The Road to 5.0

[Lauront]

I'm usually utterly terrible at predicting and interpreting these prophecies of things to come in the game so I'm not even going to try this time around, other than agreeing it does seem disturbingly ominous. (Although I hope ultimately it does involve Zodiark and the Ascians final demise....). But as they say, we'll find out soon enough.

Just bear in mind an imbalance of Light/Darkness will result in the world being destroyed, or at least being rendered unrecognisable. This happened to the world now known as the Void, which Igeyorhm plunged into Darkness, and also Arbert's homeworld, where the Light became so powerful it is searing the world. Neither are optimal. So, ending Zodiark without somehow ending Hydaelyn will have the same result... and if Hydaelyn ends, at the least the Blessing of Light will be forfeit. Possibly the Echo as well. Though maybe the Resonance will help solve that. We'll probably need it for whatever villains come up in 6.0 and maybe 7.0.

Yoshi-P may be toying with us, after all, but I think they've thrown plenty of hints now at the theme of the upcoming expansion and its likely setting.
