Is the game becoming too metaphysical for its own good?

[Kallera]

Crossovers boost sales for both parties involved (and FFXV will be nowhere near as bad of a crossover as Yo-Kai Watch being in the game),
Lyse more or less had a decent enough excuse to return to her true identity (and we don't know enough about y'shtola and matoya to make any judgment calls),
Rabanastre in XIV likely wouldn't be an exact equal to XII and still has yet to be adequately fleshed out,
We don't really have enough information between the Ascians and Garlemald,
And we won't exactly know how we make the jump until part 2 of the 4.5 main story comes out in 4.56.

In short, just wait. Everything will make more sense once we get to that new content.

That’s the thing, though, will things make sense or will I get an explanation, there’s a difference.

Hopefully it will make sense because it can be explained.
