I will try to re-read again, but I just don't recall enough evidence in the text to really support this analogy at least insofar as it was a pre-established ideology to an equivalent degree. They...

I can respect why you felt that way, even though I honestly didn't feel it to the same degree in my own playthroughs.

Especially, I can see where it might make sense for the story to spend a bit...

In the end, it ends up just being a question of what the sacrifice should be and what should be the result. They basically all believed that there is no concrete sacrifice not worth making for the...

I think indeed it wasn't their intention, although I can see why the intention may not have landed for everyone. While it's true that the Final Days were making victims of some of society's most...

I think one of the biggest differences between Emet-Selch and Venat in this context is what they consider "their people." It's also tied to the wider conversation about how Ancients viewed death. ...

Well, I think the rest of the context before that is important too. First he blames Hermes for making him forget; that's the root of it all. Then he laments the 12k years of suffering he had to...

Honestly, I would say that the Japanese is quite the opposite. A more literal translation of his Japanese line would be "Still, the fact that humanity has gotten this far... It's true that this...

Just one important point about this. During the Live Letter, Yoshida specifically said that this latter part was not the lore reason, but only his own personal speculation. So the part about...

Regarding this...

In alignment with this...



Edit: In reconsidering my earlier theory...

More speculation...


Anyway, obviously all this is going way out on a limb in pure speculation. We'll see what happens...

MSQ Spoiler/Speculation

Another hint in Stormblood is the lore of the Dotharl -- there's a big scene where Gosetsu insults their religious belief and finds it unfathomable that their newborns would inherit the spirits of...

They did kind of address this in one of the optional dialog sequences with Emet-Selch. Lahabrea was weakening himself by constantly moving between bodies, which is something that Emet-Selch tried...

It's basically because they don't want people to use it as a permanent replacement to the Duty Finder and other leveling methods they introduce (like the latest deep dungeon when that happens, Best...

Regarding the MSQ:

In any case, this expansion definitely gives an awful lot to think about, and many more major questions left to be explained.

This may be a "don't think about it too hard" issue, but if the planet was divided into shards, what does that mean for the universe around each shard? In the trailer (and on the Shadowbringers...

I do think this is an important point. The Japanese rendering of this line makes it more clear that Solus is talking down to the Scions ("let me put this in terms you can understand..."), and he...

With the scene of our mystery Crystal Tower person holding a copy of Heavensward (along with the other inner-shard travel hint in the trailer) I think it pretty much confirms the time travel...

After thinking about this more with all the revelations since, I'm now wondering if this might just be a really low-key thing that means little. Like, for example, having come to this world flooded...

Besides what you said (which is totally valid) the other part of the issue is you delay the whole patch cycle to account for a bigger workload in certain departments, that isn't balanced with the...

I think this a point a lot of people don't understand (or they think he's just being glib when he says that). The problem the development team faces isn't primarily money or team size at this point...

Does anyone have the actual Yoshi-P quote about genderlocking? The one I found was from 2012 where he commented they considered adding the missing genders a "must have" before they added any other...

They also made very sure to emphasize in the keynote that only playable Viera would be Female (and vice-versa for Hrothgar), so that emphasis points even more strongly that we will probably see them...

I definitely agree that the war in Garlemand will not by any means be wrapped up. But, for in-game continuity reasons, I think our means for going to the First will be different than what happened...
