Thread: 6.4 patch speculation

I find it strange that they have decided to reveal the trial instead of keeping it a secret like usual. Moreover, if we're going to fight Golbez's shadow dragon then it's almost guaranteed that the Shadow dragon encounter will be in the Aetherfont dungeon. (It could also be part of Golbez's trial, or not, or fighting the shadow dragon in the dungeon and trial too).

I wonder if the Void story is going to be wrapped up in 6.4, but if it's going to continue to 6.5 then we're probably about to see a major event occurring in 6.4 that's going to be carried into 6.5 and beyond.

It's not strange that they aren't keeping it a secret because everybody expects it...and because they never show us something that is going to be a massive spoiler. Meaning they're going to blindside us at some point.

Yeah, they only hide the dungoen/trial name when it's actually a spoiler as to who or where it is (or in the case of Alzadaal's Legacy, because it actually wasn't a spoiler at all but they didn't want people to get their hopes up). Remember that trial names outside of English are just straight-up in the structure of '<Cool Synonym For Battle>: <Boss Name>', after all, so they can't even share the instance name when it's a spoiler what we're fighting.

The Seat of Sacrifice got hidden because the Warrior of Light trial was going to be straight-up a spoiler. Storm's Crown got hidden because 'surprise, it's the Four Fiends' was a spoiler, and Mount Ordeals got hidden because already fighting Rubicante was a spoiler. It's also the same reason they hid all the details about the 6.0 trials, but if you remember 5.0 and the 5.x patches, they weren't nearly as cagey about Titania, or the Weapon trials.

Golbez isn't a spoiler because for people who are up to this point in the MSQ know that of course we're fighting Golbez next. And if you're not up to this point in the MSQ... well, what do you expect, why are you watching this live letter?

Also probably fair to assume that said Shadow Dragon will be a brainwashed/controlled Azdaja - I'd always assumed we'd end up having to fight her one way or another.
