Lyrical analysis, frame by frame screenshot recap, just shouting things you saw that made you excited. We all know it's coming.

Aaand GO!

CARVALLAIN AND BIG CROWDS OF NOT-THE-WARRIOR-OF-LIGHT ALSO DOING IMPORTANT THINGS! WOO!

JUGGERNAUTS ARE BACK! ALISAIE'S RED MAGE WEAPON OFFHAND ENDS PETTY DEBATES! WOO!

[Rocl]

HELLO I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE LYRICS.

THE RETURN OF THE LOST HEIR OF DURENDAIRE AND OBORO ARE VERY EXCITING TO ME.

Sing a song of dawn,
dawn--the day reborn:
Breathe deep of the dawn before the storm

This hearth, this home, wrested forth from tired fingers,
Bathed in blood and sealed in stone
Souls scarred, twelvefold
Beckoned by the bells of vengeance, spirits bold
A lover lost, a family torn
A solemn pyre raised to rouse the slumb'ring heavens
Fire in your eyes, fire in your hearts
Steeled as you sound the horns of war
Yet know the cost...
For who shall mourn,
when light is quenched that another might burn brighter?
Let not the rays of justice blind
and trust in grace and She shall guide

Soft is the breeze that can set a petal free
And yet 'tis the storm that doth see the petal soar
High are the [trees in the throes] of liberty
'Til unstirring skies consign her to memory
One kingdom's fall is another kingdom's freedom
One sovereign's war is another sovereign's peace
One mother's pride is another mother's sorrow
Their tears both soak the land that they love

Two lives, two swords
Give an end to shadowed whispers; wicked words
Yet tell me who doth louder call
A rival's pride or the oaths that spur her onward?

Your time is come, a choice bestown
Tonight for unsung saviors hope
This night you need not walk alone!

Doma is flooded, what? Why does that Auri chieftain have a Axe of the Crags? Is that young Gundobald writing "Liberty or Death"? That old man looks faimiliar with Sice too... the new Garlean airship models! The new centurions! Temple Knights and Grand Companies side by side. CARVALLAIN! Yotsuyu isn't a godsdamned Au Ra. Alisaie is a Red Mage, thank god. Obvious things spelled out in perfect detail. Underwater? Oxyale?

"FOR WHO SHALL MOURN WHEN LIGHT IS QUENCHED THAT ANOTHER MIGHT BURN BRIGHTER?"

HELLO YES I WILL TAKE 10,000 OF THIS LYRIC.

The 'main' Scions seem sparse here--good, I like that. Finding Hien on the Steppe, weird but okay. The whole Steppe thing is weird to me, but I suppose it will make sense eventually okay yes. Wha tthe hell is with this mystical Au Ra urn? Yotsuyu, the Battle of Doma, OBORO, Gosetsu getting crushed, Fordola in a Castrum!? Yugiri vs Zenos and a summoning of RHALGR? LEIVELLEIUR TWIN BONDING!? PEASANT REBELLIONS? Don't blink or you'll miss Aymeric and Lucia near the end of the trailer standing against the Garlean forces with us!

SIGN ME UP FOR ALL OF THIS. RAUBAHN AND PIPIN CHARGING HEADLONG INTO BATTLE.

Did you notice the Resistance wearing the 'of the Griffin' PVP hoods!?

[KageTokage]

More hyped for the Azim Steppe then ever after seeing the story bits there.

I'm curious as to what it is that's going to motivate the Xaela tribes to help Hien liberate Doma, since they're known for being isolationist and xenophobic and there still hasn't been anything to indicate that the steppe is being troubled by the Garlean rule so far.

"twin knives, two swords..."
"given in to shadow whispers; wicked words."
"yet tell me who doth louder call..." (cannot make this one out much XD)
"a rival's cry for the oaths that spur him onward"?

Rocl lyrics fit better, ill still leave these up though incase they "help" XD

[Unholychinchilla]

It's a small thing but a while ago when trying to make a glamour the seemed Xaela-appropriate I used the star velvet robe and, oh look what we see, those Xaela with the urn (and the same skin tone as my character no less) wearing!

This is a good moment for me. So excited for Azim steps now.

[YianKutku]

Curved. Swords. /skyrim

I'm looking forward to another campfire scene; the one in Heavensward was great for character depth, and how they reflect upon the events that have occurred.

For some reason, the big cannon at 4:57 reminds me a bit of the Mako Cannon/Sister Ray from FF7, but on closer inspection it's probably not big enough for that.

[Alice_89th]

Carvallain!! Oh yissss.
So many side cast characters getting screen time! I am either going to love or hate Yotsuyu but I know I love her clothes!

Don't blink or you'll miss Aymeric and Lucia near the end of the trailer standing against the Garlean forces with us!

I blinked.

[Rocl]

I blinked.

Don't worry, I got you:


(Quite literally standing with us. Hah! Wordplay!)

[Konungarike]

I've watched it three times and still I can't find Carvallian. May I trouble someone for a screenshot/time stamp?

Forgive the quality, but approximately ~1:46



The Elezen gentleman, obviously.

Also don't worry, I've been furiously updating them as I think I hear something anew and your post definitely helped me with the last line there!
