Revelations from Patch 5.2

[Evraeh]

MSQ :

I must be honest, I hoped for more answers there and we got a lot more questions instead, that is fine but when will we have real answers ? For me, (yet we didn't see the 5.22?) I found that patch not satisfying, really.

I liked all but I was hoping to see more of Elidibus, Ancients, etc... Even the cutscene with Zenos is "ok, you're dreaming of Amaurote, but what ?" Why it's so important ? Even if Zenos can see the apocalypse of the Ascians, what that will change for him if he just want to get Zodiark's power ? The CS isn't enough for 4 months to wait again. I really wanted to see more of him.

About the Echo, Hydaelyn's star shower is giving to her futur champions the power of the Echo ? So we aren't special at all, are we ? We could be the 14th Ascian or whatever, the Echo could be for everyone who is ready to wield it.
Still, the 14th looks like to be the one who wanted to be neutral, didn't want to join with Zodiark's side nor Hydaelyn's one. Could we really be that one ? I mean if we wanted to be neutral, why are we on Hydaelyn's side ? Did we take position or ... ? Hydaelyn doesn't talk with us since 3.4. Why so much silence ? I was hoping to "hear" her once more and have at least a little talk but no.

Only me saw how the "White Shiva" looks like Hydaelyn ? When she teleports you in the "Cristal phase", she looks so much like the Hydaelyn's kick.

There are a lot of references in that fight.

Probably due to Ryne's connection to Hydaelyn and her association of ice as the closest element to pure Light, Heritor Shiva seems to change between two forms - Shiva and Hydaelyn.

Hydaelyn-Ryne appears to have the "wings" that we saw in the only confirmed image of Hydaelyn we've seen - the one on the mural deep within the Qitana Ravel. Other than that, her appearance brings to mind the "mother Goddess" everyone believed Hydaelyn to be. Her super move is called "Shattered World," like what Hydaelyn did to defeat Zodiark, and like you said has her stomping the battlefield just like the mural shows Hydaelyn doing to Zodiark. The DPS check phase has you stopping a "Flood of Light" by stopping elemental sprites from being absorbed by crystals heavily resembling miniaturized versions of Hydaelyn's "Great Crystal" form, and you're granted extra power for a minute (as the "Blessing of Light") if you keep the meter at 0. You have to stop another "Flood of Light" in the final phase of the battle with Gaia's assistance.

Shiva-Ryne, on the other hand, is pretty much Shiva as channeled by Ryne instead of Ysayle. Always dual-wields sabers instead of switching between one saber, a staff, and a bow.

The Hydaelyn elements of Heritor Shiva are way more dangerous than the Shiva elements!
