I love the Hildy storyline, it makes me feel like I'm playing a classic RPG and takes me away from the grind of tomes and such. SO totally excited for him and that Gigi haha taking after Godbert~
How about that new trial though?
I feel like it's probably a major part to do with Nidhogg/Estinien. They didn't show the name obviously for spoiler reasons, so I'm doubtful we'll be seeing Goddess or Demon--they would have a huge announcement and a patch based off of them (probably). I'm thinking it'll be like the Chrysallis where we have to fight Estinien and the 2nd stage will be him transforming into Nidhogg or something. If so, perhaps the new dungeon will be us fighting a new general of Nidhogg's.
The yokai stuff doesn't quite fit but then again we have a slime king helmet(dragon quest) and a few things along those lines. Perhaps with this they'll add more stuff that is a little 'lore breaking' considering we now have cartoons in a mainly realistic themed world.
Lastly I am stoked for the next installment of Void Ark.
Maybe we will be fighting the Queen that Diabolos took at the end of the first raid. I definitely would like to see more of him.
And I pray to the content gods that they give us decent/cool looking outfits for the raid gear. Some of the tome gear and such we've gotten is just plain ugly. I'd love to see more unique outfits like the original Soldiery n stuff.
