Regardless of revelations, I'm very happy they finally been tying up Side-Quests with the Main Story, not only being more consistent in doing so but also doing a good job on having players that follow all the stories go: "Aha!"

Now for the Alliance roast, I very much liked it. The take on Ishgardian politics from an outsider and calling out on Limsa's hypocrisy were great. I wish they would had either given Kann-E no lines or have them be about Gridania's internal racial conflicts instead. Would have be a better fit, regardless of that it should've ended with the roast on Merlwyb, since Limsa is indeed the most screwed up nation internally. The quick comparison with Ixali felt like extending the scene unnecessarely.
