I hope Maxima can be my 5.0 husbando once we split with Hien.

A new evil force to fight seems too out of the blue for me. Although we gather than Garlemald itself is not that unified under the "bad people" label, the fact that we learnt the empire is built out of Ascian trickery is enough of a problem.
For me the Ghimlyt Dark will be a battlefield against Garlemald. Now the trailer seems keen to make us believ that this fight leads into the "big thing" that is 5.0. But we still have two parts for 4.5 right? What could possibly be the scenario for 4.55 if we already have fucked it all up before? I'm curious.
