Opinion: Shadowbringers Plot

[DamianFatale]

Prediction:

- Hydaelyn and Zodiark will have a conflict.

- We will defeat the empire.

- The world will have a flood of light despite someone trying to prevent it.

- We will have to go back and rewrite history.

- Post game will be the ordinary world as it is, with the effects of the events in 5.0 being confined to 5.0. Everything from 5.0 and onward will be the rewrite timeline.

- It won’t be as complex and difficult to understand as people fear. The ending will be easily conveyed.

- Garlemald/ascians will possibly take all of 5.x to defeat in order to prevent the flood again. Some Garleans might side with us.

- This will feel more like Heavensward did, and have a more western/European feel to the game.

I have a hard time imagining how the zone progression would play out if they opt for the "Source actually gets ruined by a calamity" approach. Would we have to resort to some timey-wimey stuff just to visit the ruined world for casual stuff like gathering/hunting?

It seems more probable that we'll go to a place that's already been ruined by an excess of light AKA the first shard.
