The Scions and their Crystal Braves continue making terrible decisions. The narrative's repeated references to the Warrior of Light's undisputed fame, prowess, and just overall goodness has become pretty obviously foreshadowing: none of this will last. Another bit of of foreshadowing is how discovering a traitor amongst the Immortal Flames is also a hint at treachery closer to the WoL.

All this foreshadowing gets exhausting, however. It's clear the writers are basically seeding years worth of plot in each one of these patches, which on one hand is great, but on the other is a bit exhausting. We are constantly denied closure, living in a doubtless entertaining and intriguing limbo, but a limbo nevertheless.
