[5.55 Bozja spoilers] Additional post-ending Bozja story hidden in the field record

[Anonymoose]

I saw it as a Please look forward to the third act., myself. Matsuno-san doesn't strike me as the kind of storyteller that adds

It is believed that the legatus had sustained injuries in battle with the Dalmascan resistance and was recuperating at the time, and that after an exchange of words, Gabranth accepted his fate before Lyon delivered the fatal blow. The assassin then set the room ablaze before fleeing Castrum Valnaini with his accomplice.

with the intent that it be closure; that looks like laying groundwork, lol.

Especially with the specific time-push in them notes, something the MSQ has yet to ever do in non-vague terms.

Curious if that delay has anything to do with lampshading the time we'll spend completing 6.0, lol.

I'm not really questioning that they've clearly left the door open for a possible future continuation, although they could just as easily leave it as-is. The story of the assassination reeks of BS, I don't think Lyon would do it. My point is more how bizarre it is to relegate a major event like the liberation of Dalmasca to a field note, ESPECIALLY if they're planning to continue the story. Doubly so because in the ending cutscene, Fran tells us how she hopes for us to join her in freeing Dalmasca. It's just so weird. If they continue the story, how are they going to handle this massive event essentially being spoiled in advance? Ignore it? Have us go through the liberation even though they've already said what happens? It's so weird.

I also have mixed feelings about the idea of a future piece of content that's locked behind all of Ivalice AND all of Bozja. It's going to end up as a second MSQ at this rate.
