New Stormblood trailer (spoilers)

The story looks like its going to be amazing, though I feel like I saw too much D:

beautiful song as well.

Finaly more stuff, I hope they release the job skill trailer soon aswell.

Something thing I noticed:

- Alisaie is a Red Mage and in alot of the scenes, she is with the WoL. Could this mean Alphinaud is being replaced? On the other hand, Lyse is in almost all scenes, the ones in Ala Mhigo and Doma region... I think Lyse will be the new Alphinaud.

That trailer makes me think about going back to Au ra, love the new Au ra lore! :D

Interesting to see confirmation that Alisaie is in fact a Red Mage. I know some people had always assumed so, but her new abilities shown in 3.4 seemed so far removed from anything we'd seen of Red Mage that I wasn't convinced. But now we see her skills brought in line with the Job proper, which is cool.

Also interesting to note that Lyse isn't wearing the same outfit that she does in the Trailer, which makes me wonder if she might change at some point? Both outfits are very nice... wonder if both are gonna wind up on the MogStore before too long >.>

Besides that, loads of cool moments that I can't wait to see in full and proper context in the game itself. Like Lyse's confrontations with that Garlean-trained girl, or Y'shtola and Yugiri's separate confrontations with Zenos.

I don't know who that mysterious antagonistic looking woman in the kimono was but I love her already.

Good spot, awesome trailer <3

Never saw how there was doubt Alisaie was a RDM. She pulled a rapier from that book.

Some interesting scenes shown (and remembering the similar Dragonsong video before Heavensward's release, I'm going to stop short of theorizing the context of said scenes, other than, as fitting for a song named 'Revolutions', indeed it seems all hell ends up breaking loose in both Ala Mhigo and in Doma... which makes me wonder just how steep the cost in blood is going to be... on both sides.

Also I wryly smiled at the brief scene where someone paints "Liberty or death" on a wall, cleverly referencing the famous quote from the American Revolution, appropriately enough. :)

As for the song, it's okay, I just didn't feel... I don't know... 'grabbed' by it - it seemed to lack the dark despair of Answers or the melancholy of Dragonsong. That's not to say it's bad, not at all. It will probably end up growing on me in time though, especially once SB is released and I start playing through the expansion (and thus understand the context of the song and the scenes shown in that video better). Susan's vocals are still excellent as usual and Uematsu's score is beautiful. I guess I was just expecting something with more power, especially given the underlying subtext of war in the expansion.

Her is name is Yotsuya, this is her character description: The acting imperial viceroy of Doma, Yotsuyu's grace and beauty belie a heart of stone. A cruel, sadistic ruler, she harbors a deep hatred for Domans. Under the pretext of purging radical elements, she has perpetrated numerous atrocities against her own people. Yet all are the hero of their own story...

Her magical sword looked more like aether then a real rapier, so alot of players (myself included) thought that she was either a FFXIV orignal class or Magick Swordmans/Rune Fencer. Our Red Mage will have a Physical Rapier, but hers seems to be made from Aether.

Lol I'm glad I didn't go to sleep. How beautiful. I am soooooo excited.

I really love the new theme, and can't wait to hear how they inevitably fit it into the battle/boss themes for the expansion.

The trailer also confirmed some theories I had about what would happen in the story.

It was a pretty nice trailer and I'm glad that Alisaie was a red mage all along! I can't wait to delve more into the story! Is it june 17th yet? :)

Also doesn't help that her stance in that image is the same stance PLD's make when casting Clemency.

Likely intentional by the developers since Red Mage had yet to be confirmed. That, and they may not have had the animations finished by then.

I want Yotsuyu to step on me, too.

did anyone notice the captain of the ship sailing you to Doma ?

Unless I'm very much mistaken, that's Carvallain de Dure..Gorgagne

The one thing I'm really wondering about is whether Yotsuyu is Doman or Garlean ... given her (lore) description hatred of Domans I'd assume the latter, but there's no visible evidence she is.

I like how the theme song changes "mood" in regards to ala migho then doma =D

She's clearly Doman, but a quisling, a traitor to her homeland that is fanatical to the ruling regime, which is why she's Zenos's puppet ruler in the first place (I believe Americans use the term 'Benedict Arnold'). Which means we can already gather what her ultimate fate will be once the revolution is over. ;)

Yotsuya is a Hyur but has an Au Ra hairstyle #NPCprilvege

I like the theme but it still doesn't stand up to Answers, but I am excited to hear it's melody changed into themes and battle music.

Honestly not sure how I feel about the theme. I like it but I also feel pretty meh about it.

Do we REALLY need to defeat her? Must we really kill all Viceroys on sight?
Can´t we, like, listen to what she has to say? *cough*

The trailer makes the expansion look super exciting. Here's hoping!!

It's kinda like how Thancred had Gladiator animations when 2.0 was released because Rogue hadn't been implemented. I figured this would be the case with Alisaie, tbh.

There is a lot to unpack from this trailer.

I did spot Oboro in there. Looks like the NIN trainer will be making an appearance in the MSQ.

The Au Ra stuff looks interesting. I think we will find ourselves in the middle of tribal politics there.

I like the transition Lyse is having. She is still wearing some of her old garb rather than completely changing just cause she took off her hat.

At least taste her boot once before you decide to kill her. It might change your life forever.

There is a lot that I like about this trailer, including the music, but my actual favorite part is what we see of the Xaela in Azim Steppe.

The trailer and song was so good! Can't wait!

On the one hand, I'm hoping they get away from the magic sword pulled from a book, since that stretches suspension of disbelief to ridiculous levels.

On the other, I don't like Alisae so I'm not keen on the idea of her being a fellow Red Mage.

Ah ok I need to read up on the expansion info then

Maybe I've been playing too much Bioware games, but Yotsuya looks like she would be good as a transgender woman. I think this is the Bioware fan speaking though XD.

I just want Lyse's armorset. If I have to buy it from the mogstation so be it.

I thinks it's time to place our bets and guess which friendly face will die during the story. My guess is Gosetsu.

One of the remaining original scions (Thancred,Yshtola,alphinaud) and/or Yugiri.
