Post-Shadowbringers Speculation

[EdwinLi]

I believe that future content will include a Garlean civil war, and that we'll join forces with members of the Populares forces to liberate colonies and drive the Garleans into their own national borders. Meanwhile we'll also have to deal with Zenos trying to pick the Scions off in his attempt to continue his hunt. I believe that the hardline Garleans will team with Elidibus' new Warriors of Light and attempt to restart the Black Rose project.

I also believe that before all is said and done, Zenos will be helping us defeat Elidibus' plot, but only if we agree to an ultimate fight to the death after it's done. I think that throughout the story, we'll have encounters with Zenos, that we'll find ways to either delay or escape, and his frustration will lead to this final bargain.

I don't expect Zenos to appear until the FInale of 6.0 after we defeat Zodiark with Hydaelyn's help.

At that moment when both are at their weakest, Zenos may consume both of them this setting up the True Finale in 6.3 and one heck of a super long cutscene for the storyline's finale that may result in both Zodiark and Hydaelyn's death to make certain Zenos does not have a chance to return ever again.

The consequences for this result is still out of my knowledge but if the battle with Zenos result in a Epic battle that causes a Great Calamity that force all Shards to fuse into the Source just to prevent the World from imploding and/or exploding, I expect 6.4 and beyond may involve a New World that has no memories of Zodiark, Ascians, Hydaelyn, and Warrior of Light thus WoL continues living in a New World that still maintains all lands we know current but a bunch of new Continents been due to the New World adding all lands from all Shards that fused with the Source creating much larger World but now WoL is in that position where no one remembers the old world nor him or her just like how Emit was when the Sundering happened. However, the books that record the WoL's adventures survived but are considered Fictional Stories the "authors" came up with.

Then 6.55 may end it with WoL preparing to go on a new Adventure by joining a Expedition into the New Continents setup by the Adventurer Guild and Eorzean Alliance after going through 6.4 and 6.5 MSQ to accept his or her position in the New World thus setting up Season 2 storyline to be a "New Adventure" for 7.0+ contents (aka lvl 91+ contents).
