Oh man does the alliance raid questline really end on that note of uncertainty?

Starting the final round of cutscenes and I know this is a big moment and I'm feeling it too...

But I also can't stop thinking about a Curb Your Enthusiasm-style thing where like the WoL drops these soul vessels in a chocobo stable or something, or hilarious body swaps, or

I'm disappointed that there's never a dialogue option to call him Raha. I guess the WOL likes to keep things formal.

So what exactly happened in the Heroes' Gauntlet, then?

The proper summoning ritual brings people over entirely, which is what happens to the WoL and the others in the Hades trial. Botching it gets what happens to the other Scions, separating soul/mind from body, but there's still a tether.

Elidibus says he basically did a smash and grab on a bunch of heroes with their souls not even needing to be whole? Does that mean there are a bunch of people who are soul-damaged or whatever across the shards now

Hmm this has me thinking... does the 5.3 raid development mean that the 2B/2P mirror match from Soulcalibur VI is indeed part of a unified canon...

Bozja is near Ivalice I think. And quite the distance from Garlemald proper, so an airship heavy force would probably be useful.

Yeah I think they're in the same location, but just with the general "legion number vaguely resembles game number"

Did people complain about there being too much stuff to do to unlock the Ivalice raids? Because the NieR unlock quests are breakneck in comparison.

They probably could do more with the intermission quests and the ones post-raid if they wanted to, though

I was waiting for Zenos to snap and murder him, so yeah I'm on team 'he's going to get sick of this poo poo.' I really really hope Zenos isn't actually the primary villain of 6.0 though, since we already played that expansion. That said, we presumably still have to deal with the Empire once and for all at some point, and he's just about the only character left we know (aside from Gaius), so maybe it's inevitable.

I hope the groundwork in 5.4 and 5.5 will be good.

Speculating about what the hub cities in 6.0 will be... is Terncliff a teaser? With the importance of the SoFro being established and its proximity to the Garlean empire itself, I'm still hoping for Radz-at-Han

The final n3 boss will simply be a raid action of a button that has a 20 second timer. If anyone presses the button, the raid wipes

quote:

Yoshida showed off a peek of The Puppets Bunker, the second chapter of the YoRHA Dark Apocalypse alliance raid compilation with NieR Automata. They had to adjust it a lot in testing and when they showed it to Yoko Taro he said “Oh if we die, we die, ok? You should make it so that the whole raid wipes if you press this Duty Action.”

Yeah I think painting the Elidibus theory as "punching a baby" isn't really in good faith, I can imagine him being a precocious teen, which if you look at the history of FF protagonists... would not be out of place at all.

And I know there were people complaining about "ugh why are we starting off this patch with more fetch quests, dumb delivery filler AGAIN" but it is a solid writing plant to start this chapter off by encountering kids who are imagining how they would save the world

The whole thing about Fandaniel being obsessed with gold does add to that, I think.

Personally I hope it means that 6.0 will be a commentary on the limitations of individual heroism in the face of capital accumulation

That's pretty much the implication from everything revealed so far though, Azem wasn't aligned to the Zodiark or Hydaelyn factions and probably wasn't onboard with the idea of the fracturing of the Source. Everything seems to be building towards moving past the need for artifically constructed godheads that rewrite the rules of creation and putting the ol' reigns of history back in the hands of man.

Putting the reigns of history back in the hands of man, eh
