Is Zenos becoming a Scion? (Spoilers)

[SecretIsland]

Now that Fanfest is over and we've all had some moment to reflect... I have a particularly crazy theory: Zenos is going to become a Scion and betray Fandaniel. He appeared in the poster for Endwalker along the Scions with a neutral/good-guy look. Yoshi P then said these are the Scions when he referred to the poster. Also, the developers have stated that Zenos is not the final boss. So I'm wondering... would Zenos be joining us? There's no other good explanation for why he's on the poster otherwise.

[Fawkes]

Yup, you figured it out.

Please explain how the actual murder hobo in this game is going to redeem himself.

He is pulling a Vegeta/Kenpachi and joining the good guys just so he can throw hands with WoL more frequently :P

Yeah when I saw the poster I had that "WTF is he doing with the Scions" reaction. I'm curious to see how they play this out.

Zenos having a full redemption arc would be a HARD thing to pull off, but this is the team that had many of us spending most of second half of Shadowbringers crying about villians being people, too. Anything is possible.

Solid point.

I'm thinking enemy of the enemy is my temporary frenemy thing maybe, though.

If Zenos became a Scion, my WoL no longer would be.

If anything, I could see Fandaniel stabbing him in the back and disregarding his desire for a perfectly orchestrated fight with us in favor of ensuring the world's destruction by misusing Zodiark in his own way, which might tick him off enough to form a very uneasy alliance with us until the pest is dealt with (Though probably not before we put him in his place again, because I'm assume we'll get to have at least one "normal" fight with him before all is said and done).

In any case, I'm just hoping things aren't going to play out predictably with him just getting his hands on Zodiark with no strings attached and us inevitably stomping him in spite of his newfound power.

He was there in stormblood's as well, but he was definitely not an ally then either!
