What are your crazy theories after Endwalker

[AutumnHarvestwind]

I'm dying to know your thoughts and ideas on what direction the story will go.

edit:
Like your wild tin-foil BUT MAYBE plausible theories... sans what ES mentioned in his exposition to you :P

Or anything you'd like to see developed upon.

I think Emet-Selch will be involved in Pandemonium. We still don't know why Elidibus, Lahabrea and Emet-Selch were unsundered. Maybe Pandemonium will give that answer.

Supposedly Yoshi-P has said 7.0 will be a battle of values (like previous expansions), so I predict the protagonists will continue to be clad in impenetrable plot armor while we're pitted against sympathetic antagonists who end up losing everything.

Can I ask you where you've read this from him? An interview?

Yoshida's comments on Endwalker development and story from today's livestream. Update on sales suspension possibly next week. New Game+ coming in 6.1.

Second comment down adds more to the OP.

I like how they have already begun to plan Derplander's next job for 7.0.

7.0 should be the double DPS new job expansion if it follows the expansion new job release pattern so we should expect two new DPS jobs.

A part of me still hope to see a Noctis/Yozora Job since we just had a sample of it from the Venat story instance boss fight. They even have the crystal weapons Armiger summon animation set up despite still being a lower amount of weapon for Venat's weapon of choice. Not to mention the LB3 animation can be considered done due to how Venat uses Legacy of the Lucii for her LB.

The only thing left for SE development team if they ever consider a Noctis/Yozora job is to consider the normal skill attacks and their animation.

I kind of hope it's actually just BRD that he finally resolved to level.

Wouldn't those just be in the game from the FFXV crossover event? Sounds more like recycling NPC fancy attacks than intending to give them to the player.

i have a few:

-the 12 are real and is connected to dynamis.
-alpha and omega are gonna get a quest linked to the omicrons.
-garlemald restoration will be headed by julius and the commander we saved.

My only prediction I feel to be certain about is that we may meet one or two of the new companions WoL will have for Season 2 during 6.1 to 6.55 so they can set up who will be the Trusts of 7.0. I expect the other characters maybe introduced in 7.0 to have 7.0 be a proper first chapter of Season 2.

I personally don't expect the Scions to rejoin WoL for his/her new save the world adventure until maybe 7.1 and above so they have time in 7.0 to introduce to us the new companions and to give the Scion's time to do their own things while planning their potential new outfits.

On a crazy theory side...

Since we learn Venat's combat style is basically Noctis Job (she even has Noctis strongest LB being Legacy of the Luccii) and she did train Azem a bit, I suspect Azem's crystal may contain some memories about Azem's fighting style. If so then reawakening those memories may allow WoL to unlock the Noctis Job with the Job's mechanics focus on 13 Crystal Arms and Armiger Unleashed. However, this may cause this job to be the first story locked job and of course people will not like this but for major sory reasons, it may have to be since the entire MSQ is the first Job quest itself to obtain the Job Crystal being Azem's Crystal.

The first actual Job quest for this Noctis Job may focus on obtaining Azem's original Sword.
