Final Predictions: Who shall die in 4.0

Hopefully Alphinaud

Im sorry if anyone likes him but I hated him since I started playing this game.

As for the others I don't care as long as we can have some epic bloody revenge ;)

Y'shtola. She is currently dying due to MSQ effects.

Tataru. She keeps putting herself in dangerous situations she can't handle.

Alphinaud or Alise. One of these two insufferable brats is going to die.

Raubahn. The bull from Ala Mihgo will be put to the sword in his homeland.

I predict Alphinaud will die and that Raubahn will leave Thanalan to help rebuild his home, possibly becoming someone important there. Y'shtola "dying" in the trailer will be a Red Herring. The scene with Krile being sealed I assume will be a sacrifice that saves Y'shtola as she is dying currently in the story, all be it slowly. She is the face of the Game outside the game after all second only really to the WoL.

The Garlean spy Tataru will survive all threats against her as always.

I like these bets. And they actually make sense. The Y'shtola attack looks very bad but they wouldn't really show a fatal wound so blatantly. Raubahn staying in his homeland makes sense. Ul'dah can manage without him. That Krile thing looks a lot like a sacrefice. Saving the poster girl sounds like a pretty good cause. And Matoya is too funny to be the sacreficial lamb. Girlpants had his time in HW and his death could enable the more interesting of the Leveilleur twins to stop being a secretary and show off her sword skills.

Of all my guesses the one I actually hope for is Alphinaud dying and Alise taking his place. I cant stand him for the same reason I cant stand people like him in real life. I'm a pragmatic man and can't stand whining and feeling sorry for yourelf and that's what this guy did for most if not all of HW. Always getting to the fight late just to hang his head and feel ashamed he left the work to us.

Alise on the other hand showed up, told him to grow a pair, then told us to hold her purse while she charged up a Limit Break and actually helped us smack down the Warriors of Darkness. If I lived in a fantasy world, that's who I would want following me around.

Who will die? Obviously the Dragoons, Ninja's who can't dodge, Back Mages who stand in their leylines despite them being in the bad and (according to the forums) White Mages as a whole.

I really liked the Alisaie arc in the final months of HW. She went from 'meh' to 'my new waifu' in a very short time. Hopefully she will continue to grow in Stormblood.

Tataru can go. That outfit she designed for us? Unforgivable.

http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...ia_Opening.jpg

Alisae has red and Alphinaud has blue in both old and new gear. Alisae is also a Red Mage. I think their fate has been revealed long ago in this poem:

http://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/t/20f...8697b132_0.png

Alisae will travel east with us and Alphinaud will be lost (dead or kidnapped?) in the western war. No idea what will happen to other characters though.

heres my predictions for the end of the 4.x seiries.

Y'shtola wont die and if she does it will be RIGHT at the end.
Alease will be mortaly wounded.
Yugiri will die,
the mercernary woman from garlamald controlled ala meego will die.
the doma "step on me lady" will die,
annnnnd i am going to say krille will be the one to be fully axed off from the scions.

Hildibrand >_> I know hes not part of the Story, but I hate this guy lol

Krile: Between the Revolution music video and the launch trailer she has exactly two scenes. One of them shows her with closed eyes and being locked away by magitec doors.

Thancred: A single repeated moment in both trailers after not being in the last patch. Last time he was absent for so long without explanation he got himself a nice new necklace.

Urianger: Also not showing up much. And since his job now is: play the Ascians for chumps, he needs a pretty good life insurance.

Gosetsu: Doesn't do much in the trailer beside having the secondary antagonist stomp on his head and sitting down in a way that looks a lot like prepairing to do harakiri.

Yugiri: Has a 1 on 1 duel with Zenos. That's bad for your health. Also her lord might cut her down if she fails her job.

Alphinaud: Suspiciously absent for most of the time. Alisaie starts being more active, which he tried very hard to avoid so far. Could he have died when he piushed Alisaie away from that attack?

Alisaie: Did you see all that blood?

Aymeric: He reeeeealy wants to make up for Ishgard not helping the Eorzean Alliance. Might do something stupid.

Raubahn: He is fighting to liberate his homeland. The perfect cause to give your life to. Ilberd also did it. He is great warrior but he only has one arm.

Tataru: Basically the only one without any particular reason to die. So the least expected.

---

Y'shtola: Poster waifu and Disiddia representative. Also it looks like an echo filter over the scene. Her days are numbered hard but I expect a full fake out the same way we got Nanamo. Can't kill cuties. Moenbryda was a Roe so there was no hope.

Krile: Likely wont die but will get the eternal sleep treatment the same as the guy from Crystal Tower. I'm hoping for sealed but can still communicate with Garlean technology thanks to Nero.

Thancred: Lost his pretty boy flirt status. He's been ready to go out while stabbing at least half an army since 2.0.

Urianger: I think he'll either be crippled because of the Ascians or his last moments will be getting a last important message out and you have to decipher it.

Gosetsu: Not cute, destined to die. But will go out a bro.

Yugiri: I think that would be great, for lore reasons. Will make "the good guys" questionable and would make excellent salty flavor for conflict.

Alphinaud: I doubt this. He still hasn't made up for Crystal Braves.

Alisae: Since when has blood been a problem in a Japanese work?

Aymeric: /laugh

Raubaun: All too fitting and I'm going to be sad. That poor lala eternally having fantasies at Camp Drybone

Tataru: Would be the shocker of the year.

Fordola will die.
Ala Mhigan raised to serve Garlemald. We just need the uber plot twist that she was the young girl saved when Yda died, and she'll have a redemption arc where she dies saving Lyse.
That would make for some good story I think.

That depends wether she needs redemption or not. She is supporting the country she was born into. But it IS likely that she is the young girl Yda saved, so it would be fitting for her to save Lyse with something along the line of: "now we are even" being her last words.

I would be surprised if Y'shtola died. Yes, they make it appear that way in the trailer, but that's what trailers are for.

I doubt they will kill off any of the main city NPCs: Y'shtola, Thancred, Lyse (for Gridania, they had two so that could afford to kill one off). But it's always possible.

They will probably do like they did with HW and kill off prominent but ultimately not super important NPCs.

I still don't buy Yda's death. You're gonna tell me the woman I saw back in 1.0...is not the same up to now? Gtfo.

its pretty obvious the main villians will definitely die Yosuyu most likely being the 1st to die either by hien, yugiri, or xenos. Xenos will definitely be killed or mortally wounded to the point he dies from said wound which will probably be a very impactful moment moving forward and be a leading cause to go to war on Garlemald soil. i think at somepoint Gossetsu will sacrifice himself for Doma. i don't think any of the scions will die in this expansion but it possible they get held captive and in fact i believe that's why we see Krile being locked up she may have been caught in an effort for Xenos to study the nature of the echo, and we have to free her. it appears that we may be seeing estinien return to the mainstory and his return could signify a sacrifice it may be that he sacrifices himself as a shield for us similar to haurchefant.

Tataru, Alphinaud, and Urianger would be my predictions.

Seeing how popular Y'shtola is in Japan and SE mostly listen to that player base i do not think she will die and i myself would be rather mad if she did.
Thancred or Alphineaud are possibilities

And i also like Taturu, damnit. No death for her

O god i hope alphinaud does

If anything I think that'd give credence to the idea that he dies. He still beats himself up over the Braves(and possibly blames himself for Papalymo's death as a result) and is altruistic to a fault. I can see him sacrificing himself as a final act of atonement. The problem there is that, with him and Minfillia out of the picture, the Scions don't have anyone handling the political side of things.

Maybe the WoL? Or Y'shtola?

Also, while I love the outfit Tataru made(It's one of my glamours) I hope she gets put to steel regardless. Death to the potato!

"Commander, tensions are rising amongst the Alliance as the Ishgardian House of Nobles wishes to deploy forces to Carteneau despite not having a Grand Company to act as their proxy. How should we proceed?"

*nods*

More importantly, who will *stay* dead?

Hmm, maybe Yugiri or Pipin ? Or perhaps Alphinaud, if we're lucky :3

"Commander, we've caught wind of an illicit deal occurring between the Ascians, and the resistance inside Kugane. How shall we proceed?"

D: >_< ;o;

"...Yes your dinner date with Lord Aymeric is still scheduled for tonight as planned."

I don't think they'd kill off Y'Shtola after how hard WoL & Co. worked to bring her back from the Lifestream in Heavensward.
Besides, major characters have been gravely wounded and recovered before. Remember that time Aymeric got stabbed by a hobo?

I dont actually think she will die either but there is hints that she might be slowing dying already due to entering the life stream

Which is actually the biggest piece of evidence for her surviving this: Whats the point of having that if she instead is going to die to something completely different? The only reason to really believe she dies here is if we actually saw her ability to use magic (and her life in general) weakening by this point.

They're more than hints, Matoya pretty much confirmed it the first time we went to her cave with Y'Shtola. She said using the aether around her to see was slowly chipping away at her life.

Gosetsu and Yugiri, one of those two will probably sacrifice themselves for their master (Hien.)

Well looking at the predictions/wishlists Alphinaud's days are numbered.

Raubahn is perfect target. We all love him, he is close friend to the WoL and Ul'dah can carry on without him. I will also be mad if that happens. Most shocking would be Tataru and I think it will generate instant hate points to whoever killed her. If they off someone, I trust it will be someone we already know or at least built some kind of emotional connection to.

I doubt it will be Alphinaud or Alisaie. Alisaie just joined us and I feel like the expansion is meant to be more focused on her like how Heavensward was more focused on Alphinaud, hence why we see her more in the trailer.

This, so much this

Let our WoL decide who must die! Always obediently and blindly the foe following what others will say, now it is the time to make a decision. There are times you cannot save everyone, and you must take your path.

I think Y'shtola is a red herring, she survives and every other Scion dies.

She was just so interesting and such a great character that was less than happy to see her go away.

If they do something similar in SB with a character I like at least I'll feel alright with them having a meaningful death.

Oh I agree. Even though her death hurt when it happened I was able to get over it because it made sense in that situation. We simply could not have survived the ship attack without her sacrifice. So without her there we would be death. With Haurchefant they could have gone so many other ways (for example making him hurt really much and put him into coma for some patches, this would still create some drama and tension) yet they choose a way which makes me feel stupid. Not only do we not notice something flying towards us (how did we survive the thordan fight later or even the vault dungeon?) but after he said something and we notice it, we have more than enough time to react..yet we stand there completely frozen..and then we watch how he struggles with it..this for me makes it a useless death which is only there for drama. And I hate such deaths. Especially since it changed nothing at all. We should have been able to react fast enough to jump out of the way so it would not have killed us and other than having a new head at the camp his death did not change anything in the overall story. That is probably the reason why I cant get over his death, which is the first time in all those years that this happens.

So I hope that if you kill off someone from the main cast that it will be more alike to Ysayle and not like Haurchefant..

I believe (and hope) that the twins will survive. Especially since many in this thread hope for his death.

My guess is that Y'shtola will be gravely wounded by Xenos but then saved by Matoya who gives all her life force to save Y'shtola. It'll be epic and we'll all cry over it.
