I'm hoping that we get to see a
Cid, Gaius and Nero reunion at some point, a lot of tension there!

I'm quite happy they tied the Garleans into the Clockwork City of Goug. Basically, I've always kinda disliked the idea that the main reason the Empire are technologically advanced is because of Allagan relics. Obviously the relics helped move the Empire forward, but even before they reverse engineered the relics, and even before Solus learned how to magitek, they come from a technologically advanced society. It just adds an extra layer of appreciation of what the Garleans have built.
