Alliance Raid 6.3 tidbits from the trailer

[Cassar]

Here's my wild prediction: Zeus is going to be involved in some way, possibly the final boss of 6.5 Alliance raid.
And yes, I base all of this solely on the fact that the raids are named after the three graces Aglaia, Euphrosyne and Thalia, which in Greek mythology are the daughters of Zeus.

Not really related to the thread but I had to get this off my chest: Halone looks like an Angewomon digivolution.

If this was the case, then Zeus and the Twelve being related to the ancients is inevitable. The pandemonium raid has really double downed on greek mythology references, I think only of all the bosses Proto-Carbuncle has no connection to greek mythology. I'm unsure whether Greek mythology is somehow connected to other parts of the lore outside of the ancients, but I think the hints are starting to pile towards ancients being somehow responsible, and now the last boss seat is an unknown contender, or at least of the final bosses.

This also makes me wonder, since Greek mythology is being pushed in the Pandemonium raid, there are some connections to the alliance raid. Probably not though, but Greek mythology is a factor that ties both of the raids.

Looks more like Lenneth Valkyrie to me.

See I'd actually go more for Cronus, the actual father of the gods (perhaps better known is his Roman counterpart Saturn, of the 'devouring his son' fame). Not only is it a bit more mythologically accurate and interesting, it also establishes them on a different 'level' than the Ancients we know. You crack out Zeus and the immediate assumption is to put him alongside or directly connected to Hades in some way, but Cronus sets them as something else entirely.

You could also go for Chaos, the primordial something that everything sprang from in Greek myth (whether or not it's an entity or just a thing is unclear), but... well, we've already used Chaos.

Perhaps the "whorl" the first of the Twelve were believed to have sprung forth from is an actual entity as opposed to some kind of natural phenomena?

There was that one portal that wasn't attached to a domain of gods, so whatever is there (maybe... an underworld god and a half to bring it up to 14 since Nald'thal is like, 12.5 and they like their 14 allegories? A forgotten god from the pantheon?) is likely the final boss.

I like this idea, actually. Leans into the notion of Chaos without BEING Chaos.

Im calling it now. Itll be Greg. Last seen falling into another interdimensional rift. Missing(so far) for multiple expansions. Fan favorite. Fan service to multiple former games. Already an established part of the worlds "lore". Has enough appendages to theoretically engage the tanks of all 3 parties at once. Possession of multiple "mythic" weapons from other dimensions easily explains having a myriad of attacks. Itll be Greg.

It's interesting that they had Nymeia on full display, but made sure to hide parts of Nophica. You'd think Nymeia would be the "surprise". My guess is there is something about Nophica's face they are trying to hide. I doubt it's the booba, they haven't shied away from showing it before.

My theory is that Nophica and Halone aren't rivals but are either the same person or two people sharing one body (similar to Nald'thal but less Transformer-like) as a metaphor for seasons changing. They'll probably serve as the transition from the Earth zone to the Ice zone. (✿´ ꒳ ` )
I think the boss order is going to be Althyk + Nymeia (they're siblings and you fought someone important to them in the last raid, Althyk's eldest daughter Azeyma and Nymeia's servant Rhalgr) then Nophica, who will transform into Halone mid fight, and finally Menphina.
This would also mean that Azeyma (who is Nophica's mother) and Rhalgr (Halone's father) are a pair (with no clue if Byregot is related to Azeyma).
