What are your crazy theories after Endwalker

[Lauront]

If anything, I should hope the extreme lack of story for WoL's Avatar could be related to a future Void expansion. A bit like how Heavensward drastically expanded on the lore behind Dragoon.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how they address it. For now they avoided tying it to a 13th shard of the MC (probably wise to avoid tying that behind a job quest if your intention is to go there in the future), and in all honesty, it's easy enough to simply say some Voidsent are corrupt beyond the scope of any available means to rehabilitate them, and leave it at that.

Well, Emet did say some of the civilizations on the shards would surprise us. I can hardly think of anything more surprising than a Voidsent civilization, despite the fact that the nature of their hierarchy inherently implies it.

As for the Avatar (or Zenos' Avatar, Yoshida's comments at least suggest they were thinking about that) being WoL's shard, I think it could be written around Reaper in the same way Heavensward wrote around the Eye and WoL being an Azure Dragoon. IE you get some extra dialog if you've already leveled the job, but the MSQ storyline develops a connection there regardless of whether or not you previously made one in the job quests.
