[Spoilers] The Patch 4.5 Lore Discussion Thread!

There's also so many death flags raised now that I really don't know who's going to go, if anyone. I totally didn't think about the fact that Hien and Yugiri would likely be getting themselves involved in the battle, which has me more concerned about the latter then anyone else now, as she's comparatively minor in the grand scheme of things compared to the other candidates, but has had enough of a presence that her loss would still really be felt. Though to be honest, having her homecoming also be her funeral is tragic enough that I could see them going for it, especially since she's expressed a desire to return to Sui-no-sato multiple times already (In the MSQ as well as some missable dialogue).

The problem is Yugiri seemed to have been kinda pushed aside for most of Stormblood due to Hein's introduction, even though Hein is an awesome character I feel he overshadowed Yugiri's importance to the story, given she had practically been leading the Domans since their failed insurrection and their Exodus to Eorzea. Then as soon as she returns to Doma suddennly Hein appears and from then on she takes a back seat to him. I would have liked far more screen time with her in SB but I guess it was always fated that her day in the sun wouldn't last, given Hein is Doma's heir and all, where as Yugiri was an exile from under the Ruby Sea.

I think she's still had as much, if not more screen time then any of the previously offed characters despite being put on the backburner after Hien's introduction.

Still, she could realistically have a role in the campaign against the Garleans, so I'd like to hope we'll be seeing more of her in 5.x.

The japanese voice of the Shadowhunter really sounds like Akio Otsuka (the VA of Gaius and Gabranth from FFXII), so I guess it is confirmed-er-ish?

I didn't know Gaius was Snake all this time. No wonder he was able to conceal his supposed death so easily.
