Why Eden is not MSQ?

[Iscah]

It is a rather questionable theory currently because of what happened in the ending of 5.0 with...

hints that Young G'raha Tia maybe waking up in Source CT for 5.1 Storyline which would imply CT Raid storyline happens no matter what with or without WoL's involvement since Young G'raha Tia can only be sealed and asleep in CT if the CT Raid storyline happened already.

Which is why, until canon proves me wrong, I will argue that it cannot be what they're hinting because I believe they will not take that story path. It doesn't follow their established method of handling all optional questlines up to this point.

As I said, for someone who hasn't completed CT, G'raha directly tells Urianger that the Warrior of Light has not met his past self yet, which means it is going to happen later, and the WoL will be there when it does - ie. at whatever point the player completes the quest. G'raha remembers it happening in his past, even though it's still the player's future.

If they planned to ignore quest progression and act as if you've done it when you haven't, then I would expect them to be more deliberately vague when writing dialogue like that.

Yes, but in this time in the end of the MSQ. Show then going on that direction, and in others expansion that wasn’t the case if i’m not missing something.
Also in all cases fells it was a waste but in this case it may change the world not only a certain location.

The exact same thing happened with The Binding Coil and Alexander, once the MSQ ended you got a small introductory cutscene to the raid. Cant remember if oOmega did it too, but I guess it did.

Any particular reason why making it MSQ instead of a raid would be better? Anythign other than "I don't like raiding".

Well they create savage for the ones that like raiding, so everyone can have the same story experience.

Savage doesn't have a story element to it anymore. They did away with that in the Alexander normal/Savage split. The developers said in the Live Letters that Eden would tie in directly to the main scenario (like Coil did) even though it's "side content".

Just do the normal mode.

They've obviously got other things in mind for the MSQ. Dealing with Elidibus and Zenos immediately comes to mind.

I imagine we wont actually do that until 6.0, when we figure out a way to get our buddies off the first.

"We know you expected to go to Garlemald and finish that storyline, but please take this detour so we can go there next expansion instead".

We know that Elidibus's immediate goal is to keep us mired on the first for as long as possible out of spite, having thrown caution to the wind by revealing everything to Zenos. Tataru also says, upon your return, that she'd be getting in touch with Estinien soon for a progress report. Finish matters on the First -> march north because Varis is dead and his son wants to eat a god seems like a fairly straightforward path.

Ya from how things goes we can expect the return to the source being 5.3 then after that it is finally going into Garlean Empire (or atleast the set up to get into the place) in 5.4 to 5.5 then we meet the Finale of this long Season 1 storyline in 6.0 where Zodiark/Ascians are finally defeated in whatever means the finale of this long story has prepared for even if it is a Crazy God powered Zenos as the Finale boss that has gone full Kefka on the World.

Then from there was can only assume what the new Storyline set after the Defeat of Zodiark/ Ascians maybe.

In all honestly, i still think the Zodiark/Ascian vs Hydaelyn Storyline has been dragged on long enough for it to finally end in 6.0. The entire set up is now set for it as well by the end of 5.0 so it is only a matter of the Journey towards that long awaited finale in 6.0.

[Allegor]

You can think of it as a spin-off MSQ chain.

[gumas]

i think it could either become part of msq (part of it) or it become something like "rabanastre arc" important.

i would be livid if this eden thingy continue on and we later stumble upon the ruin of...

Balamb Garden

i mean, its vast desert out there, its basically huge empty space that yoshi can put whatever he want
