Griffith
With the streak of a tear, Like morning dew
The biggest revelation to me, that we didn't already presume, was the confirmation that Griffith wasn't merely targeting Flora but all such magical sites. It definitely suggests the gang won't be leaving by choice and has me excited for what's likely to be a cataclysmic penultimate battle when Griff sails/flies his unholy army to Skellig looking to finish the job. I also think it's interesting that, considering the players and the stakes, it could really be a most worthy finale since I think we've always presumed, at least I have, that Guts and co. would eventually come to him. Ultimately, I still think that happens for a few reasons, namely that we still need to raise the stakes and put our heroes in a taller burning tree, strange as that sounds where Guts is concerned. Having Griffith, and possibly the rest of the God Hand, come lay waste to the last outpost of traditional magic, kill the King of Elves, and generally do even more to wrong our heroes and put them in a deeper hole makes a ton of dramatic sense to both setup a final showdown and make victory seem that much more unlikely until Guts unites the last remnants of humanity together to for one last raid mission (we have to see Guts in the Apostle bowels of Falconia =). I don't think the end game has potentially ever looked so tangible.
I just hope Casca gets cured in time.
