Was that in the launch trailer? Since that didn't happen until, what, 3.1? 3.2? I know it was in the trailer for that patch, but was it shown as early as the launch trailer?

seeing Ixion makes me happy

I doubt that Y'shtola will die, though - she's the game's mascot. I do hope there's a few major deaths, though - it'd certain be realistic.

A generation isn't enough to forget family members murdered, and mother, sisters, daughters being made into pleasure women for an invading hostile force. Saying Erozea is the aggressor is tantamount to hearing an attack from a room full of hostages and blaming the rescue team for going in aggressively.

As far as Y'shtola , i believe she will survive but be horribly injured. Room must be made for an old friend to come back help us out this go round.

Depends on whose viewpoint it is I guess.

The real problem will arise from those born after imperial occupation. It's all they've known, and likely they see the resistance as people making their situation worse. It's what the empire does, conquer, then take the children to be educated in "proper civilized" imperial doctrine (read brainwash). That's how we end up with people like Fordola I'd imagine.

Ah, it's finally upon us. I'm fondly remembering the big debate that began the day the Stormblood teaser was released, back when she was the Lady in Red. Let's have another "Is she a DNC?" debate during the 24 hr maintenance, just for the hell of it.

Well, that arm-blade we see attached to her "Red Dress" outfit is certainly more unique than anything else I can recall seeing, even when compared to other "Unique" weapons (Y'shtola's staff, Thancred's mismatched knives, etc.).

Do I think that makes her a "Dancer" (Or some other potential new job tease)? Not really. Arm-blade might be more unique than anything else yet seen, but I think it'd be easy enough to throw together, combining bladed MNK weapons (ex: Adamantite Jamadhars) with something that overwrites arm textures (ex: Fists of the Sephirot), so it's not like they'd have to design a new style of weapon for it to exist on an in-game model.

If you look closer or pause it at that part one can think it is Estinien.

He's holding a blood red Gae Bolg. There's no way it isn't him.

Well it seems that from the trailer we will get our ass handed to us by Zenos and have to flee to Doma to gather allies and get ourself stronger too. After that we will be back.
I am still not sure if they did not just show too much again because I kinda get the feeling like knowing quite the part of the overall story after seeing that. About that one scene: Yes Y`sthola will probably survive that even though such a slash should have killed her. (But cant have your mascot die right?) Still would have liked it more to have them stopped the scene after we see her looking shocked so we would wonder if the shield broke or not. Kinda took some surprise away imo.

Also kinda interesting that Alisae got hurt too while she has her sword out. Could that happen after she showed of her skills? Kinda like putting her down.

Maybe I am the only one but I found it frustrating to see our character on the ground after Zenos comes in. Are you telling me that our character that slayed primal after primal, even killing Thordan and his knights alone and after defeating Nidhogg (with power up put still) is put down by one single Garlearn? Yes he is the son of the emperor but they cant use magic. Thats is imo the problem if you have a character that slays deity like beings often and if you want him to loose..its kinda unbelievable. Either stop making such huge threats to be put down or stop making the WoL in cutscenes so weak. We should be on another different level than other Scions and characters. I really hope that there is a reason that we have to go otherwise I will just facepalm alot..
