Guesses as to what the new mystery MSQ trial coming in 4.3 will be? (Spoilers)

[Theodric]

It feels too soon to fight Zenos again so I think that it'll be either Asahi or Yotsuyu. Most likely the latter given that there's almost certainly a greater story arc in mind for her given that she has survived for this long already.

[Alleo]

Do I remember it correctly and they said that this will be the last part for Doma in 4.x? Because if that is the case then my money would be on Yotsuyu.

Zenos would just be too soon and it would kinda mean that we either kill him again so soon or that we defeat him and he escapes again. I also believe that Asahi has still a part to play in the future so I cant see him dieing here too. This leaves Yotsuyu.

I still have the opinion that not both female enemies should have their redemption, so I hope that she gets her memories back and somehow turns into something bad thanks to the mirror. Maybe even something that will kill lots of people at the exchange (I hope that nothing happens to my bro Alphy T_T). We kill her, defeat Asahi and let him get away (because of reasons) and then we will have a first closure for Doma.

Yotsuyu is giving that mirror a lot of attention (it seems)... is it possible that could transform into a Primal (like Susano or something)?

It could just be part of the “identity conflict” thing, or perhaps it even has personal significance.

She could also have some kind of important information locked away in her forgotten memories, that could either trigger her remembering, or just be relevant when she regains them.

Hmm my pet theory is that stuff happens with the Mirror that makes it look like it's our fault. Ashai has all he needs to attack us or whatever other excuse. However my bet is Zenos shows up and either lets us deal with the Primal or joins us in fighting it. Then he smacks Ashai upside the head since he's getting in the way of his sport for the WoL. Unless of course the Zenos we saw is now just an Ascian puppet. Still I sort of like the idea that maybe Zenos is still our enemy but we don't fight him this time around.

Ive been hearing lots of theories on reddit about it being a continuation of the Susano-o shinto theme and could be the sun goddess or moon goddess and that it could involve Yotsuyu and the mirror! I think that'd be a super cool concept!

Tsukuyomi, the moon god (male), was born from a mirror in some versions of the myth.

The Susano summoning cutscene used all three of the sacred symbols -- the gem, the sword, and the mirror -- which became a part of him. You can see the mirror as part of one of his shoulders. So the mirror that Tsuyu has isn't that mirror. But hey, it does have a moon motif on the back, and just because it's not that mirror doesn't mean the writers won't go there anyway.

That's implying Zenos is actually Zenos and not... Elidibus.

We still don't understand the exact circumstances behind Susanoo's summoning (It didn't seem to involve any of the things usually utilized in summoning primals), and I've felt like they might try elaborate on that more in the future.

This was explained by Koji Fox shortly after Stormblood released, I think it was the lore panel at one of the fan fests. Anyway, the summoning is exactly the same the only difference is the concentration of aether. We normally see a large amount of crystals used in the summoning of a primal, because those crystals together have a high concentration of aether. However, the items in the Kojin vault have accumulated a large amount of concentrated aether, enough to summon a primal, in this case Susano. So the high concentration of aether sensing the hightened distress of the Kojin was enough to summon Susano. It's exactly the same process.

Anyways, my guess for the trial... I'd like to go off road and say Yojimbo. I know the odds are slim, but it would be cool to see him return, since SE said he would return.

Uh...Yojimbo is already the final boss in the Kugane Castle dungeon...

And my point was missed.
