6.0 Story Speculations

[Anonymoose]

You know, I gave up trying to predict stuff around 3.5 because it felt like SE had revealed most of the backed-up pre-written lore, was committing to a set of plot hooks that actually snagged something, and was writing whatever they needed to to tie them together and move forward towards a conclusion that made sense and was satisfying. That's not always conducive to foresight based on knowns and patterns, and it started to feel a little pointless to try to do anything but understand what just happened in its proper context.

But then a lot of the the stuff I was predicting before Shinryu popped out of the Wonder Ball started coming true in 5.1 to 5.3 so ... maybe it is time to be wrong for fun and profit, again, lol.

• Zenos was referred to by Fandaniel as "having it all" in italics in English and being "the possessor" in Japanese in quotes. Fandaniel has figured out what makes him unique; what Emet-Selch "found a way" to do.
• Fandaniel wanting to be Zenos's BFF the instant he decided to gun for Zodiark was not a coincidence.
• Fandaniel's ultimate goal is not simply "kill everyone."
• Fandaniel has an apocalyptic cult that is bigger than it seems. (The Telophoroi)
• Koji Fox will tie the Lambs of Dalamud to this, somehow.
• Hummingways on the Moon.
• Venat and the Twelve will play big roles. (Triple points of Gerun is addressed.)
• I used to believe we'd use Radz-at-Han as a base to march on Garlemald from the south. It gives us an opportunity to see more new stuff along the way rather than do the obvious and pincer the capitol from the bottle-necked land bridge from Aldenard and mountain pass from Othard. If the Garleans had the war without us...is that still going to be our path, but without a war? Are we mopping up? Helping survivors consolidate and turn?
