New video is like 75% (did the math) 63.58% of old video >.< But 6:30 = Thancred Lives!

But interesting new things is @6:15, 6:22 and 6:35 Y'shtola, Papylamo and Thancred have odd steampunk necklaces/armbands.

Keep in mind that white coloured objects (in this case hair) reflect what ever light falls on them, in this case a room lit by candles and other earthy glows. If Thancred now had brown hair, this lighting would make it look even darker again, which it doesn't, which means his hair is still ash-white.

Wow they went all out for the realism then...

Why, how intriguing! Thank you for this illuminating indication. ^.^ I are have luverzez thou for you.

Hmm, I was actually a bit disappointed.
To me the 1st (old) bit is epic and I loved it already before, but the new bit just seems a bit "just put a bit of everything to it" to me. It should have made me go "OMG NOW I REALLY WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT" but it didn't do that.

As a "opening movie" I don't think this play its role very well, but that's just my opinnion (and as we know everyone is a critic)

I don't respond to you to disagree with you. You certainly have the rights to your critique. I, myself, wondered for a moment why the video moved here and there. But I considered that they called this a prologue, which often sets up the events in the bulk of a (let's say) "novel", but doesn't necessarily have to be a clear image of said events to be had in the novel. It's a rather sneaky way for an author to bring together some of the highlights of the story to catch reader's interest early without having to work for it later (Oh dear, I'm not selling this very well, am I?). I also considered the title sequence of Japanese animes and the rest of the video (after the End of the Era portion) reminds me of the way said title sequences are put together (I'm displaying ethnocentrism here, I fear).

What are your thoughts on what I have said? I sincerely hope I didn't make a weak analogy...I loathe having to read through one of those...I doth apologize if you had to suffer one at my hand!

EDIT: Would someone be so kind as to provide various screenshots of the suspected Survival Mark? I keep missing it in the video. I'm so sorry.

They all have this mark on their clothes. I'm guessing that's the one ^^
