My initial reaction while standing in the Hall (number of seats, SE? What's that about?), was that perhaps "Matoya" is a title, and that is the reason for her close relationship with Y'shtola all these years. She wasn't simply training her, but training a replacement or successor?


And on Gunbreaker, I wondered if the abilities mentioned might not be the old Weapon Break / Armour Break etc from previous games.



Lastly, at the risk of stirring the pot, the robed figure on the right of the artwork, with the straps and ornate bangles on the wrist... well, it's a little like the original Bard AF hands, and Bard is all about performance, which is.... maybe a bit like... dancing?
