Q17: Will you be adding more to Edda's story?

[JayCommon]

It would be far more interesting to keep taking this one further down the rabbit hole instead of saving whatever is left of her.

Not only would it be more interesting, it just wouldn't make sense for her to "snap out of it" and have a happy ending. She is too far gone to be saved with some magic snap of the fingers. I didn't notice it until the 2nd time I ran the dungeon, but in the last boss arena the entire floor is COVERED in letters that spell Avere. They are....everywhere. Even the glyphs that light up if you let the adds reach Edda in the middle spell Avere.

I assume Edda carved his name into every ilm of that stone platform, suggesting that her psychosis is far beyond being saved. She is obsessed, and her obsession is the only thing continuing to drive her....

I absolutely love this storyline and would definitely like to see it progressed in this fashion:

I'd really love Edda to become something like FFX's Seymour; a recurring side-villain that becomes more and more of an issue as she sinks further into darkness.

This is a fantastic idea.

[Eekiki]

It's a wonderful opportunity that could potentially be one of the more memorable stories of the FF series, and I concur that Edda could become a great villain with the right storyline. Edda was an adventurer, and began her quest at the same time as all of us. We began as equals. We went on to become Warriors of Light, while Edda failed and slipped into darkness. The awesome could almost write itself.

Q17: Will you be adding more to Edda's story?

A17: Hmm...I wonder (laughs). I really want her to be happy... I guess it depends on everyone’s feedback, but I’m really curious as well!

Q43: Are there any plans to add more horror stories similar to the quest "Corpse Groom"?

A43: The 3 dungeons that were implemented in patch 2.3 had strong ties with the main scenario and each of them had a strong story. We will continue to put a lot of effort into the stories of the upcoming instanced dungeons (not just horror). Please stay tuned!

Spoiler, dont read...

Maybe she have found the the Dimension we are seeking by accident

The Dimension of the Ascians

[Nayto]

I'd rather have a dungeon based on this guy now.

Made me laugh when we came back to see him talk about his claim on beating "Leviabetus"...

... wanna see this man's lies be his downfall.

[faris]

I want her to scare the lalafell to an early grave.

[Riardon]

I would like to see the Edda storyline contunues. Her body may be (or may not) dead but her spirit is not as we saw in the last cutscene. Edda can be a really big villain. But I don't want a happy fairy tale ending. Time to get shite serious with her. I love Tam Tara HM. It's so satanic and evil and for once I felt nice killing those monsters instead of killing innocent pokemon like mobs in the forest. That place felt really dangerous. Edda became crazy to a point without return. Time for her to evolve in hell and coem back to haunt us even more. I think Edda must become something like Hildibrand with multiple episodes. Maybe not in Tam Tara again but we can always open a portal to hell and pay her a visit or smth like that.

[Riepah]

I'd like to see more of this.

Edda is the only female who has any plot significance that depends on a man. All the others are very successful adventurers, and even every major organization is led by a woman. This game has absolutely no shortage of strong women, one weak woman isn't offensive, especially since she is realistically weak IMO. She was weak because Avere and her friends constantly berated and beat her down. She probably ended up obsessing over Avere to protect her own sanity. Of course, when Avere died, and she was blamed for it, she just snapped. But she wasn't weak because she was a woman, nor was she obsessed because she was a woman. She was weak because others beat down her psyche. And that's why her snapping is so beautiful. It's a mixture of both overcoming her weakness, but not letting go either. She is a very real threat, which I don't think we feel from 90% of the other bosses, whether they are a threat to Eorzea lore wise or not.

The player (and Hildabrand) should find her head, and then make a flying head out of her too. Then the 2 heads can fly off into the sunset together.

I'd like to see the player's attempts at Edda's salvation foiled, and her sinking deeper into darkness to the point she becomes a REAL problem. I'm thinking her despair can carry a pretty badass storyline for quite some time, while also exposing us to some serious levels of black magic and necromancy. Tam-Tara was just the tip of the iceberg imo. Edda could be a great FF villain with a great background that offers players a compelling and satisfying storyline.

Spoiler Alert:

Edda is actually the Cloud of Darkness.
