What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[Atelier-Bagur]

In fairness, the plotline of Bozja continues in the Field Notes. It does not end in the cutscenes. The arc does, but the story doesn't.

Pagaga and Lyon walk around.
No word on Clarricie afaik.
Sicinius is scott free after Lyon broke him out of Dalmasca.
Gabranth "dies" but gets transplanted onto a clone. To the public, the death is staged as Lyon having murdered him.
Zero consequences for pretty much everyone that wasn't Menenius.

All of those characters save for Gabranth got introduced in Bozja proper and had a major role there. Gabranth was introduced in the preceeding arc, the Ivalice Raids, but has more development in Bozja than he ever does in Ivalice.

And right now it's left open-ended, with Gabranth musing on how he expected Bajsaljen to make the Bozjan constitution in the same vein as the Garlean rule and his own ideals (with maybe a lot less murder), and being seen walking around in Dalmasca despite being considered dead.

There's no closure due to that. They did say that if they ever came back to this story, it'd feature Dalmasca, however.

and honestly they should hold on to that sorta not sorta promise. It really sucks how Bozja ended prematurely

Likely happened due to the Pandemic :T We know they intended for at least one more instance, so some stuff had to be cut back. How much of it actually was and how much of it got relegated to the Field Notes we don't know, of course.

I just wonder about that weird hole left with Gabranth's future. Because it's okay if they leave it at that imo... but they do point out that Gabranth is being spotted around in Dalmasca. Is he a free man? Is he plotting something?

That and my only personal wish is bringing justice against Sicinius, but that in itself really would require a fair bit "more" out of them.

Regardless o: Whether they will or won't come back to this story and set it in Dalmasca, they did say it wouldn't be anywhere during 6.0. So we shouldn't be expecting anything further in this cycle.
