Do you think....[3.1 spoilers]

That we're gonna have to wait til 4.0 to meet up with Yda and Papalymo, or are we gonna go to Ala Mhigo in the 3.x storyline (3.3-3.5)?

Speculation is fun =D

We will have a reunion with those 2 on the next patch, you can be well sure of that.

Yeah, it seems like we will meet them on 3.2.

3.0 we reunited with Yshtola. 3.1 was with Thancred. Going by trend. The duo is likely, especially since we saw them at the end of the patch.

I think Minfilia is more likely for 3.2, actually... Go talk to Krile and Thancred in the Rising Stones...

They said they're still looking for a way to track Minfilia down in the Rising stone.

The Crystal braves who still side with the Scions already located Yda and Papalymo to be with the Ala Mhigo resistance but they just can't get the Resistance to trust them due to how majority of the Crystal Braves already betrayed the Scions. We most likely may have to step in for 3.2 since the Ala Mhigo Resistance can trust the Warrior of Light.

The Scion Crystal Braves have also located Hoary Boulder, Coutlenet, and F'lhamin to be located in Thavanir.

So currently Yda and Papalymo are the most likely Scions to return in 3.2 then followed by Hoary Boulder, Coutlenet, and F'lhamin since the Scion Crystal Braves are trying to make contact with them.

Along the line we get close to the Battle of Ala Mhigo as we get closer to 4.0 since I heard the Dragonsong war may end in 3.3 leaving 3.4 and 3.5 about reaching the expansion location which has been strongly hinted since 2.0 to be Ala Mhigo.

Thats what got me thinking about it kind of, I dunno if 3.2 will have us meet up with them or Minfilia (maybe with Alisaie?) I don't see us going to Ala Mhigo until after the dragonsong war, which is ending in 3.2 as far as I've read from Yoshida's statements

I think we'll find Yda and Papalymo in the next patch, or at least communicate with them from afar somehow. Why would they tease them so soon otherwise. As for Minfilia, I hope the Ascians capture her again, let them deal with her constant requests.

If Ala Mhigo is involved, I doubt we'll see any sign of the nation until 4.0 (Assuming Ala Mhigo is the focus next expansion). If anything, the Dragonsong war will end and the Ala Mhigan resistance will gain a good amount of focus leading up to 4.0.

Krile says;

"I have an idea how we might find Minfilia, but I'm still working through the details. Tell you later?"

Unless 3.2 omits Krile entirely, I'm pretty sure that is where 3.2 will pick up; Krile telling us her plan and us doing it. Whether it is successful or not is another thing entirely, of course, but I'd still say that's a pretty strong indicator as to where 3.2 will be going.

No, they haven't. Aergmhus is the only one to even mention them, and he only says;

"I'd wager those Ala Mhigans know where Yda and Papalymo went. In fact, I would not be surprised if they helped them to flee the city -not that they would ever admit to such.
After all, half the Braves up and turned their cloaks during a royal banquet. What reason do they have to believe us when we claim we're friends?"

We suspect the Ala Mhigan refugees in Ul'dah helped get them out, that's it. We don't actually have any idea where they are now, outside cutscene hacks.

The first time they teased Varis zos Galvus was in... 2.3? We didn't see him in person until 3.0, just sayin'.

Another interesting question, do you think Yda will have another mask or will she have her face revealed?

I think Minfilia will probably be the last person we run into, since she's the leader of the Scions.

Well, I think 3.2 will open with us doing whatever Krile has planned, but I don't think we'll get Minfilia back as a result. She ran off for some reason, after all. She didn't get captured or teleported away, she went off to do something, chances are if she hasn't been found yet, she doesn't want to be found.

We'll probably get something like;
3.0, Y'shtola.
3.1, Thancred.
3.2, failed attempt on Minfilia.
3.3, Yda and Papalymo.
3.4, misc side characters.
3.5, Minfilia.

The cutscene we actually saw with Yda and Papalymo also had them apparently getting ready to fight the Garleans... I mean, that's not going to be resolved over night, is it? Wherever they are (my bet is Pagthl'an, Ala Mhigo is way too far), the cutscene made it pretty apparent that they were busy with something. Can't see them going straight from that cutscene to resolving the whole thing and coming back to us by 3.2.

I hope so! That would be so hype, but if they don't I'll be fine with that too.

im going to call it here; minfilia becomes a boss at some point and we have to fight her.

Plot twist: Elidibus is Minfilia...

Anyway all Scions probably gonna get some fancy new clothes (even Urianger once his true intentions are revealed) before Heavensward ends

and when 4.0 hits, we can buy that stuff through mogstation

It looked to me like they were hideing out in one of the caves in the desert. There are a couple filled wtih bandits that are used for fates that would be a prime location to find them. IT cleary wasn't Little Ala Mihgo as the disguises wouldn't really be nessairy there.

Personally I think it's possible that Minfilia didn't make it out of Ul'dah and we will find out she died.

I don't actually think we'll be going as far as 3.5 before going into 4.0, as if you see the email we got for the letter in the new year, you'll see it mentioned that we're coming up to the end of the dragonsong story arc, personally i think 3.3 will see the end of the dragonsong story and then 3.4 will start on the story leading into the new expansion, and then may get a 3.45 and then new expansion, reasoning is i remember reading how SE would like to try and push an expansion on a yearly basis but i cannot find that material due to the success of the ARR and HW...

Think at the last Live letter, was mentioned next patch would be the end of the Dragonsong. That doesn't mean there won't be any story until 4.0. They will just continue with another beginning to the arc, maybe more on the Ascians?

And it's the easiest boss fight because she doesn't do anything.

I think what will happen is that we'll run into a "Warrior of Darkness" version of Minfilia who has on a slight variation of her old outfit, but she will infiltrate us by trying to convince us that she's the real Minfilia. Then at a later patch, Minfilia will sweep in heroically to save us from an assassination attempt on the Warrior of Light's life.

All of her attacks consist of using her linkpearl to sic the Warriors of Darkness on you. Or send them on pointless fetch quests.

That in the cutscene with Urianger and Edlidibus in some kind of dark library, the part with the boots and someone spying on them that the warrior of Darkness turned around because he thought someone was there? I think that was Minfilia spying on them. I kinda hope it was and I am really on the edge of my seat with this whole side thing with Edlidibus showing Urianger all these unknown secrets. The fact that Urianger seems to be willing to listen to what Edlidibus has to say makes me think this is all winding up to some kind of huge and awesome twist.

I'm more prone to think that we'll get to accomplish stuff because she sent the Warriors of Darkness on the long string of fetch quests. Can't fight us when they're going across Eorzea gathering rare foods for a banquet to commemorate the upcoming battle with WoL.

Well Tataru's new hat isn't going to make itself!

That's actually minfilia's special power. That's why the garleans wanted her. They wanted to see if they could harness her "render heroes busy" ability for themselves.

It looked more like Alisaie's boots, honestly http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/...20130725193800

Omg yeah it does. Ugh my bad. It had been so long since I watched it, I just went back and rewatched it again. UGH darnit I wanna know what happened to Minfilia lol. Oh well, this should still be very interesting. I hope when they wind this games story up it ends in some kind of calamity again and the next "reboot" or game in line keeps building on it like what ARR did with 1.0.

And the plot twist is: She makes the emperor so busy he can't finish taking over the continent.

I am the only one who wanna see the face of Yda instead of her boobs? :P

Fine fine both of them it is then

I believe that the patches after the end of the Dragonsong War will start building up the story for 4.0, which I guess will deal with fighting back the Empire and going eastward. 3.3-5 will probably see the WoL get (more) involved with the resistance movement, and I really hope the last patch before 4.0 will lead to an uprising against the Empire, culminating in a massive battle to retake Ala Mhigo (giving us the next expansion's starting point & capital).

As for the Scions, I believe Minfilia will be one of the last to return, too, and I think Urianger will have a major part to play in this. My guess is that he will "betray" the Scions in one of the next patches, and later be revealed to be a double agent. I simply don't think Urianger is evil, he's been through too much with the Scions to turn on them now.

I was thinking abit, I think with 3.2 ending the dragonsong war it'll look like this:

3.2: Dragonsong War ends
3.3: Aftermath ->Meet Urianger/learn what his goals are, and what he's doing with the ascians (I have a feeling it's going to involve trying to bring Moenbryda back)
3.4: Defeat the Warriors of Darkness ->Meet up with Minfilia again, finally
3.5: Take part in the Ala Mhigan Resistance/Uprising alongside the Eorzean alliance ->Meet up with Yda/Papalymo

I would have liked it if one of them died, to be honest. Maybe off Papalymo since we've got enough enough "smart and serious mages" among the Scions.

Yda could use being a bit more serious + she does display good insights/ ideas.

agreed papalymo is the only scion ive never liked so hopefully they kill him off at some point :P aslong as they finally show us ydas face instead of hiding it behind the mask ill be happy XD

You can kinda see her face if you try hard enough

http://i.imgur.com/4NW1eeF.png

I'd rather see Yda killed off. Or at least exiled from the Scions for throwing her lot in with the Ala Mhigan Resistance. Especially if Ilberd gets involved since he...you know...committed all sorts of atrocities in the name of 'Ala Mhigo' and that seems to be pretty common for Ala Mhigans if you look at the likes of the Corpse Brigade and bitter, cynical refugees infesting Ul'dah.

Would you fault Raubahn for Ilberd's actions too? I have a feeling after the Ala Mhigans learn of what Ilberd did, they'll either kill him, or exile him anyways, if Raubahn doesn't get to him first, at least

Isnt 4.0 out in a year & 1/2? I feel like HW will end around 3.7/8
