Revelations from Patch 5.4

Someone noticed interesting thing about Werlyt https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...erncliff_look/

I thought it was just some cute ambience they added to Terncliff to make it feel a bit more lively, but now I'm even more depressed by the whole storyline.

Hopefully the two remaining kids win this little game of hide and seek.

Yeah, I was wondering about the kids (because Au Ra child NPCs are kind of rare), and thus noticed their colour-coding as well. Also the kids seemed unusually cheerful compared to the adults moping around.

I was deeply hoping I was merely overthinking it and it was just ambience, because omg my heart.

So with the tempering cure we found in 5.4, I have a prediction for Save the Queen in 5.45:

We will save some of the Blades from their fate with the use of the crystal foci as a macguffin to essentially make them forget they are tempered.

Apologies if someone has already said this in the thread already, I didnt read through it all.

On the subject of Bozja...

It wouldn't surprise me if they started shipping the tempering cure overseas to Eorzea's allies sooner then later, since while the crystal foci can repair/alter memories, it can't address the soul-altering component of tempering.

I feel like the whole Bozja primal issue is going to be resolved in 5.45 as both the quest names and the instance description Delubrum Reginae imply such, plus Misija and Gunnhildr in her true form as the Queen of Blades appear to be one of the Delubrum Reginae bosses in the preview trailer.

I assume we'll deal with Gabranth himself in the 5.5 finale to the storyline.

On that subject of 5.5...

Considering how much Matsuda related work is in Bozja and related to the Empire (Landis, Lea Monde, Dalmasca, etc), I'm not entirely sure we'll deal with Gabranth this expansion. Depending on how things go in 5.45's Bozjan story, Gabranth may be off the table in terms of fighting, with Menenius instead being the final boss of the Bozjan arc (since the Gunnhildr thing was his idea). While that would be pretty anti-climactic that we don't fight the Legatus himself, it could also position him to be a recurring villain that we start going up against more and more before he takes the reins of main antagonist of the story. No telling whether that'll happen or not, we'll have to wait until 5.45 to find out where the story takes us.
