I'm kind of hoping 6.0 resolves both the conflict with Garlemald and the Ascians but at the same time reveals that there's a bigger problem at hand that had only been barely kept in check by Zodiark/Hydaelyn and ends up being unleashed due to Zenos' meddling.

I think it would be a good twist if we actually end up cooperating with the remaining Ascians in a bid to simply to save the world after our little conflict of ideals reaches its end.
