So I know most of us are expecting Diamond weapon with
either Alfonse or possibly Allie trying to save her brother being the pilot and Zenos being the oversoul identity
but what if the 5.5 trial is instead
Lunar Bahamut. I know it might seem far fetched to believe because ever since HW we have only had a required MQS trial in the X.3 patches but I believe there is evidence that Lunar Bahamut might be the trial for 5.5 in the MQS and Diamond might not be.
For one lets look at the weapons questline as to why it might not be diamond. In 5.3 we were introduced to our own mech to combat diamond. However instead of implying that this would be a one time feature with it being destroyed, the way some of the characters refer to it, and the fact that we can even go to see it and pose with it in the hanger makes me think that it will be used again in the future. Now this could be a tool used in future expansions, but what if it is used to combat the Diamond weapon, with some upgrades to make it a much more epic and involved fight then sapphire.
Now for the evidence that it might be Lunar Bahamut. For one this is a a threat I imagine the main characters might try and take care of before kicking off 6.0, to make sure Eorzea and Doma are somewhat safe before venturing most likely into Islabard. The other main reason has to do with some of the content in ShB feeling like callbacks to ARR. Norvandt was an alternate version of Aldernard with certain parallels, we fought alternate versions of the original Primals as well as the Cloud of Darkness in the Eden raid series, we fought oversouls of Nael and Gaius in the weapons series, even going so far as to bring back Nael's dreaded meteors to some degree, even Amnesis Anyder's final boss had a similar mechanic with the bubbles under the hatch doors being an indication of adds spawning like last boss in Satasha, the very first dungeon in the game. So what better way to cap this off then a fight against Lunar Bahamut, with call backs to the original Bahamut fight at the end of the Binding coil of Bahamut, the original raid series for ARR, with perhaps a remix of Answers as well. This is also a mark against Diamond possibly being the 5.5 trial as well due to Zenos not really having any ties to either ARR or Legacy.
Does anyone else agree this may be the direction they go or will it stick to tradition and Lunar Bahamut be the one dispatched in a single player duty or saved for a trail in 6.0 like Shinryu was and Diamond will in fact be the 5.5 trial?
