Anyone ever wonder why ... (Ascians)

Don't still look like this?

But instead look like some chumps in robes and silly masks?

I understand that maybe they take "Human" form to interact with other people but I liked the more grim reaper appearance and utter mystery behind them in 1.0.

I actually hope they re-introduce the reaper style as something more important than the Ascians and a individual entity of it's own.

I hope for a more reasonable purpose to them rather than just be "Evil"

"Oh we are evil and we wish to destroy everything muahahahaha"

Erm...why?

"CAUSE WE'RE EVIL!!"

Or this form (also from 1.0)

Maybe the human form was easier to do dialogue CS with?

I thought they didn't have a real form and inhabited humans. Could be wrong though.

With any luck this is the case and the next final boss for the main scenario is the skeleton version.

Daaannnggg, 1.0's version looks way better than 2.0's.

Ascians holding a human like appearance are overlords, those skeletal ones are lower tier Ascians. That other guy is Tranvanchet. While he's never confirmed to be an Ascian, it is very obvious he is one. He's simply not weaping the Ascian robes.

Feels like it should be the other way around...

I still remember that cutscene from 1.0 when you first see an Ascian in Thanalan and how the said cutscene made me fill chilly down my spine @_@ I miss the 1.0 Ascians for sure!

These ARR ones don't scare me one bit >.> So what if there's, like, tons of them. I'll just DF the hell out of 'em all :rolleyes:

For those wondering, here's the cutscene I mentioned: CLICKY!
