Tale of Emet [FF14 x Nier Reincarnation event story]

[EdwinLi]

But yeah, totally just general primal shenanigans. Reuniting the very specific Macguffin at the very specific river location for Mide's very specific desire was just all coincidental.

I honestly still wonder what became of Travanchet. His fate is one of the remaining unanswered questions in FF14 from 1.0 era.

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.

If they are bringing back Ascians, there better be more to it than repeating the same plot again, just with a new method.

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.

Given past content trends, I have doubts our incursion into the void is going to involve more then a dungeon, a hub area for the trials, and possibly the trials themselves.

I also doubt the 13th or the other shards will be the subject of an expansion just yet because if there's some kind of new existential crisis on its way I feel like we'd be addressing it Source-side firstly.

Pretty much this. I also had the sinking feeling that the 13th void stuff was going to condensed to a hub area and fighting trials. The 13th was originally given that treatment before with the World of Darkness. We aren't really going to the 13th to restore it, we're going there to find some dragon. Who honestly at this point, will probably be the 6.3 trial. Some void corrupted dragon. If we do somehow restore the 13th shard, it'll probably be done how the empty in the first is done.

What I am most interested in finding out is where is the part of our soul that was lost on the 13th? Surely it has to still be out there somewhere. I'm currently leading towards it being that Knight in Black from the cutscene. (Which will either be Dark Knight Cecil or Golbez).

But yeah I'm pretty sure the 13th shard stuff will be finished before 7.0 even hits. We're going to figure out shard travel going there and go to a different shard for a new journey in 7.0.

With Zenos' Avatar being singled out as special and important and something to watch, I'm almost positive that that's going to end up being our soul shard from the Thirteenth.

I actually forgot about that for a second. Thanks for reminding me. That's a good point. It'd make a lot of sense if that turned out to be our soul from there.

[KageTokage]

I feel like they're trying to sort out the matter of inter-shard travel sooner then later mostly for the sake of muddying the waters when it comes to people figuring out where we'll be going next.

I could just as easily see the business with Azdaja transitioning into helping Tiamat sort out some problems over in Meracydia, while there's another catalyst for conflict in Ilsabard with the Garleans having been temporarily ousted from Corvos thanks to the Final Days, and it's unlikely the more patriotic-minded legions in the neighboring provinces are going to let that slide..
