Revelations from Patch 6.4: The Dark Throne

Absolutely

Oh we're just going to leave him with the ancient alien device that corrupts everyone who touches it including ancients? Ok then... I'm sure everything will be fine.

Indeed.

He's already talking about taking to his work with renewed fervour... why are we not staging an intervention already, or at least giving a warning to his assistants?

Another couple of thoughts on Pandæmonium:

Had anyone previously suggested that the black auracite could have corrupted Lahabrea's mind, in conjunction with what we had seen in Ivalice? It seems like an obvious connection in hindsight and yet I can't remember it having been suggested before.

Also I have to note with some smugness that (unless he comes back in the sequel questline) we didn't get some "special promise" from Themis, and it is more likely that his "who did I make a promise to?" line in 5.3 is simply relevant to 5.3 and highlighting that he has lost even the memories we glimpsed earlier in the chapter of him making his vows to the Convocation. I liked that symmetry at the time and I've been saying all along that I didn't want it commandeered into referencing something else.

The timeline for the Heart of Sabik seems off. Lahabrea was there, but then we punched Lahabrea out of Thancred and made him retreat to the void. He might have got back later, but that's still not what we were told happens.

Also, I want to know which "entire sector" of Azys Lla has gone missing. Inside the Aetherochemical Facility maybe?
