Predictions for 5.3?

Still, it will certainly be a full circle if the price of saving everything from Zodiark for good is to become forgotten by everyone to a point that they can only remember a being of light once more but this time they will never regain their memories of what the WoL looks like thus why the stories preserved for future generations may always use Default Derplander to describe the Warrior of Light in their stories.

I really hope not. I don't know why but just the idea breaks my heart. That idea, while poetic and artistic, I rather quit the game than see that happen. It takes me all the way back to the first FF game. They did so much good but in the end were forgotten because it never happened? Not the same thing, I know, that all the good we did will survive but our faces and names disappear? I don't know about anyone else but that idea doesn't sit well with me at all.

Not all stories will end with a happy ending but sometimes that is the price that must be paid to protect those people care about or are at least worth protecting.

Still if it goes down that path it also opens up a addition to Season 2 plot to reforge a new relationship with the Scions in a Zodiark/Ascian free world. Though a part of me expect that the Scions may disband at the end of Season 1 so each character can pursue their own life now that the threat of Ascians and Zodiark are gone.

This also brings up another thing I have been thinking about being if Sharlayan is not part of 6.0 expansion then it would be a interesting choice for 7.0 Expansion being the first place we adventure into to begin our Season 2 Journey. A reasonable assumption because Sharlayan only remained isolationists due to the Garlean Empire but with the Garlean Empire's true defeat on 6.0 - 6.3 MSQ it is fitting for them to open their gates in 7.0.

It would also fit providing a MSQ reason why WoL reunites with specific members of the Scions that may have returned to Sharlyan after the Season 1 Finale and have them join WoL in Season 2 journey even if they don't remember WoL due to his/her sacrifice. Yet it may become a journey to bring about new memories and friendship that will this time stay.
