3.56 MSQ Discussion (SPOILERS)

He Who Continues the Attack


FFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW000000000000000000000

Just a -little- excited. <_<;

So much feels!!! It was short, yes, but the battle cutscene was amazing. And Gogetsu is a trip. I can't wait for Stormblood now. I wonder who the spy for the Empire is... Also that guy at the end.... I get the feeling we KNOW him from somewhere. But maybe that's just my tin foil hat speaking.

I'm only going along with the given timeline. They never gave any implication of what time 1.X 2.X or 3.X spanned across. They could have taken weeks, months, minutes, etc...

When you play the entire main story straight through, it doesnt feel like much time is passing as you're going along. But since we wait months between each patch, the story feels like it's taking place over a long time

IIRC, we met him once, back when we first came across the Vanu Vanu tribe. I think we saved a Vanu Vanu from his men, and then he left on his airship.

I mean the guy that was on the throne or whatever. I don't remember seeing him before, but I get the feeling we've seen the person underneath the armor before. But it might just be me wanting some huge mystery/twist or something. :P

While I can't say anything about ARR for certain, in-game Heavensward's events came and went pretty quickly. If you talk to NPCs between MSQ you're told Estinien was only possessed for a few days.

That was Emporer Varis zos Galvus.

Zenos yae Galvus was who we saw at the end and son of the afore mentioned Emperor, currently acting Viceroy of Ala Mhigo since the death of Gaius van Baelsar, and the current main antagonist of 4.0 StormBlood.

We still don't know what Nero's real motivations are, plus we also still don't know how Nero even knew of the meeting in the first place. Alphinaud outright wonders about that last point after the meeting.

Gosetsu seems more likely to be a Hyur.... they just used a roe skeleton for his massive size. If you want to scream "No way!" then clearly you missed the fact that Nael (a Garlean Hyur) used an elezen skeleton.

And now, let the speculation about Gosetsu being a Half-Roe begin!
