A technologically advanced Shard as an antagonist would also work well in creating a new overarching saga now that the majority of the big enemy factions, Garlemald and the Ascians, are no longer in play, and would pave the way to build up to greater inter-Shard conflict.

[[WMG: The technologically advanced zones teased for Dawntrail are ''not'' precursor LostTechnology - instead, they belong to colonizers from another Shard.]]
All of the technological areas, as well as the Destroyer boss, don't look anything like the Allagan Empire's technology nor anything that could have belonged to the Ancients, and one of the dungeons teased looks like a very well-mantained, advanced military base - leading me to theorize that the main antagonistic faction in ''Dawntrail'' will be a civilization from a technologically advanced Shard that managed to master Rift travel on their own - leading to them expanding into the Source. Either that, or aliens.

** Both jossed, the melee DPS is the Viper, who - while it has a swashbuckler-esque aesthetic - is more of a hunter than it is a Weapon Hunter or Corsair.

[[WMG: Labyrinth of the Ancients is Like That because Amon/Hermes got (even more) depressed]]

The first area names being Pools of Folly -> Demise -> Oblivion? Really specific for no clear reason. It could easily be Hermes' reflection on the short lives of the sundered. Same with the bone dragon reviving and the platinals being skeletons.

The Atomos section is admittedly harder to place, being more in line with Emet-Selch's disdain with the sundered's lack of unity (maybe that's where he got the idea), but Thanatos being the boss is some pretty obvious stuff.

The last section marks the point where Hermes went all apocalypse-happy, if all of the sudden lava is any indication. King Behemoth is the prototype for all the reused-model lookalikes now, but him dropping instant-kill meteors is reminiscent of the Final Days. This also explains why he gets a post-defeat cutscene, the only one of the non-final alliance raid bosses to have such so far.

The "Labyrinth" being called that while it's really just three straight lines with barrier shenanigans involved also makes sense under this logic. Amon thought that actually working to build a labyrinth was too hard, so he put down a couple teleporters and then left.

Bonus mini-theory: he's responsible for most of the adds (sans Xande in CT and the voidsent in WoD). Scylla, for example, comes right the heck out of nowhere - who is this woman and why does she have dogs for heads? - but after we hear that Amon turned some dude into a man-bull hybrid, her existence makes a little more sense.

This is running on a dramatic idea of Travanchet (a) being an incognito Convocation member and (b) never losing his body since 1.0. As of Endwalker, the ''only'' members of the Twelve who aren't known to have switched bodies after that time (and might still be alive) are Pashtarot and Halmarut. Pashtarot, however, was revealed to be using a Hyur body in the 2.0 stinger, not an Elezen body. That leaves Halmarut.

Jossed:Emet-Selch stated plainly that the 13th was a shared failure due to it being their test run/first attempt at a rejoining. Additionally an Ascian only loses their memories when they are reborn and Mitron's transformation was the basis of the Flood of Light, Igeyorhm's was not.

The real Golbez never being voiced and their face being purposefully hidden feels a bit odd, and their AllLovingHero status would definetly fit a shard of Azem, while Durante's almost obsessive devotion to his best friend, long blond hair, and distinctly raspy voice would fit a shard of Zenos.

When Meteion arrived in the planet she based the Nekropolis on, she found it completely empty and devoid of life, but without signs of violence, natural calamity or destruction of any kind, it was as if every single living being just up and dissapeared in the blink of an eye, and the cause remains unknown. This will eventually be explored, and the cause explained, in a future plotline.
