    I'm kind of hoping that Elpis doesn't get involved in the 6.x MSQ anymore, because as much as I'd like to learn more about certain specifics of the Ancient era, I feel like they could've just as easily had us stumble across more locales akin to Akademia Aynder that managed to survive through the eons, especially given the mention of how abnormally durable their architecture was compared to what we're used to.

    The storytelling becoming overly reliant on time travel and weird causal loops is...not a direction I want things to go in.

    On a more positive note, I'd like if the 6.x MSQ mostly focuses on us going on little misadventures with each of the Scions; possibly laying low more stray blasphemies that are a bit too wily or dangerous for the alliance to deal with. I feel like things are going to blow up in the .3 patch again, though, but rather then it serving as the climax of the current storyline it's going to mark the appearance of a new threat that's big enough to warrant a trial and kicks off the bulk of the build-up to 7.x.

    Much as I enjoy the ancients, I also loathe time travel and this expansion has intensified that, so I somewhat agree. I wouldn't say no to an ancient AU if they did it well, but they can figure out other methods too, I am sure, like making greater use of the Echo, historical archives etc.

As much as I appreciate Ishikawa, idk if I want more of her style of writing. Or maybe have matsuno as the writer lol (yeah i know it's next to impossible).
    Yeah, hoping for the same here.
