Aymeric (SPOILERS)

[Kallera]

To be honest in the current situation Aymeric feels much more like a supporting role in the story development of Ishgard's evolving society as a whole. Aymeric's role is as an implementer. While this sidelines him character development wise, it does allow focus on how Ishgard as a whole is coping with the change. 3.2 was very much a focus on how Ishgard deals with coming to terms with change and how it finds peace between all the pain and loss of its past and the desire and hope for a peaceful future.

It could well be that Aymeric does succeed and gets everything wrapped up in a bow. :rimshot:.
Or that, seeing the situation, we betray Alphinaud "for the greater good" and kill Estinien ourselves .(that would be far worse as a resolution, imo, though the explanation would be lengthy.)

I'm hoping for something different, as it causes underlying tension seen since 3.0 to come to the surface, and add a second meaning to the "terrible price" in the face of "The right thing". He succeeds, and officially gets the true peace born of killing Nidhogg, but in such a way that it causes conflict among those that had working to achieve it, and unwittingly causes a impasse between the WoL/Alphinaud and the other Scions on what they stand for. I think that is the perfect situation to introduce the WoL finally making their own path.
