Anyway..

I think it's entirely possible that Lyse might die. She's disliked by many, and Square might be willing to repeat a Minfilia to get rid of dead weight with her.
I like Lyse.... she's been one of my favorite characters. BUT personal opinions aside, she's already been largely written out of the story with her becoming the leader of Ala Mhigo. We'll only really interact with her now when the story takes us back there, similarly to how we only interact with Hien or Aymeric when we're dealing with the goings on of Doma or Ishgard. Killing of Lyse would only lead them to have to make more quests resolving the absence of a leader in that nation.

Also we can rule out Alisaie and Alphinaud since they were already in the teaser trailer for 6.0 and I would say Y'shtola is safe because of plot armor. (She's been dying since 3.1 but they seem to have handwaved her using her own aether to see killing her) I also agree with an earlier post that no one from the trust system is going to be killed off. So as far as characters of any significance goes, the main ones are probably Krile and Tataru. Though it's also possible it's someone who was a minor character before who gets build up in the story now only do die at the end of the patch, or who gets introduced only to die (see also Moenbryda)
