Thread: It would be cool if Zero... 6.2

It would make more sense. I did want Zenos' avatar to be the shard prior to 6.2, but after seeing the direction they are going with Zero, it wouldn't really fit anymore. Golbez being the shard, while not following FFIV directly, would tie him to the protagonist [the WoL] in FFXIV with the same magnitude. If they went full on FFIV, and flip the script on Zero and Golbez, it would be a little predictable, but can still be a good story if they are mindful with its development.
