Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

On Sharlayan knowing:

Since "they would know" if the Final Days are upon us, does this mean that Sharlayan Astrologians will become part of the MSQ or will they ignore them? I guess our Sharlayan AST trainer in Ishgard will be totally ignored and we can't ask her for help due to MSQ/side story time bubble shenanigans? An easy way in for those that haven't started doing AST could be a rumour from one of the Houses of a Sharlayan petitioning their teachings to other Astrologians maybe?

Also, that sudden disowning shocked me, and I hope the twins' mother give him an earful when she learns of this.

On the Dreamer and Garlemald tower:

As others have said, I think it may be a reference to the Dream of the Fayth from FFX, and Anima?

The gate of the gods is most likely a portal to the moon and reside in the tower in Garlemald I think.

The gun-scythe looked cool.

The establishment of a new alliance:

That table and room seem to grow each time they have a meeting, or does the palace just have many rooms filled with tables of convenient sizes? Also, it kind of bothered me that all the non-Beast Tribe people were sitting, and none of the Beast Tribe representatives had a place to sit, even on some pillows, but I guess there were animation reasons.

That bothered me too.

I know it's a matter of not having chair sitting animation for them, but there could have at least been some cushions. Some of those tribes definitely have ground sitting animations.

At the very least everyone else in the room should have stood up too. It felt super weird watching the nation leaders sitting around making "we need to work together as one" speeches to the beast tribes who literally weren't even offered a seat at the table.
