New Trailer

[Anonymoose]

Perhaps Anonymoose can help me shed some light into this as I don't tend to remember all of the details.

Anonymoose can't wait shed some light on this one - but he has a big project that's overdue, first, and doesn't want to get into this one without being able to say what he wants to say well and actually back it up with evidence.

;~;
SOON.

In the meantime... keep on that train of thought.

In the first days of dawn, old enemies become new and two were never two.
The highest among beasts and the hoarders of horns would dim the six to silence the one.

Lol, I really love you Anonymoose(in a not gay way). You're like the offspring of Fernehalwes around this forum XD. But anyway take your time. I just hope that my deduction skills haven't rusted. I enjoy trying to figure things out or uncovering someone's identity like some detective. XD

I didn't think the trailer was that impressive. The biggest problems were the pacing of the trailer - it didn't really carry a strong "trailer narrative", and by that I don't mean a story, but the idea where it shows you what happens. There was always so much going on because they purposely transitioned from move to move to move or a super brief clip and it created a visual overload where nothing made sense and it looked like they were trying to hide anything "digestible". The "best" moment of the trailer was the great After Effects [or whatever] work [for the first time in the FFXIV trailers]. The XIV was slow, deliberate, digestible, and commanding.

I would have left the beard off of Cid - looks forced. I wasn't impressed with the voice acting either, oh well.

my sentiment exactly

I couldn't help and make a second post to try and decipher your little riddle. I love riddles. (I'm bored lol)

In the first days of dawn, old enemies become new and two were never two.

I’m guessing you’re trying to say that what seemed to be two threats/two camps were never two to begin with but a third unknown threat was always present (Possibly hinting to the hooded guy?)

The highest among beasts and the hoarders of horns would dim the six to silence the one.

Highest among beasts, I guess that would be Bahamut The second part will either refer to bahamut again or to the one that controls all the horned voidcreatures we saw during 1.0. Both of them serving to restrict the 6 primals to bring out the mothercrystal/the one singing to us and bestowing us with the echo (forgot if she had a name. I’m so bad at remembering finer details like names and dates)

Hopefully my deduction skills are somewhat close. But I’ll wait and see. Can’t wait to eventually see your full report on all of this. But again take your time with it. I’m just being bored and excited over here XD.

Another thing I just noticed, between 2:08 to 2:15. Was that party fighting BUGBEARS?! You know, these guys:



Did anyone else notice a similarity?

Those are Gigas (link to FF XI Wiki) and not Bugbear.

Yep, you're correct. Gigas...

*Amazed face*

Anyway, I'm now curious about the lyrics that were in that trailer at points.

Edit: I just realised, I have now gotten to the point where I am pausing at every possible frame I can for information. I am really happy about this =D

I think long time ago they confirmed that GIGAs are going to be much likeley the beastmen tribe which warships Shiva. coming along in a snow region.

its much more similiar with that appearance i think:




And have you noticed also the new side character "Alfino"?
- A new organization called “Clan of Dawn” (Akatsuki no Ketsumei) will play an important role in the story of the new game. A new primary NPC named Alfino is a member of the clan and will be voiced by Shinnosuke Tachibana (you can see the character’s portrait below).

very small scenes with him

Prepare yourselves, I'm about to go all seiyuu otaku on you.

All this time I thought that the three voice actors Rikiya Koyama, Rie Tanaka, and Miyuki Sawashiro would be voicing Raubahn, Kan-E-Senna, and Merlwyb respectively. It made sense at the time because of the three signatures alone on that one CE box. But watching this trailer, it's very obviously Sawashiro voicing Minfillia, and very obviously NOT Sawashiro voicing Merlwyb. I know she's been in the voice acting game for years, so there's a good chance there are a few different "voices" I've not heard from her, but the deepest she's ever really gone was as Inaba in Kokoro Connect or her character in Strike Witches. In the trailer, when Admiral Bloefhiswyn is speaking and she reaches a lower range in her voice, there's a resonance in it that doesn't exist when Sawashiro is speaking.

Though I'm not at all disappointed (Sawashiro's voice is a touch too high for the Admiral) I unfortunately I don't recognize whoever is voicing Merlwyb. Anyone care to help?
