Patch 5.4 Trailer, Predictions, and Hints

[Vyrerus]

I think that Fandango is setting up the towers we see that look almost like Mhach style Voidsent towers. I believe he intends to enact total planetary wide devastation via a Lunar Cry of sorts, that breaks the seal on Zodiark, so that he may be turned over to Zenos. Of course, the moon falling will also devastate much of the planet, basically re-enacting the Final Days.

As far as the Bozja raid goes, I don't know what to expect. I'm also confused as to why Misjia is wearing mook armor.

I can't decide whether or not Merlwyb confronting the Kobolds is integral to the strange void-like towers plot or if it's red herring.

What do the Floating City of Nym and The Lochs have in common, if anything?

Both are sitting on top of a vast body of water. Not sure this means anything though.

You can see a small kobold in between the two, probably Ga Bu. Is she returning Ga Bu as a 'show of good faith' to try and end hostilities? Depending on whether or not the solo instance is before or after, this might end very badly. And why are they returning Ga Bu? Is it indeed something to do with the towers? or do they appear later?

Nothing much. Lochs have Skalla, which was another city-state in the 5th Astral Era, but not something on the level of Nym, Mhach or Amdapor
