Good to see some forward movement on the Sharlayan front, I guess. And they've outright announced Minfilia will be involved, which axes my theory that they'd be saving her for last.

Am I looking forward to it? Reluctantly.
One, that means since I started 2.0 in Gridania then I'll officially relocate the scions in reverse order which I was introduced to them.
Two, The Garlens are almost unjustly one uped constantly by the Warrior of Light's Deus Ex Machina ability, or worse Cid Ex Machina. So sadly unless the Warriors of Darkness or Ascians team up with them again it's possible they will never be in a winning position so long as they seek Eorzea. Real world conquerors has similar problems trying to conquer Russia and India way back when. It never ended well.
Finally, I wonder if this will lead up to Sharlyon Proper becoming an antagonistic force? I don't like them simply because they hoard knowledge and refuse to use it for anyone's benefit save possibly their own. And allegedly their powers over magic rival if not surpassed Garlemauld's mastery of technology.
