    Shadowbringers and Ivalice

    We already know that Vieras will be playable in Shadowbringers, and the Nu Mous will be a new beast race (their primal will probably be Ultima, since it's their guardian deity in Tactics Advance).
    In Stormblood, Ivalice was put into the light with Dalmasca.

    Given how Ivalice is now a garlemadian colony, it could be easy to say "we are going to go to Ivalice in Shadowbringers to free it from the Empire", just like Ala Migho and Doma.
    BUT there is something more with Ivalice : the Ascians.
    They ALL have name that come from the lore of Ivalice : Lahabrea is the light scion of the Pisces, Nabriales is the Scorpio's one, Igeyorhm is the Sagittarius' one, etc..
    The Ascians also have Zodiark as a deity, a god from Ivalice : the dark scion of the Ophiuchus (an interesting note is that the Ophiuchus sign doesn't have any scion of light). Yes, the zodiac's signs are extremely important in the lore of Ivalice, and in all of its games.
    Those names were clearly chosen with a goal in mind.

    The mythology of Ivalice being related to the Ascians, Shadowbringers could really be set into that part of the world to know more about the origins of the ascians, and not just to liberate Ivalice from the Empire. Thus explaining the presence of the Vieras in the limelight.

    My guess is that we will travel to Dalmasca and Lea Monde in Shadowbringers. (also, dancing is really important in Lea Monde... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krY83viRbaM )
