Thread: Predictions for 5.3?

Not exactly on topic with the last few posts, but I just want to say: This?

^This is what I predict.

None of it is ok, and neither am I.

I have a probably fleeting hope that even if something happens to Exarch-G'raha, Sleeping Source-G'raha will wake up. Not exactly the same person after everything the Exarch's been through, but still a G'raha.

I really wonder if Cylva is going to have anything to do here. It would be amazing to get her as like an optional story trust for the final dungeon that's available if you've completed the role quests. It feels like she's so intrinsically tied to what's going on, with Ardbert, but also with Unukalhai and by extension Elidibus.

Alternative possibility - the mystery trial is the Shadowkeeper. I have no idea how they'd work that logistically for people who haven't gotten to Cyella's revelation, but, dammit, it would be awesome.

As she is Cyella cannot fight anymore, she says she doesn't have the strength to lift her sword and that she will help her friends the only way she feels she can by telling their heroic deeds at the Crysterium to anyone willing to lend an ear.

I would love more dialogue with her, someone who truly knew Arbert and everyone, but her being a fighter is long since over.

As for G'raha, I expect his death, I expect his soul will rejoin Source G'raha giving him the memories he has had, I want Source G'raha to wake up, but I think he won't but when he does in the far future he will remember the grand adventure he got to share with us on the 1st. Bitter sweet is how I see this all going down.

As for the unknown trial, my guess is Oracle.

Bittersweet is exactly the way I've been describing it in my head for a while. The fact they very deliberately showed us that he can't come through to the Source, along with all the "I wanted to go on an adventure with you" stuff, really seems to hint that in some way he will be able to, in the end, although maybe not in the way he wanted.

(Maybe it's just me but if another character was going to die I think they should have at least had the honour of being in the patch art, and all the focus seems to be on the Exarch. It seems to be very much "his patch").
