Though it definitely adds some context to all the Corvos references made during the MSQ.

(Which, also, yes please let us go to Corvos, I have theories about the Anchorite and I want more detail to see if I might possibly be right.)

That said, I'd argue the fate of the Students of Baldesion (and the Isle of Val in general) is pretty MSQ-relevant to things now that the MSQ brought us to Old Sharlayan and we're there supposedly as representatives of the Students of Baldesion. So I'm a little surprised it's all buried behind Eureka (and the final answers behind the Baldesion Arsenal 56-person raid instance); I feel like that's lore they maybe could've/should've surfaced somewhere else in the game in addition to stuffing it into what's arguably fairly niche content even by the standards applied to raids in general.



I hate to tell you this, but there absolutely are. I have multiple friends -- who raid savage, even -- who haven't ever bothered to unlock the Mhach or YoRHa raids because they didn't care about them, and only did Ivalice late in Shadowbringers because they wanted to do Bozja and relics. There are plenty of people who run Alliance Roulette for the XP/tomes/clusters who don't have even the Ivalice ones unlocked because they didn't care about Bozja.
So you are telling me there are enough people for me to consistently get the CT raids, more specifically ST, for years on end in the roullette. Of all the players on the Aether data center there are enough that need to run CT that I have done it a few times a week for at least 4 years now.
