Thread: 3.5/4.0 Speculation & Discussion (Spoilers)

I'm actually hoping that neither Regula or Varis die. Not only are they tied to the main story but they're both major players with a lot of potential. Having Regula (or Varis) go crazy for the sake of a 'Kefka' reference feels very off to me. I'd prefer them to succeed at gathering resources from Azyz Lla and serve as long term rather than temporary antagonists. Regula has the potential to be a 'Beatrix', 'Drace' or 'Gabranth' - which is something we're desperately in need of. It's also getting a bit predictable and tiresome for Garleans to become unhinged and crazy at this point. Especially when the protagonists are allowed to operate Allagan technology or stand around Primals/Eikons with absolutely no negative consequences on their part.

It's also possible that Regula will die through tragic circumstances (a recent trend has been for 'sad deaths' for antagonists, after all) but it'd at least be better if he dies saving the Emperor's life and giving Varis a personal reason to hate the Scions and Warrior of Light. If his best friend - and son - end up dead at their hands then that raises the stakes and pretty much adds some pretty major shades of grey.

Elidibus having a servant involved with all the craziness going on in Azyz Lla doesn't bode well, however. I do think that somehow the Scions and Warrior of Light will be tricked into doing something very stupid. Or perhaps Unukali will be the 'Kefka' in the name of a misguided cause. Either way, if something big happens it desperately needs to tie in with the MSQ's.
