6.0 Story Speculations

**RyuDragnier** · 06-07-2021 01:08 AM

All this talk of the Dreamer, and here I am thinking it will be the key to finishing off the entire end of the world scenario, probably with us using its power and wielding the greatest Limit Break that would work for it...Final Fantasy. Because we literally have a dreamer, we're dealing with the End of the Days, and the dream of the 14 worlds may in fact be the last fantasy it will dream.

They're a bit overdue, aren't they?

I just hope if they do, when they do, we can get all four archfiends. Not the Three Archfiends and the One Solo Instance Fiend.

The solo instance will be pre-death Scarmiglione and his zombie hordes. Then we get the real fight as a trial.

With the mention of "gate of the gods", and since Ascian have become Zilart v2 in ShB, I wouldn't be surprised if Endwalker rips off some more FFXI plot points. Like, whatever our 2 clowns are planning, they're pumping aether directly from the mothercrystal and it creates emptiness so one or two dungeons would be promyvion.

Well, from what they have been saying, unlike other expansions, 6.3 is not going to conclude a story arc.
So maybe we will not get a "final boss" in the 6.3 MSQ, which would make room for 4 trials in a side story.

Yeah, they're saying 6.0 will conclude Endwalker (and the whole HvZ story arc as a whole), and 6.1 will be a completely new story.

I have no idea what that would even look like in the context of moving into 7.0, but if I had to speculate (on zero evidence), I'd say 6.x is the clean-up for whatever goes down in Endwalker, which might include fighting certain enemies left over from the Final Days Recreation that just happen to look like the FF4 Four Fiends.

I'm kind of hoping that the rest of the Telophoroi are Ascians who decided to get all flamboyant like Fandaniel, and are now taking on reimagined forms of the Four Fiends >_> Do we have enough Ascians left to do that?

**BlitzAceRush** · 06-07-2021 05:02 PM

I'm, not sure, quick google search says we've 5 still unaccounted for, so yes, it would seem, though given they've kinda "ended" their's and the Garlean plot I'm not sure what they plan for them, if they'll just be "killed off" off screen, they'll show up as minor/major bosses or hell, perhaps we'll even work with them, if Gaia and Danny showed us, it's they really only were all kept on the same page loosely by the unsundered and it feels like that may have been less willing and more, "here have memories, ignore what I may or may not have done to the last shard of you." *zap*

6.X seems likely to be a wrap-up for leftover plot threads from the entire Hydaelyn/Zodiark saga.

The remaining Ascians seem more likely to appear in Pandaemonium than a trial series though.

I desperately want you to be right! Between Fanboy talking about how he wants everything destroyed, and the background of the last segment of Amaurot looking like the planet getting wrecked in FFVI, I’ve been sitting here with my fingers crossed for them to not go that far on this world.

And at the risk of sounding like a Heroic Comedic Sociopath, I have also been hoping most of the damage will happen in areas that aren’t full of characters I care about. I mean, Eorzea is still cleaning up the catastrophe from five years ago, plus Ishgard/Dravania just agreed to end a millennium’s worth of lies and death, Ala Mhigo and Doma just went Garlean-free... and I just plain like Idyllshire and the Steppe.
