Do you expect them to render every single possible combination of characters for the representation of the WoL in the CGI trailers and launch more than 1000+ of the same CGI scene but with a different model in it?

I would think it would be a bit more symbolic to change into one of the new jobs like DRK (lol atrologian) than to switch into a dragoon. I guess they were aiming for a defender of Ishgard vibe?

The Derplander as people call him added nothing worthwhile to the trailer at all. Could've just left him out entirely and instead shown an extra scene or two of Ishgard being attacked by dragons.

He represents us and Shows us fleeing to ishgard and fighting for Ishgard, he also Shows what many Player were missing during the 2.55 CS's (some emotions besides our usual nod)
I think it is good that they added him to represent us and i also think that his presence in the Trailer is rather important.

Even Derplander got tired of the high expectations on tanks and rerolled DPS. :C

FFXIV: NANAMO DIES THE MOVIE, IN HD!!!

And Derplander's pained face... wait... WAIT, I've seen it from somewhere...

Just call him Adventurer. ^^

I guess some time has passed if Raubhanana looks like that.
What ever happened to Derplander's crew? The other WoL's.
I wish they put them in the mix more.

I'm a little frustrated that a few characters won't shown in the recap of the 2.55 ending. Ilberd is(?) just a silhouette of a man holding a sword off to the side and nothing is shown of the Scions risking/losing their lives throughout our escape.

Aside from that, this had me very excited for 3.0 and beyond and I also value the presence of the Derplander, allowing us to follow his story as well as our own.

It's just been a couple of days. All they've really done is messed up his hair a little and changed his spirit. He's no longer the proud radiant lion of Ul'Dah.

Just like the derplander i started this game as a warrior thinking it was a dps class

I imagine not having the blessing of light would really hurt when those Brass Blades start to cast Ultima.

Yeah we need more crewmembers. We need non-evil Lalafell and a few Au Ra

New Scions => Yugiri NIN , Tataru AST, Cid MCH, Randomale Au Ra DRK, Twins SMN SCH and the pope to replace Minfilia's uselessness !

I dunno...Tataru keeps giving us weird looks...Maybe she's up to something good or bad...

No, it was not. 1.0 had many pre-rendered cutscenes. They just overlaid realtime graphics on top of them, it was very convincingly done.

I don't think there was that much, the intro, the battle between the scions and Gaius, and the ending.

I meant other adventurers in derplander's crew but yeah a new supporting cast would be welcome as well. I want representatives from beast tribes to work with the Scions. I want sylphs and sahagin in my team.

I wouldn't say it was white but you're right, it is paler. His beard has also grown out a bit more than one would expect in a matter of days. The devs said:
"Q3: When you first start up FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward, how long has it been since the end of the main scenario quest in Patch 2.55?
A3: It has been about a few days to a few weeks (Eorzean time) since the end of the main scenario quest in Patch 2.55."
(Yes, I misremembered about it being just a couple of days too.)

Maybe more time passes within the storyline itself, or he's still in there a number of patches later and the trailer's jumping ahead..? I dunno.

But he's from 1.0, it was practically DPS then.

I think it's just to show how much he is weak and maybe the lightning is changing the color much, it's supposed to represent the scene in the prison we see in the end

Pretty sure it was just the lighting that made his hair look white.
As for the beard... well, maybe he is just one of those men that grows hair really quickly?

Tataru is a traitor, pretty sure those blood pearls had something to do with killing Nanamo. Making necklaces my ass.

I seriously don't understand why people hate the Highlander so much when he has only served to be the representation of our character and the default appearance of the Warrior of Light since 1.0 era.

I won't be surprised if later during a future X.X main scenario if they pull a all 1.0 to 3.0 or 4.0 or whatever X.0 event was just our character experiencing the Highlander's life through the Echo so they can create a stand alone X.X Main Scenario that serves as both a continuation and a new storyline while making the Highlander and his friends into actual NPC characters for the Main Scenario.

This would be amazingly stupid/annoying and would cheapen the story until that point. Mercifully, I don't imagine that's the case.

Or maybe Raubahn has white hair and merely dyes it black. Since he has no access to beauty products in prison his natural color comes out.

He is not a highlander. The 1.0 cinematic calls him midlander. As for the hate: Most likely because a white hyur midlander male is the least imaginatice choice for a player character out of all the possible combinations.

I think that decision was made on purpose so that he would be both recognisable and simultaneously easily dismissible so the player could overlay their own character on top of him. He's so average in every possible way that he's a blank slate to many.

They could have easily made him a female roe with polka dotted hair if they wanted something more iconic and memorable, but they chose a different strategy and I think it works. He'd never be a stand in for my Crystal here, but hey, he is for many other people.

I like him in his own character's right, watching his personal story unfold, just like I'd like watching a friend play the same game but making different choices.

me all i see it's the death of nanamo and the fact that Raubahn is alive is the only point of the 2.55 story arc they are confirming. making me wonder what did happend to the other scion, dead or alive, i guess we will not know before the 3.x

So did Derplander's party disband? =o

It is a standard race. Nothing specific, nothing that stand out. Perfect as an "he-who-represent-every-player"
