My understanding is most of the lesser Scions are keeping an eye on the rest of Eorzea while we focus on Ala Mhigo, keeping an eye on the beast tribes and such.

That was mine, too. Still, kinda wish my evil (good?) twin's last words weren't "I'm about to go on a really dangerous mission!" Ah, well. Getting offscreened is far better than the alternatives.

I uncovered some new dialogue from the Fisherman's guild.

Forget the Garleans, this will be our greatest challenge.

Hey, that is mean. I am a former WoWfugee. D:

Okay finally managed to play it on my own instead of just looking at live streams. And I'm in the relatively small camp of people who actually liked it. Sure it didn't end with a bang like 2.5 but most of that ending was smokes and mirrors as everyone came out of it alive. Not Teledji obviously. And we were fugitives for 3 months while we could waltz into Ul'dah no problem. This worked better.
I know most of us expected Rhalgr (even I did) but I think the game provided a very good explanation to why it ended up being Shinryu. That one guy who was praying for Rhalgr didn't actually ask for him to appear and save us. He was praying for Rhalgr to give them power. A weapon.
It was pretty predictable that we will have to go to Gyr Abania to retrieve Omega, but at least it feels like a natural continuation of the story. I mean even in 2.5 we only went to Ishgard because we didn't have a better idea.
Alisaie is the only one who isn't bothered by Nero being a former imperial. She said as much. Adding to that how she viewed Darnus as one of the unfortunate victims of the calamity and I think it is a pretty safe bet that if we introduce non-traitor Garleans who aren't actually evil, Alisaie will be the catalyst for that.

Now for the questions left by the patch.

Where the hell is Thancred?
If Papalymo dying removed the archon mark from Lyse, why didn't Louisouix dying remove the mark from the real archons? Or Lyse was simply given an illusion and the real thing is more durable? Y'shtola's body was rebuilt from nothing and she still has her mark.
Does Matoya know about the switch? Her last appearance was before we reunited with Papalymo and "Yda" so we never saw them meet.
What actually was Nero's plan?
When will Yugiri grow a personality? I like her design and everything but now that she's back it is very noticable how dull and underdeveloped her character is compared to...pretty much everyone else.

Also I wonder who that little girl Yda saved was. When she died. My first instinct was Ascilia, but no time bubble is big enough to fit that in. I wonder if a corpse was found. While I'm sure Zenos is not Yda, we might bump into the real one. We need a Gridanian representative after all. Papalymo is super dead and Lyse kinda left the Scions, so the real Yda would be nice.

Thancred's absence is unexplained. My personal guess is they simply didn't have anything for him to do in the story here, since it was focusing mostly on Lyse, Nero, and Yugiri.

It's heavily implied that Lyse's Archon mark was simply an illusion cast by Papalymo so people would believe she was the real Yda, which is why it faded away with his death.

Whether Matoya knows about the real Yda's death and her sister impersonating her is unknown. It seems to be a moot point though, since Matoya doesn't express much familiarity with any of the Scions save Y'shtola and the deceased Louisoix.

Nero just wanted to get Omega up and running to see what it could do. What he intended to do with it after is unknown.

Yugiri should be getting a lot of focus in Stormblood since we're going to her homeland and she's even in the opening FMV.

Just realized during the Shinryu v. Omega fight there was a very large tsunami that wrecked a good chunk of the wall... yet not so much as a puddle in East Shroud. I wonder how wrecked and submerged the area will be once we get to access it?

Hopefully very. They can't redo the East Shroud, but the other side can look like anything.

One of the area pics shown off was of a swamp, with rather large trees...

Yep. That is probably the area at the other end of the wall. The far eastern shroud or whatever. After that Rhalgr's reach when we get to Gyr Abania proper.
