Othard!

[SaitoHikari]

I'm trying to come up with a feasible scenario to explain how the player character ends up on the other side of the known world. Considering that it's somewhat implied that Yugiri's arrival to Eorzea was a rather difficult journey, I'm not entirely sure the player character is going all the way over there willingly seemingly out of nowhere.

Like, I think there's a possibility that we end up in a scenario where the Garleans actually capture us (which would lead to a plot point where someone close to the player character wonders why Hydaleyn wouldn't intervene in any way - likely because the Ascians aren't involved, like how she didn't really do anything to stop the massacre at the Waking Sands and the Ul'dah feast, even if a possessed Thancred was responsible for the former and that she MIGHT have wanted the latter to happen anyway because of her plans for Minfillia). But instead of outright executing us, the Garleans decide we're way too useful to be killed, and they want to try converting us since we've only ever seen things from the side of the Eorzea Alliance. They ship us off to Othard to see for ourselves how the Garleans have improved the quality of life of the people over there - only to be freed by rebels that know Yugiri soon after arrival, with her arriving later (due to hearing about the WoL being in Othard through that eagle seen in the cinematic, assuming it's used to pass messages).

Well they said we will meet the NPC that will take us to Orthad in 3.55 Main Scenario. We know so far Orthad is the level 61 to 65 areas but if I have to guess it may involve our actions with the use of Omega weapon causing people to lose trust in the WoL thus forcing the WoL into a short outcast moment and leave to orthad where the WoL will develop, grow, and find new allies and return (around 8 to 12 months later since it is a 2 month trip by ship to Orthad and another 2 month trip back to Eorzea by ship plus we don't know how long story wise the WoL will be in orthad during level 61 to 65) to Eorzea to final free Ala Mhigo. Of course there will be "developments" during the time the WoL is missing from Eorzea.
