First off, I want to say that I really enjoyed the story of 2.55 and how it tied everything together to go into Heavensward. It felt exciting and compelling, and was a good wrap-up overall. That being said, I thought a number of things about the events didn't really add up or make much logical sense.

Aside from Nanamo's plan to curb syndicate power making little sense to me, I felt the whole coup orchestrated by the monetarists was either poorly executed or poorly thought out.

Why would they frame the Scions in the first place? Especially the WoL--they're literally the savior of the realm (and have been for countless occasions). Who would actually believe they're behind this? Especially when the syndicate is known to be corrupt/greedy and has the motive to commit such an act. It makes no sense. I doubt they would sway many people against the Scions. This does nothing but hurt their credibility. It would have made much more sense to do this quietly, not in the middle of the Victory Feast? Teledji announced to a whole room full of guests (including the LEADERS of the other city-states) that the Sultana was assassinated and then insults her her memory in front of everyone.

This is especially mindnumbing when the syndicate does a complete 180 and all of a sudden wants the Sultana's death to be "hush hush"? Ul'dah had huge raiding parties of Brass Blades and Crystal Braves scouring the streets for the WoL for "treason" and then right after the fact we can just freely walk back into Ul'dah like nothing transpired? Can it even be hushed? I don't think anything would stop people from hearing rumors of the sultana's "death", not with so many witnesses and soldiers involved. Furthermore, the syndicate does itself no favors by upsetting Limsa and Gridania. Even if they were to cooperate, they will probably always subtly work against them (or not so subtly--like we would).

Really it just seems like the syndicate set itself up for internal strife in a much greater magnitude, especially because it was carried out in such a cavalier manner. At this point, they seem like they just have everything to lose. They overplayed their hand. They even left Raubaun alive, which really won't help them much if things are going to stay quiet. My guess is Lolorito wanted something done more subtly and had always had been plotting more long term, but Teledji's actions rushed him and forced him to act more carelessly (hence his frustration or troubled countenance at the end).
