6.0 Story Speculations

[YianKutku]

Well, from what they have been saying, unlike other expansions, 6.3 is not going to conclude a story arc.
So maybe we will not get a "final boss" in the 6.3 MSQ, which would make room for 4 trials in a side story.

Yeah, they're saying 6.0 will conclude Endwalker (and the whole HvZ story arc as a whole), and 6.1 will be a completely new story.

I have no idea what that would even look like in the context of moving into 7.0, but if I had to speculate (on zero evidence), I'd say 6.x is the clean-up for whatever goes down in Endwalker, which might include fighting certain enemies left over from the Final Days Recreation that just happen to look like the FF4 Four Fiends.

6.X seems likely to be a wrap-up for leftover plot threads from the entire Hydaelyn/Zodiark saga.

The remaining Ascians seem more likely to appear in Pandaemonium than a trial series though.
