I'm half-expecting Pandemonium to be beneath the former imperial palace/central tower as a nod to its location in FF II, coupled with the fact the towers all seem to extend extremely deep into the earth judging from the Tower of Zot, and likely even moreso in the case of the central tower.

Considering that the Ancients had already captured some terminus beasts like Twintania, I'm thinking they shoved some particularly nasty ones down there (Which would make even more sense when considering that Lahabrea was responsible for the department that was dealing with them).

I'm honestly fine with anything.

My only concern is that after the literal apocalypse, it's going to be difficult to scale things back. WoW tried to do that from Legion (fighting the literal legions of Hell and going to their home turf to wipe them out for good) to Battle for Azeroth (faction conflict with various bad actors pulling the strings), and the outcome was... mixed, to put it lightly. It can be done, but it has to be handled well.

I'm hoping they go for more Heavensward or Save the Queen type of stakes. HW we were depowered for a lot of it so everything felt heavier, a lot more uncertain. Save the Queen, we were a single super powered soldier on a battlefield full of hundreds/thousands of other soldiers. We could only do so much, so there was always a chance we couldn't win. Both cases, the stakes were still high, because we were no longer a guaranteed victory machine, more of the equivalent of an Ace in Mobile Suit Gundam. We can turn the tide, but only so much.

Really hoping that Varis shows up in some part, as a nod to FF2, and giving him an actual proper storyline.
