    When you visit the Gold Saucer with Nanamo in 4.1, Godbert will have different dialogue depending on whether or not you've done any of the Hildebrand quests. So while they're not tied into the MSQ, they did happen in canon. Assuming you've done them, of course.

    I think the only things in the game that aren't technically canon are Savage and Ultimate fights, Minstrel's Ballad trials, and some extremes like the Warring Triad, as they're all handwaves to include hard modes of things that, for one reason or another, can't actually be re-fought (ie, you can't fight Thordan twice because he's dead).

    Hey now, Unukulhai actually gives the WoL the Allagan Tomestones with the Warring Triad Full Power Simulations on them. They're X-men style danger room scenarios. The others are magical variants of that... I prefer the tomestone variety.

    To answer OP... Maybe for once in his life this would cure Zenos's ennui, and Julyan would have a competent servant afterwards. One she doesn't have to be nice to, who doesn't want her to be nice to him. Hmmm. If it weren't for Godbert, they could be a new power couple :O!

    I feel like that still fits into the handwave category, since it's not something that's ever come up again. But it's kind of a moot point. Either way, it only exists so we can have Extreme versions of the Triad, because all of their followers are long dead and can't resummon them.

    Of course, then we run into the question of how the blue mage trainer learned Sophia's spell.....

    Don't handwave my WoL being one of the 1.7% Allagan Elites able to survive the training and being approved for cloning for the elite regiments Q_Q~!

    How did he and/or Azulmagia learn the other primal spells? They got the Echo? :O?! Maybe they're holding out some ridiculously awesome Whalaqee Totems that the Whalaqee somehow had...

    "You see, the Whalaqee's land has primals too. They've for Bifrit, Bitan, Bamuh, Bethiavan, Baruda, Bad King Boggle Bog, Bavana, Bod King Bhordan, Bophia, Burvan, Bephirot, and Misbarck."

    Zenos could be the ultimate simp. “Notice me Senpai” and all.
