When you talk to Graha Tia in the scion HQ in mordhona he'll give more information on that with a lot of speculation on the actual process.
But basically the memories of his older self merged into his younger self. His soul has also become denser like the WoL according to Y'shtola.
Not sure about Cyella but given the Edenverse storyline and how ShB has been putting new links to the 13th and Unukalhai still being part of the Scions it feels like we're not done with the 13th yet. It might all became relevant soon again in some way.
Also I don't think the requirements to meet Cyella in ShB are a hard no for having her appear again in the future. Quite the opposite FF14 has had no problems calling back from optional content into the MSQ. It's more a matter of having to reintroduce her if anything.
But Graha Tia, Estinien, Yshtola's sister are some examples of that.

So remember the NA fanfest where Shadowbringers was announced, that slide said specifically in the xpac that "It's time to once and for all TAKE DOWN THE GARLEAN EMPIRE", and only for Yoshida to do a nope we are actually going to the First.
Do you think we will take down Zenos in 5.4 and 5.5 and move on to something even grander in 6.0 or that original announcement was a big red herring?
My hope is we end the Empire as we know it by 5.5 but still going to Ilsabard in 6.0 because some crazy shit is happening there like Zodiark summoning or something.

Zenos being bored and a over the top patantomine ascian was hilarious and not best way to tease future.
Man that was such a great ending to that arc. Can't believe that this is a MMO. It's a crime that so many people won't experience the best Final Fantasy since 9/10 (in my opinion, 12 was great, but the second half was pretty bad unfortunately). I don't even know if that is not my favourite Final Fantasy now.
Fantastic finale to Shadowbringers. I can't wait to see what 5.4 and 5.5 have to come.
I too don't mind Zenos as a villain, because as some others have said, he's a form of controlled chaos. He has no aspirations of conquest or dominion, he just wants a stronger opponent to fight. Like a DBZ character.
... which speaking of DBZ, WoL&D and G'raha totally took Elidibus out in a Perfect Cell like way, lol
Also, literally my face the moment you realize the Ancient is Emet-Selch with his hand wave.

So, while we're here... What parts got everyone all teary or outright crying?
Exarch's final conversation really got me good. Seto and Ardbert had me wiping my eyes the whole time, and then Thancred telling Ryne he was proud of her followed up by Lyna's speech fuckin' destroyed me, man. I was not expecting to be an actual mess by the end of the MSQ.

That Gundam quest was rushed holy fuck.
a new weapon is sighted
Get in the gundam WoL
Fight win

My suspicion that Elidibus isn't exactly Elidibus more than panned out, damn, but even I didn't see all the twists and turns there they had waiting.
And let me be a Necromancer, pls gods
Absolutely, and I agree that they'll be reintroduced into the MSQ together when it becomes appropriate to further fill out the fall of the 13th shard. Go talk to her now that you're done, by the way, she has a few new words!
Let Chemists throw items in their inventories!
And let me be a Necromancer, pls gods
After asking him how he's doing in the Rising Stones, I'm convinced it was a merger. He remembers his long life on the First, but his memories of the Crystal Tower and the WoD waking him up are now brand-new and immediate. He is young again and feels it.
I'm still very much eager to see him attempt it and Zodiark take his body, for sure. Give us a cathartic, horrific transformation where his skin half-sloughs off, his eyes become dead and empty, and the only spark of him left is the bestial desire that can no longer even form coherent words. Feral Zodiarkenos runs on all fours and just looks like a hot mess, he's the beast of the apocalypse!
*hastily scribbling a box onto the chart labeled Chaotic Chaotic Neutral*
I was teary for hours nonstop, so I'm going to restrict my list to quivering lips and/or crying:
- Lyna and the Exarch's farewell
- Seto and Ardbert's reunion
- Dulia Chai and Alphinaud's farewell
- Lyna's speech
- Halric remembering aloud Tesleen's words of encouragement (I cried like a fucking baby)
- Halric and Alisaie's farewell
- Thancred telling Ryne that he's proud

To be fair... I imagine a lot of the work went into making assets for Terncliff, all of the animations and such for the G-Warrior itself and making it to play good, Sapphire weapons whole shit, and so on.
So while short, I'm guessing a lot went into it.
Also I want more Terncliff now. Something about that town felt very cozy.
These.
I have been yelling about necromancer for years
If that shit let's me dress up as an edgy death boy I will finally play a healer.
Yeah, I noticed a few new things happening, different from all the old canned animations the game has long used. Really noticeable at the end, between Alisaie's boredom antics and Krile actually being shown lifting food into one's face (and taking a bit of it!).
No more offscreen eating, or "eating air" moments. Next Gen is here!
zenos can work they need to rewrite his character or double down on the bored hunter concept. I say double down and embrace this bored man who just wants to do some sword crossing with you. Him having a echo really makes him interesting they just need dive into it have him relive memories with it so it affects him mentally more and more.
Where is Unukalhai at now again? Haven't talked to him since Heavensward. He's not at the Rising Stones anymore I'm pretty sure so... Azys Lla? Unless I've just missed him in the Rising Stones every time. Or wait was he in the Waking Sands? It's been so many years. lol
My theory on the Azem crystal is that it was Emet Selch who made it in secret. Hythlodaeus was definitely friends with Azem, but Emet is the one who orchestrated the crystal trail through Hythlodaeus's shade, and is the one who throughout ShB constantly referred to WoL as if they went way back, in an intimate manner, was visibly upset when he realized that friendship would never be the same as it was and that their ideals were opposite, and is the one who shows up to help when WoL needs it in the ascian rift. As Elidibus shows at the end when clutching the crystals of the former convocation, old bonds of friendship don't die so easily, even if seemingly forgotten.
I liked him in Stormblood but he's started this trend of bringing back all these characters and retroactively having all these fake deaths that I heavily dislike. My only real criticism of the FFXIV story anymore.
Would totally like to see Emet Selch again. Seeing him in the trial was a nice touch.
coming soon, the true antagonist of the current arc
DARK MOENBRYDA
True enough, that was indeed high grade baloney. Stormblood really kicked it up a notch with like three in one patch.
I just want Zodiark to be revealed that he's actually a little baby dragon thing like FFXII. That was the funniest shit that this tiny little creature was wreaking havoc and it would be even more hilarious in XIV lore if that was the source of all our troubles.
I believe 100% that XIV Zodiark normal form will be the shrimp. Probably change to its serpentine form on phase 2 or something.
This is where I'm at.
After everything that was learned from Emet-Selch, I still can't fully trust in Hydaelyn and her blessing, despite it being the WoL&D's saving grace.
He is literally best boiReddit - Dive into anything

"Sorry to disappoint, but I'm quite fond of heights!"
lmao
i love him
Not a fan of Zenos but him eating Zodiark just like he did for Shinryu and us being blessed one last time for a final fight by a dying Hydaelin would be sooo predictable, I wonder if Fandaniel is going to throw a Kefka at him at some point.
He probably will.
Next expansion being the "last" may sound sad but a firm ending for the main storyline probably needs to happen, I wonder what we are getting after that though, new "continents" with their own subplots for a few more expansions like XI? One can only hope.

I think the only way they could make Zenos work is having him be FFXIV's version of Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter. I mean, he's basically Joker and Hisoka, except without any of the personality.
Don't make him the real villain. Have him be an evil rival that will sometimes side alongside us against other shit.
Otherwise he's so boring, and will never hold our interest in the story as a follow-up to Emet-Selch and Elidibus.
Then again, they managed to make Elidibus interesting, so I'm still holding out on hope.

Also, and probably a more obvious one, if you talk to G'raha Tia in the Rising Stones after the last quest; you can show him a minion of the Exarch, you get a nice little cutscene.
There's also some stuff with Urianger that raises some miiiiiighty interesting plot points. The Azim Steppes is a far more interesting zone after learning that the WoL sat in the seat of Azem. Especially with how Temulun talked to you while you were in that zone. The zone was written by Ishikawa, too.
The zenos conversation in here is halarious
Ya'll : Man they will have to do this that and the third to make him work
The actual audience: " I like him because he's chaos incarnate"
Him not working is why he works for a lot of people. Not saying you all are wrong , Its just fucking funny
