MSQ
One of the things I'd been wondering about was what legion Asashi was a tribune of. Looks like we have our answer. Funnily enough, we never seen any of the 12th Legion's Tribunes in the 4.0 MSQ... This also puts a different spin on Yotsuyu being the Viceroy of Doma. I'm really wondering now if it had nothing to do with who she was (other then that she hated Doma) and more to do with what Asashi (and Zenos) thought she was capable of. I'm getting the feeling Yotsuyu and Asashi's relationship is complicated.

Asashi makes me think of Fordola if Zenoes had really succeeded in breaking her. Like, even with everything Fordola went though, the person she really hates after all this time is herself. Asashi... I'm not getting that from him at all. From what we see in the Echo flashback, Asashi was firmly in the "everything would go smoother if Doma surrendered to the Empire" mindset already. Zenos just cemented it by proving he was stronger then everyone else.

TBH, I'm fine with Asashi not being a "good Garlean". It'd feel redundant with what's going on with the Garleans in the Prima Vista. Also... he's not even Garlean? I think the last person we saw who wasn't a Garlean and really supported Garlemald (as opposed to supporting them even when they hated it) was the Ivy. So I think it'll be great in terms of exploring why non-Garleans would honestly want to be the Empire.

And Zenos is back... no wonder Varius didn't react that badly to it. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't show up in 4.3 asking us to do a proper job of killing him this time. *grabs popcorn and settles back to watch all the unwanted rival anime tropes roll in*

I'd almost say Ascians but... Elidibus has had a body since 2.1. Unless yet another new Ascian shows up in 2.55, I personally am not going that route.


Omega
Okay... I think we've seen Midgardsormr actually get pissed for once. Where was this reaction when the Allagans were building their capitol next to Silvertear and killing off the real Bahamut? Making sure they didn't find Hrasvelgr, Ratatoskr and Nidhogg's eggs?

I find it interesting that the data-logs specifically mention that the only way the Allagans got Omega to power down after imprisoning Bahamut was by putting it in temporal stasis and that it took a lot of their resources to do it. What do we need to do, stick Omega inside Alexander?

Nero is totally pulling another "that one time I almost got swallowed up by the Void" isn't he? And apparently Omega thinks he's more worth going after then Cid is...


The Four Lords
So... what exactly determines how long something lives? The way Byakko talks, it sounds like whatever it is that made him special had already started working long before Tenzen met him. Tenzen's Crystal of Light only made him and the other lords even more powerful.

Huh... The way the auspices talk about themselves reminds me of the stories the Vanu Vanu (specifically the Zundu tribe) tell about Bismark and why they know the primal Bismark isn't the real one. Actually, Rhamu fits this even better, as he was the one who gave the Sylphs the Lightnight crystal that they give you. Wonder how many of the other primals could be based on members of whatever species living long enough to become an auspice. Or even things like The Twelve, Nhaama and Azim, etc.


Fractal Continuum
I'm really wondering weather the Ultima Beast came first or all the Ultima Weapon (prototypes). Those horns on it look very familiar (looks at PC's Ultima Horns)...
