Revelations from SHADOWBRINGERS

[Alleo]

You miss understand what i mean by Season 2 storyline.

I am not talking about a Reset of the game itself but a new Storyline that will continue the Story of the Warrior of Light but is not related to the Zodiark vs Hydaelyn War we are currently in since Season 2 storyline will be set a X or Y amount of Time after the Finale of Season 1 (most likely going to be 6.0 Expansion due to what 5.0 has setup in the 5.0 Finale) where Zodiark and the Ascians have been finally defeated at long last. Thus a new storyline that takes place after Zodiark/Ascian's defeat and open the door to go into the lands beyond Eorzea as Adventurers where stronger enemies we have yet to fight are while meeting new friends and old allies in this world were we are no longer have to worry about Zodiark and Ascians. Still got to worry about the New Main Antagonist for Season 2 storyline though but who knows what SE may create as the New Antagonist once Zodiark and the Ascians are defeated.

Oh thats how you mean it. Well maybe we wont need a new big bad (I always found it strange to suddenly introduce another new level of enemy after the big bad is done) and can be fine with just being adventurers. Honestly I would at least not have any problems with us just being an adventurer and then saving and helping people along the way. Of course that may feel a bit less grand after we defeat the Ascians but I am fine with that. Heck they could even use the shard as a way to introduce more new continents or maybe we do get the ability to travel between realms and each expansion then takes place on a new shard. I just dont feel the need to bring us down in power.

Something I keep remembering-and-forgetting to post about Varis...

Back in 4.5 we were theorising about him possibly being possessed by Emet, especially in the second half of the meeting. During that scene when we start to press him about the Ascians, he exclaims something like "now you're starting to ask the right questions!".... and then Emet himself says the same thing or close to it, I think when we were looking at the murals.

Someone also suggested at some point that from the previous zodiac associations, Emet is linked with Gemini and there might be potentially two of him?

But then that doesn't really seem to tie in with how it ended.

I think that might have been a red hering or they wanted us to speculate. Maybe this another scene that is more clear in japanese? (Since the english version likes to make some things more mysterious) I for example never thought that this was Emet, for me it was just a way to show that yes Varis is a bad guy and now he is doing the bad guy face. Others may have wanted it to be Emet so that Varis could still turn out to be somehow a grey character that would fight on our side.
