Thread: 6.4 patch speculation

I suppose so, but this seems pretty damn major in comparison to 5.4's. In fact up until you mentioned it I had never even noticed Lahabrea in that poster, I had to go back to check!

Also...

I just went back and checked 6.2's Abyssos cutscenes and it seems that Lahabrea "threw away" the right half of his sigil (technically his left side, but right side from our perspective), while remaining with the left one. The sigil seen on the image is "bad" side... I have a feeling Golbez might be very closely related to Lahabrea's other half, or he might even BE his other half. (Of course, this would imply that the Endwalker raid would have to be mandatory for the MSQ but I think they could very well do that)

Time travel is a free pass for continuity. Everything we have done or will do in Elpis/Pandæmonium has already objectively happened, whether we've experienced it yet or not.

That said, it's unlikely that they would tie it together quite so strongly, but they wouldn't have to make the side story mandatory to enable it if they did.
