The 2.5 (Part 1 & 2) speculation thread

This might be a little generic but my theory is that all of 2.5 will end right where the 3.0 teaser begins. That dragon at the end may probably be like a general or leader of the first wave and precursor to the expansion Aside from that, I'm wondering more Ascians are themselves are still hiding among the Scions like when Thancred went off and was possessed by one. Only waiting for when it becomes necessary to take control of a physical host. I'm also wondering about Urianger, since he's been off on his own alot.. doing research.

Thank you Corvinoobus for explaining :)

Now that Kotemon mentions Ascians among the Scions still and worried about Urianger being posessed... have we EVER seen a non-Hyur body shape under one of those cloaks? I mean Urianger's ears would be very noticeable if we saw an ELEZEN ASCIAN... And that makes me wonder why they tend not to possess anyone but Hyur males...

When you are possessed by Ascians in the past, you still have and keep a connection with them. That connection may be used for any scope. Both Scions and Ascians needs be worried. :)

and let's not forget this that was shown at the very end of the 2.0 ending (in relation to the mother crystal and the ascians)

Really enlighten information.

I know in a interview around the time 2.0 was comming out, they talked about how they planned to have some kind of similar live style event like what we had at the end of 1.0. Remember how every update dalamud would get bigger. It was a tiny star, and it gradually got bigger every update. Dalamud over several updates Then we started having strange weather events. Like we would get Aurora lights. Then we started seeing empire ships flying all over the place. Also lets not forget how the mobs went from bite-sized to bite your arm off size.. Then finally dalamud was hanging in the sky, with clouds swirling and lightning and everything. Sense we have so few updates before expansion I know we can't expect to see so many gradual changes as we did then. But I fully expect to see something going on with Ishgard over the next several updates. Maybe we'll see this shield around it between a couple patch's. Or see Midgarsormr sitting on the bridge, or maybe dragons flying around it, with the place on fire. Outside of any cutscenes that is.

Do you know what Urianger says at the start of the trailer? I cannot understand the full line, I actually miss a few words.

'The northern sky doth burn full bright upon the wyrm lord's call,
the red behemoth beckoneth and flame consumeth all.'

I'm willing to bet this is a prophecy from Sharlayan or Louisoix. The wyrm lord is most likely Midgardsormr as his call is what united the entire Dravanian horde in the assault on the Agrius back at the start of 1.0. The red behemoth is probably Nidhogg as the description doesn't fit Midgardsormr at all and he's currently the only other known candidate to lead the horde in the invasion.

I'm still not 100% sure that Hyd is actually the *source* of our Warrior of Light abilities, though she definitely takes an active role in the whole thing. . .

Well, right after Ultima she's still speaking to Minfilia. And I'm willing to assume (though I admit it's a guess) that Iceheart's talk with Hyd is after that, too. But, yeah, the WoL hasn't heard from her in a while.
