Revelations from Patch 4.5

[Dualblade]

So by this point everyone has said quite a bit about the patch so I'll put some thoughts for something else.

Ivalice

Specifically the Viera. After completing the raid you can talk to the Dramaturge to learn more about the Viera. One of the subjects he talks about is the difference between how males and females work in the forest and that, due to their solitary nature, we will be unlikely to EVER see a male Viera. To the point of almost saying its impossible. I wonder if this is basically saying we won't be getting Male Viera in character creation as certain leakers seem to claim. Course it could also be changed easily if you ARE playing a male Viera, or Viera in general.

On the MSQ

I'm throwing my hat in on Varis not actually being Varis but Solus shape-shifting to him. I'll also say that if Solus is doing things behind Elidibus's back it will eventually be revealed that Elidibus was aware of atleast most of his actions the whole time and has been accounting for them. Unless Lahabrea somehow comes back Elidibus will be our final Ascian boss and so far has shown himself to be the most intelligent.

As for the WoL possibly causing a flood of light in the source? I'm still not feeling it. So far there simply haven't been any actual consequences involving Light, only actions/reactions from dark sources. I'm hoping Part 2 shows actual reason for us to become a WoD because it just seems weird right now, even more so since we already know defeating the Garlean Empire and the Ascians will STILL be a main goal as a WoD.
