    And a bit of an 'unseen storm' character would certainly be new. I feel like to some, the fact Zenos and Ran'jit were quantifiable foes that they could theoretically win fights against made it hard to swallow actually losing to them, but going up against someone who's won before we even turn up would really build up some mystery.
    I think just having more problems that can't be solved with our specialty of brute force is enough to keep things interesting. A villain who's flexing political influence as opposed to raw strength could present a unique problem., and they already dabbled in that to a degree with the Monetarists though the issue kind of ended up resolving itself given that Lolorito decided it was in his best interests to not continue working against the Scions in the long term.

    I am kind of hoping that if we go to Ilsabard one of the zones will be a place that was badly damaged by the Final Days as a tangible reminder of how horribly things could've gone for the entire world if we hadn't won. Right now, it feels very...forgettable given that nobody of particular import succumbed, nor can you tell anything even went wrong in the first place in any of the existing zones.

    Even though things were largely fixed up after the seventh calamity, those giant masses of corrupted crystal left in Bahamut's wake serve as a permanent reminder of destruction he had wrought.
