So then it's now obvious what the trial to end the Resistance Weapon questline will be. HYPE.

I like the added touch of the Construct-type enemies found here, after the IVth took them from Goug in that cutscene at the end of Ivalice.

Llofii pyr Potitus's profile confirms that there are Miqo'te in Dalmasca.

Least we know of at least one Far Eastern population of Miqo'te now (if the profile specifies that they're a native population at least). Now to see if SE will ever specify where them Far Eastern Lalafell are supposed to come from.

Am I the only shocked by the giant crystal crater to the south that was where Bozja Citadel use to stand?

[KageTokage]

Haven't actually finished the Bozja storyline yet (Mostly because there aren't enough people available to finish the final assault on the castrum), but...

confirmation that the legions other then the XIIth have access to the Resonant technology seems like something that's liable to become a problem in 6.x.

So it occurs to me that if there's going to be a final battle that might be a Queen Gunnhildr-inspired primal...

Nice work sneaking female Hrothgar into your boss-design budget when it didn't fit into the NPC one, SE.

It says she was born in Valnain. I guess since she's 19 (and thus after the occupation) it could have just been to Garlean soldiers stationed there, but Dalmasca having a native Miqo'te population seems the simpler answer to me.

Her name is 100% Garlean, including Garlean title and Garlean sounding surname. Her first name doesn't conform to sun seeker standards, so her being born to station Garlean soldiers is the more likely scenario. But 25% of Dalmasca's racial makeup is "Other" so there still could be room somewhere though.

Her first name doesn't conform to sun seeker standards

I'm not sure about that. The surrounding structure is Garlean but I could definitely see "Llofii" being a standard Seeker given name, and there's a "S'llooni" at the Gold Saucer so there's at least some precedent for a name beginning with double-L.

Compare Loonh Gah (originally U'loonh) of the Brotherhood of Ash. She's kept her given name but has adopted Amalj'aan naming conventions beyond that.

Also compare Asahi who wouldn't have been born Asahi sas Brutus.

So "personally took a Garlean name" would certainly be an option.

More elaboration on this from the rank 9 quest:

I'm really enjoying the story so far. I like how Bozja, while probably better off before the empire than it was under it, was still not a perfect idyllic kingdom. It was corrupt with a dramatic and abused class divide between nobility and commoners. Misija outright calls it an oligarchy.
