I had already moved from Team "It might be G'raha incidentally (while most of the evidence used to support the claim ends up incidentally false) " to Team "The G'raha theory has legs to stand on now." and then Ishikawa-san plugged the Crystal Tower story arc as a way to understand more about Shadowbringers. The Crystal Tower story arc didn't have too many extra tendrils and I think the chances of Allagan bloodlines and Dalamud applying to Shadowbringers are slim, and Nero's beepy boi doesn't have explaning power, so that pretty much just leaves everyone's favorite and/or most punchable mancatte.

Though characters at the intersection of "Created by Ishikawa" and "beloved by fans" have a survival rate in roughly the Sean Bean zone, so that doesn't bode well.
