[SPOILERS] No one seems to be talking about that OTHER huge event

[EdwinLi]

The monologue from Elidibus on the moon made it seem like he's just given up. Everything's gone completely off the rails, he's lost his last two real companions, and he can't predict where things will go from here. Might as well spill the beans to Zenos, hope that he screws up the Source as badly as possible, and try to kill the WoL purely out of spite towards Hydaelyn.

At this point I think it is safe to say the story may go in a completely different direction away from Zodiark considering how out of hand this are now.

No one has control and no one knows where things will ended up. The only thing Elidibus can do now is send "Warriors of Light" to kill or prevent the Scions from returning to the Source since Zenos is going for Kefka now and he may become someone so threatening he threatens both Zodiark and Hydaelyn's existence due to how crazy he is.

As for Garlean Empire, i can see the storyline falling into a Civil War story arc in Garlemald for 6.0.

Of course there is the question of who will be our new Allies for this Civil War and who will be our newly introduced enemies.
