Tbh, it is really weird that this info is in missable dialog. I missed this one dialog and story outcome was totally different. Also, everyone else needed porxie to transfer souls and there was no porxie with Exarch...

On another missable dialog, it was really sweet of Urianger to miss Emet-Selch in Ocular too (he better make his minion >.> ).

I've been thinking about Rising event and while the minstrel's song is about past, perhaps his words about balance of elements and facing new dawn have something to do with the future.

Could ancient city/country across the pond where calamity began be in current Meracydia? What if Azem was counted as deserter because they went there to help?

On unrelated note, we get submarines to travel to Polynesia, what's the counterpart here?
