Something is gonna get blown to bits in 4.5 You got to have some suspense and drama to get those pre-orders in.

Let's see.

1.0 ended with the Calamity. Hard to top that.

ARR ended with us fleeing Ul'dah, was a shocking moment at the time but the way it resolved in HW was a let down and was mostly a return to status quo minus one arm. But between 2.55 and 3.0 it left an impression.

HW had Baelsa'rs wall and the Omega vs Shinryu fight.

I think we can definitely expect something big to happen.

If we can believe the timetraveling voice dude, another calamity might come. Depending on Varis' resolve we might get a Garlean invasion.

I don't think we'll get a full on calamity, but I am kind of hoping for an invasion for a big climactic battle in ala mhigo, and maybe wrap up some lingering plot threads there like Fordola and ilberd's two surviving lackeys.

I have a feeling Elf!Zenos is a wild card even Elidibus didn't plan for and may throw a wrench in things one way or another.

Oh definitely. Can you imagine Zenos joining the WoL to take down Elidibus and get back his old body for a rematch with us? Shit, I want to see that.

I don’t think it would necessarily work that way. Remember that body died. It’s one thing for an Ascian to possess it, and there’s a possibility it was restored to life (in that last scene of 4.2?) but not known for sure. The only thing Zenos might get out of repossessing his original body is true death.

But there are a few other ways the plot could go with putting him ‘on our side’.

As someone mentioned in another discussion, he may go after Elidibus just for the chance to be able to fight himself.

Or he may unexpectedly come to our aid because “nobody gets to kill you except me! (and I’m not ready to do that yet in this body.)”
