3.4 speculation

[Theodric]

It's possible that Lahabrea will return, I suppose, but it wouldn't sit well with me for him to come back only to...die again. Plus there's already not enough time spent fleshing out the current batch of antagonists - it's happening at a very slow pace or in the case of most of the Heaven's Ward we didn't really get to see their thoughts and feelings.

One of the reasons as to why I like Regula and Elidibus so much is because they get a decent amount of focus and they're not just subjected to the increasingly dull plot point that is the Warrior of Light showing up and ending them immediately. I've outlined in other threads why I find Primals/Eikons to be hollow threats for precisely that reason - they're summoned and then often don't really achieve anything beyond looking cool. Then the WoL swoops in, kills them and they don't even Temper any of our allies to force us to put them down and endure psychological warfare.
