Tale of Emet [FF14 x Nier Reincarnation event story]

[EdwinLi]

The missing Paragons and other lingering Ascians feel like about as big of an elephant in the room as the remaining Garlean legions in terms of their potential for causing problems so I'd like to hope they don't just get glossed over.

If the Sundering really is at risk of attempting to naturally reverse itself now that Hydaelyn is gone, I could see them acting in interest of ensuring that happens simply because it's the closest they can get restoring their "perfect" world now that Zodiark is gone.

Considering Emet did literally SPOILED the future plot of Season 2 about WoL traveling to the remaining Shards, I have a feeling it will be a big part of Season 2 plot. This may actually be part of the reason why WoL ends up traveling to each Shard since currently in 6.X they are setting up the how WoL gains the ability to travel to each Shard from what we learn in 6.1 MSQ.

Along with WoL meeting the remaining Shards of himself/herself in each Shard.

Honestly, I think theres a good chance they could pull a fast one.

In 3.1-3.3 the conflict was all about the Warriors of Darkness and their struggles on the First, which seemed to point to that as our inevitable destination. 4.x was all about Garlemald, which when 5.0 came out was uh… yeah. The 5.x was the most straightforward honestly and even it was mostly about the First and Elidibus until 5.4. Endwalker is definitely the one that could break that trend, as it’s doing so with a lot of the narrative patterns we’ve gotten used to, but I could see the writers being sneaky about things.

5.0 was not surprising we did not get Garlemald since plenty of people predicted in 4.X that 5.0 expansion will be focused completely on the First Shard due to how all the Scions were being Isekai into the First shard.

That certainly wasn’t the impression I got back before 4.4. It was all Garleans at that point.

Yes, that is mostly because they never really start focusing on where the next expansion will go until X.4 MSQ updates. X.1 to X.3 are mostly the updates that focus on tying up loose ends before moving towards the next expansion.

For now we are just tying up loose ends left over from Endwalker storyline. Then we may get our real hint to 7.0 expansion in 6.4 to 6.55 like all previous expansions.

Right I agree, that’s why I think we shouldn’t put all our chips the current 13th focus to remain. In my mind it’s 50% chance for void expansion, 30% Meracydia, 20% Wildcard. But I’ve been wrong many a time before sooooo

I don't think we will get all the remaining shards in 7.0 but only one shard per expansion.

My best guess is that Season 2 will have the new Season 2 antagonist be a Multi-shard level threat and WoL has to travel to the remaining shards to stop their plans on each one per expansion.

That way SE can release one shard and one or two locations on the Source per expansion. They may establish lore that WoL must first go to the X and Y location on the Source so they can travel to X or Y shard due to maybe requiring a strong link only provided in a certain area on the Source for each different shard.
