Revelations from Patch 4.3

[KageTokage]

Regarding the Four Lords:

I also found the whole notion that a member of a beast tribe could become an auspice a little...strange.

It makes me wonder about nature of Seiryu, considering all the pre-established lore we have for dragons. They routinely live over 1000 years and naturally are possessed of sapience and phenomenal power even before they reach that age. I suppose it's possible it may have been a more lowly sort of reptile like a snake or lizard originally.

So... with only 2 more patches, how do you think the 4 lords story will be done? Because we might need 2 lords per patch.

They've already stated that the 4.x patch cycle might go on longer then 3.x and with the expansion currently planned for late 2019, that could mean we'll be going as far as 4.8 if they stuck to the one patch per three months schedule.

Well the current set isn't blue, and the last one in HW is blue, it's very much possible we're getting another set. (Also this set was so stupid easy to craft in terms of quality needed, getting the mhigan set was way harder)

To be fair the final crafting set in ARR was green

True, but with the possibility of 4.6 or 4.7 being the end of Stormblood I wouldn't be surprised if a final blue set will finish craft/gather for SB.
