A thought on 'The Coming Storm'. . .

I was browsing through the Rularuu the Ravager article on the wiki, and I noticed something:

Quote:

Uuralur the Mirror: Uuralur presides over The Garden of Memories. The beings that reside there are reflections of the worlds that Rularuu has consumed, though it is unclear whether he created them out of remorse or amusement. Uuralur has organized many of these reflections into a guard force that patrols the area and keeps the remaining reflections in check.

Maybe I'm late to the speculation party, but it seems plausible (if not likely) that or friend, Mr. Backwards-Rularuu, has something to do with Ouroboros, the coming storm, and these new mirror image arcs. (Disclaimer: I haven't actually beaten all the new arcs yet, so I don't know if any of this is revealed or disproven).

I'd hope Rularuu and the Shadow Shard get involved in this somehow. By far, the Shard is my favorite area in the entire game, and I'm always eager to see if the devs will find a use for it except for old filler missions and a few excruciatingly long TFs.

Not spoiling anything, but Rularuu/the Shadow Shard has nothing to do with the mirror arcs. You're close when it comes to the blueside arcs in that extradimensional shenanigans are involved (I'll say no more :X), but the redside arcs are pretty down-to-earth.

Yeah, redside has literal clones. Blueside has alternate dimensions, but Rularuu's dimension is more like the inside of his own mind than an alternate Earth.
