Revelations from Patch 4.3

Re. Yotsuyu

But it wasn't necessary. Not in the least. Even with the things we learned by Echoing into Asahi, even with Alphinaud's new role as envoy, the end result is still less than what we would have gotten, which is the actual cessation of hostilities between Doma and Garlemald. Not only was Asahi's agreement never put in writing, the return trip was cut mercilessly short. All that's left is for someone on our side to find out that Alphi never made it to Garlemald and the partying is going to be cut way short.

You seem to be assuming here that the peace deal would have gone ahead successfully if not for Yotsuyu's interruption, but I suspect that's not the case. Not when the offer of a peace deal is an element of whatever scheme Elidibus is orchestrating.

I don't believe they ever intended to go through with the peace deal, but rather to offer it while arranging circumstances that could be blamed on Doma and then say that the deal is off.

Goading Yotsuyu to breaking point and convincing her to summon a primal was part of the plan - but one that was unreliable if her memories couldn't be triggered, so there had to be a backup plan if Asahi had no choice but to go through with the peace deal and prisoner trade.

It seems that the attack on the airship was that backup plan - and "the prince" had ordered the ground troops to leave none alive. (Perhaps even Asahi would have been expendable at this point.)

No survivors means nobody to contradict the story that it was the Domans who sabotaged the airship, killing the Garlean ambassador and their released prisoners, and voiding the peace deal.

Fortunately for us, Shadowhunter was a completely unforseen wrench in the works.

On a side note, I saved footage of that last solo event battle, and can rewatch it on my PS4, but it gives an error code if I try to copy that particular video file to USB. It seems they may have locked it down so people can't upload the footage to Youtube? I assume this is what they were talking about when they said that we'd have to pay attention because we couldn't revisit some things.
