Thread: Revelations from Patch 3.56

It was a patch of setting things up, which is to be expected, though it missed the kick of Steps of Faith leading into the Parting Glass. I hope the reaction to Steps of Faith hasn't scared them off doing big set piece story fights that are out of the normal circular arenas. The Cartenaux fight was fun, but ultimately disposable.

Omega released to be lost in the Bend of Time.
Shinryu released to become a fight (and if it doesn't, I will eat my new Tataru-branded monocle).

Both crashed on the other side of the Wall, necessitating a visit to Gyr Abania.
I hope Nero sticks around, or is at least involved in the main story for 4.0. He and Cid make an amusing double act.
Raubhan's line on the Wall could worsen the position of the Sultana - if her main supporter goes off on a quest, then the monetarists might be able to further restrict her already limited power. Also, they better not be setting Raubhan up as Hauchefaunt mk 2. It was nice that he got the credit screen all to himself, as well.

Also, pretty much as expected on Yda front - the sister after all, but it means that (sniff) only us 1.0 people got to ever meet the real Yda - on a six year timeline, she will have died just before the present day 1.0. Anything in the Echo will have been the real deal. Lyse was a pretty good impersonator. As Moose said, it resolves her tidily (unlike Nanamo).

Also - that palace in Ala Mhigo. Very swanky.
