I'm definitely getting the impression that it's Emma-centered.

When Rumple was talking about the "final battle" in the pilot, he was referring to Emma the savior coming to break the curse. And we know her savior status is particularly important this season. However, if they're going to actually call back to that and reveal that his vague speech was indeed referring to a certain battle that has yet to occur over the past 6 seasons, I feel like the build up is too weak for it to be Emma vs. Gideon. I don't think the guy is even going to be a real villain.

Maybe it's a battle on a bigger scale more like saviors vs. the darkness, than a 1-on-1.
