Completely random, unfounded stab in the dark for beyond even 3.4: Alisae returns to the party and spends a good deal of screentime building a rapport with her brother, and the big cliffhanger for 3.55 (assuming we get additional MSQ like we did last time) is the Alphinaud somehow becomes separated from us and imperiled, which sets up Alisae as our primary "sidekick" for 4.0 as we search for her brother in addition to al the inevitable liberating/primal slaying we end up doing.

Also Deftarm should join our party because reasons.
