Predictions for 5.3?

[JeanneOrnitier]

I'm scared what this could mean for G'raha Tia... it looked like his entire arm is glowing and turning to crystal! Why? Are we going to loose him in this patch? I want him to have a happy ending damnit!

I have a probably fleeting hope that even if something happens to Exarch-G'raha, Sleeping Source-G'raha will wake up. Not exactly the same person after everything the Exarch's been through, but still a G'raha.

I have a probably fleeting hope that even if something happens to Exarch-G'raha, Sleeping Source-G'raha will wake up. Not exactly the same person after everything the Exarch's been through, but still a G'raha.

I have a feeling this maybe what they go for.

probably going for the concept of "no two beings from past and future can exist in the sametime" which would explain why Exarch could not crossover because his younger self exists in the Source.

I am only guessing but I have always assumed Exarch did not vanish because he is in the First and in the First he has no past nor future counterpart to take his place in the new timeline. Only in the Source does a counterpart exists to replace him in the new timeline being his younger self thus probably why he continued to exist in the First but cannot enter the Source.
