2.5 - Before the Fall

[Nalien]

Maybe there will be less of a focus on them than before, but I don't think the concept is going away any time soon.

I believe that's exactly what Yoshida said; they wont be the focus anymore, though Alexander is a thing now, so as usual I'm getting mixed messages from the guy...

I could actually see the Mystery Trial being Zodiark, since all the pieces for us defeating the Ascians are already in place save one, and I'm thinking the 2.51 story content is marking the return of Nidhogg, with "The Battle for Ishgard" being the dragons first assault, which we help repel resulting in Ishgard welcoming us in come 3.0. So 2.5 could resolve the Ascians storyline with 2.51 setting up the expansion. I'd still put my money on Ultima Ballad 2.0, though.

The mystery trial is Odin, I believe.

There is a decent chance that this "Mystery Trial" will be Gilgamesh Extreme.

I was under the impression "Urth's Fount" and "Revenge of Gilgamesh" were self explanatory.

To be fair, I had skimmed over most of the stuff from the last Live Letter, since I was really only interested in information on the new jobs. Still, good to see that Gilgamesh is definitely getting an Extreme Mode.

...Still hoping that he drops joke weapons. >w>
