Well, I've been waiting for Omega vs Shinryu since 3.0 and it finally happened and sortakinda in a way I was hoping for (Nidhogg's eye), so woo. That and Nero's return are really the most enjoyable parts of the patch for me. I enjoy how Nero continued reminding us that we have a world to save and that we really shouldn't be dawdling.
But can we please, please get more Ascians? Some of us actually like them. I, for one, love the meta overarching storyline and it's what keeps me invested in the lore.
Elidibus has had so few lines over the course of 2 years, and so very few of them actually relevant, that he might well not have existed.
That being said, I'm well aware that the Ivalice storyline will likely have Altima and possibly others involved but still - that's more than 6 months away.
Also, can we finally put to rest that horrible Princess Yda theory? Finally?
Edit: Also, Thancred was mysteriously missing the entire patch. Remember what happened the last time Thancred went missing?
