I could see Regula taking control of the machine for the empire. Perhaps he finds a way to absorb lingering aether of the triad unto the machine. Maybe the reason the proto ultima was not the final weapon was due to the inability of the machine to protect the operator from exposure to primal aether. It could be a convenient way to tie up the loose ends, give us a tower fight, and call back to vi.
That might actually happen. Last fan fest gave us the Odin trial and it ended up in the last ARR patch. Personally I only need one more thing for Regula to have in common with Kefka. Being dead.
