3.2 Main Scenario Preview

I still want to get Yda and Papalymo back :(, I started in Gridania and my two Scions are not back with us! ><
I love the art for The Gears of Change too ^^, immediately downloaded it to my phone from twitter :D.

Calling it now. Minfilia is now Hydaelyn.

I think it's because I have a really strong distaste for her. She basically amounts to a damsel that we have to constantly save/help/doeverythingfor, and I don't feel like she's really... integral to the story. Very little would be lost without her. There's nothing she provided that really gave us a unique experiences (lest my mind is playing tricks on me - I would welcome correction on this.)



Literally, to me, her one trait comes down to "I'm the leader of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn." She's basically a very large plot device to push the story forward.

And I really hope she doesn't ascend to some sort of goddess like the other posters are speculating. Obtaining power without actually doing anything (Compare her journey to our character's journey) would just be another black mark against her in my book. I want her to do something, so maybe she can start redeeming herself - but I'd really just rather start seeing other characters.

Replace the "crystal chains" on her legs with tentacles....???? Profit!

Did her breasts shrink? Or maybe the old outfit was just padding?

I'm favouring possession over ascension.

"Minfilia is now part of me, etc."

In 4.5, once Hydaelyn's gone insane trying to remove all darkness from the world by destroying stuff, we'll have to beat her Minfilia avatar, and then have a heartfelt moment as the old Minfilia we knew briefly reawakens cradled in our arms and gives us *that* smile before her broken body gives up and she finally passes from this realm.

Until 5.0 when Zodiark, as a favour, reconstitutes her mortal form and saves her spirit from the aether with the one caveat being that she must stay close to his power and live on the moon, which we visit on Cid's new new new airship.

Looks like she sacrifice her Body for Hydaelyn to take physical Form in Eorzea, but why?
Seems like everyone knows more than we do...

So they turn minfilla from utter useless to jesus...

already talking about this in this thread

I think Minfillia is the vessel for Hydaelyn (rather like lady Iceheart and Shiva i.e. both sharing the same body)

i still would like to know what Hydaelyn said to Minfillia for Minfillia to say "NO!" during the end of the 2.55 MSQ

Looks like she will be a vassal for Hydaelyn to use to become a living being on Eorzea. That's my opinion of course. :)
