewhere this expansion, there's still more to come after this. My expectation is that after this arc, we're going to visit the New World. -

I don’t think the final zone will be the moon. I think the moon may be several zones which could include the final one but do remember they said a beast tribe was on the moon.
Beast tribes have never been in the final zone. -
02-12-2021, 08:42 AMEnkidohThat is actually wrong. The final zone for ShB, The Tempest, has the Ondo (the First's version of the Sahagin), and there is even a friendly tribe of them there (occupying what is insinuated to be part of theQuote:

The general belief and 'proof' that the final zone for EW will be the Moon however is based on how EW seems to be referencing FFIV a lot, and the moon is not only FFIV's final zone/dungeon, it's also where the rabbit-like Hummingway tribe was located, so that is a good a choice as any. Nothing is known for certain at the moment though. -

This is from the Endwalker site and I doubt they'd spoil the final zone at the first announcement
I have a feeling it will likely end on Hydalen after we find out some hidden truth about/from Zodiark and in a way hope it ties into what is beneath Silvertear Lake with that mystery and maybe the rest of the 1.0 Mohr Dhona could make a final zone.Quote:

The raid is Pandaemonium, the capital of Hell.
You don't go to the capital of Hell without going to Hell.
I said before that I think we will go to the Lifestream in 6.0, and I still believe the last zone is in the Lifestream.
