Revelations from Patch 5.3

[SaitoHikari]

I am... really not seeing this apothecary/chemist job a lot of people are EXTREMELY SURE OF.

Same here.

On Alisae and Alphinaud's future...

Alisae is dropping heavy hints that she's going to get a class change soon, probably as a preview to a new job next expansion. But I can't be the only one thinking that Alphinaud is due for a class change too. I personally think Bard fits him extremely well given his artistic tendencies and skills as an orator, plus the mental image of him pulling out a bow after a scathing lecture and smiting some fools with a Refulgent Arrow is hilarious.

Archers are the only original class not yet represented by the major Scions or allies.

Ironically,

G'raha was the original representative Archer, but dropped the bow in favor of the all-rounder role he had as the Exarch.

I was watching that end scene hoping he would march up with a bow, or get like a special bow-staff so we'd have our first representative of a true arcane archer in all of FF.

Though I understand why he switched to being a caster, being an archer no longer suits his role in the story.

Also theories on future plot threads...

We've probably learned all we can about Amaurot at this point. Since the story revealed that we are basically a reincarnation of Azem the wanderer, along with the implication of today's societies worshiping an aspect of Azem through similar names like Azyema and Azim, I think the story leading up to the expansion and beyond might move into the topic of other ancient societies and how Azem left their mark on them.

I'm not so sure about that.
Zenos keeps dreaming about the last days of Amaurot, which is why I think the topic will come up again not far in the future.
