Patch 3.4 - Soul Surrender

[Cilia]

But did they say that Xelphatol is a MSQ dungeon?

No; I get the feeling that Gubal (Hard) is going to be the MSQ dungeon this time around and Xelphatol is going to be the first 3.x "patch" new dungeon that isn't MSQ. (Well, after St. Moccaine's, which was a bit of a letdown because it wasn't MSQ if you ask me.)

As for the ominous patch title... holy crabs but I'm going to take a "wait and see" approach before committing to anything. People thought a 3.1 MSQ quest titled "Against the Dying of the Light" was super scray, but it ended up being... well, a bit scray but not for the reasons we anticipated (Aymeric biting it vs. religious fanatics trying to maintain Ishgard's status quo using any possible means).

Interesting they're putting Sophia before Zurvan. The Triad is usually listed in order of "Fiend, Demon, Goddess." Disappointed no images!

Looks like I'm going to have to put away the cyborg ninja'ing for a day or so to finally finish T5-14... or maybe I won't so I can document the differences... I'm in a bit of a dilemma as a cyborg ninja anyway... and the oppression is real, folks...

Excited to finally get to punch Darklander's smug prick face in, unless this ends up being like your standard shonen manga and we get thrashed by them again!

Not much else to do but wait with bated breath.

I feel it's the opposite. Hard mode dungeons are never linked to future stories in the MSQ.

Yeah, but there's no reason they can't mix it up. Besides, we know Elidibus, Darklander, Urianger, and Alisae have all been seen in a post-patch stinger there, and with all that eldritch and forbidden lore, it feels like a vastly underutilized asset since all we did was jump in and get the designs for a magitek battering ram.

It just feels like it'll be MSQ relevant, y'know?
