Do you think that the Twelve will eventually become major players in the plot?

This reminded me of one line during the 2.0 storyline where Gaius (I think it was him anyway, it's been a while) compared the Twelve to the Primals.

Nabriales, before his fight, mentions the staff's how Louisoux called upon the Twelve, IIRC. That what you mean?

Also, I'd point to the Twelve as primal figures. They're only brought into the world via a large concentration of aether and humanity's prayers. It's possible they'll have some major part their own, possibly an expac about them specifically, but they either need to have a miniscule part or a huge focus on them. The lore states they've mostly abandoned humanity. If they show up out of nowhere, devs really can't involve them without trivializing that.

Am I the only one hoping the Twelve are aspects of Hydaelyn, and that there's at SOME POINT a battle involving them to get aetheric power back to Hydaelyn? With them being fought or fought for.

I dunno...even if the Twelve did abandon us they could conceivably do an entire expansion around us finding out why they abandoned us and convincing them to come back. That would probably make for a very interesting plot point actually.
