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

This seems like the place to ask....

But when you finish Zadnor, it says "field notes updated" ... sadly I didn't remember them well enough to figure out what ones actually updated, but if there are ones that are different before, and after.... anybody find them? (like the DRK job quests, heh).

There is a very slim chance that you may have collected FR 43 (Dabog), 44 (Lyon) and 45 (Menenius) before completing Dalraida. If you managed to get them before doing so they just have "※A certain quest must be completed to view further information in this entry."

If the Gabanth plot is seemingly open ended, this could be some upcoming trial series for Endwalker. Lyon has those powerful pets that could be a boss for each one.

I was under the impression that it was a faked death because I really don't want to believe the devs would go with "tell don't show." You know, the absolute worst type of storytelling.

It's extremely similar to the same technique that the Imperial Shadows' true leader used to escape his countrymen.

As someone who found the NIN quests interesting, this immediately caught my attention. If I recall, Oboro never did reveal the truth to others. Which means people might not know to look for the trick.

Honestly, I'd be happy if we see Gabaranth's fate tied to the EW's deep dungeon story, which will certainly be a very self-contained story, as opposed to the abrangent one in Save the Queen. However, I have no idea if it will tie directly to Dalmasca... because it seems like they want to resolve her liberation offcamera.

Plus, Lyon and Pagaga duo. I'd really love to see that Lalafell's character explored!

Is participating in the Dalmascan Resistance the next leg of this story? It felt pretty clear to me that we are beyond revolutions and nation building. The ending with Balsaljen ruminating on Misija and the fact that both factions in the story line wanted a new nation seems to put that theme of the story telling to bed, as it has been earned.

What isn't resolved, and will not be resolved by the ending of 6.0 either, is the terrible legacy of the Allagan Empire. The machines and weapons that continue to appear, how they corrupt living souls and create monsters, and how the Ultima weapon (intended pun on ultimate, as it is by far the weakest) barely scratches the surface of the scope of machines. Then we have the cliffhanger of Gabranth and Lyon getting weapons from the Allagan dig site, note that one is a axe and Lyon uses an axe, showing that the real threat has only escalated and hasn't been resolved. They literally had the WOL and Mikoto go to the other Allagan weapon that manifested Queen Gunnhildr before showing the player more weapons have been found. This was intentional.

Dalmasca has come up pretty often too as a place players would like to visit. It seems pretty clear that Dalmasca needed to be liberated off screen so that next staging area of the content, weather we have a new relic quest line or this is the plot of 7.0, can be manifested and easily explained. Furthermore, the WOL has eliminated the major threats to their nation building and isn't needed per say. But the WOL would be needed if Allagan artifacts are manifesting other worldly monsters and threaten the post 6.0 story world and the new nations of Bojza and Dalmasca.

Here is to hoping Dalmasca gets to be a city like Kugane or the Crystarium.

Regardless of how we are supposed to interpret this post ending lore, it's confusing to why its been implemented this way.
To have a long, animated cutscene set out a bunch of plot points (Noah terminally ill, new weapons, etc) only then to have someone hand you a note that says 'legion ded, Noah ded, all resistance winz, gg' is so jarring. Why even bother making the cutscene?

Also not everybody reads the field notes. Can imagine a couple of 'what ever happened to Lyon & Noah???' forum posts in a year or so.

[BlitzAceRush]

I would assume the cutscenes were done first, likely with the intention of there being more, perhaps another zone or some extra quests or content like Yorha got, but then it ended up not happening, so the notes were used to push things to where they needed to be for the potential continuation. As for why they still used the cutscenes, likely just didn't want to throw out finished work.

I think we won't see those forum posts because we will meet with Lyon again, and we will see the event in an echo flashback.
I also think that the two weapons will be used by Lyon and Pagaga and we will see those again.
The only part that really bothers me about all of it is the 'resistance wins' part...
