6.4 patch speculation

[Cleretic]

It bothers me that Themis and Lahabrea are human-sized. They shouldn't be, they and Pandaemonium should be giants; it's not just correct, it's also much more interesting in terms of cutscene structure. But of course, I'm not tremendously surprised to see an Ancient story take the less interesting option.

Far more interesting to me in all this is learning that Mount Rokkon is going to be a journey alongside Hancock. That doesn't just confirm for sure that it's Hingan, but also confirms this is gonna be fun as hell, Hancock is an amazing pick for a character to have this sort of adventure alongside. I don't like him as a person, but he is solidly fun in a 'love to hate' way, and a capitalist with actual cultural curiosity (albeit mostly because it's something to profit from) is a genuinely solid angle for worldbuilding-centric content like a variant dungeon.

On Hingashi's westernmost isle of Shishu lies the long-venerated Mount Rokkon. Once refuge for humble monks and weary pilgrims, the holy site has fallen to a host of malevolent spirits of the most curious shapes and sizes...

Shishu is the island Kugane is on and I was hoping for a foray onto the main island of Koshu, but this is better than nothing. I hope we find out more about what's going on there since of all the countries that we've actually visited, Hingashi is the one we know the least about.
