Starting to wonder if 8.0 takes us way off course. Lopporits are involved with us in 7.5 and now that they have a grip on interstellar travel, I wonder if they'll write in a whole new planet (or shard travel so the scions can go). Yet us going back to Garlemald tells me we may be getting the Corvos/Blindfrost expansion that ties in to whatever overarching plot that involves Halmarut. Would nice to see Gaius again, if he's not locked in sidequest stasis to come along with us as a guide and if we're hunting down an ascian he thought he killed way back in Stormblood.
