The Great Betrayal!

I'm kinda curious. What do you guys think of this picture?

The guy on the left looks like Ser Aymeric. Both are Elezen. Both are wearing that fancy blue armor.

Aymeric has incredibly pointy ears.



I'm also fairly certain that's a Hyur.

This sounds EXTREMELY far'fetched, but what if us dying, converting into Aether and returning again, grants us a greater power or a completely new combat mechanic we can use in 3.0?

If this were the case then it would be quite strange to have us getting hit by the beam of light now.

The beam going through the WAR's chest could be the Blade of Aether/Light used to stop Lahabrea and ~you know who~. It could also be something else entirely. The trailer is kind of shrouded in mystery and confusion, it's really hard to make heads or tails of what's really happening. Speculation is fun tho.

I dunno man. I mean that drawing has him looking straight ahead. His ears look huge compared to a Hyur. Look how far up on his head they stretch. BTW, I never noticed it till now, but his second-in-command has hyur ears, even though she's physically an Elezen. Angles, always the angles.

It's be a nice twist if Ser Aymeric was controlled by the Ascians.

Well years ago Yoshi-P did talk about wanting to get a Melee Mage into FF14 back before FF14ARR was released.

He mentioned Gun Job (now confirmed to be Machinist and release in 3.0), Dark Knight (now confirmed to be released in 3.0), Ninja (release in 2.4), and Melee Mage Job.

Now 3 out of the 4 Jobs he mentioned are or have been released into FF14 which leaves only the Melee Mage but no info for the Melee Mage has been mention since then.

Looking at this image I think it is the warrior of light. I think the armor is the Bahamut Armor.

It looks more like the Dragoon armor, I think? Mainly because of the chain mail. Nonetheless, if that is truly the warrior of light, I'm pretty excited to progress through the main scenario quest chain. Though, if I had to make an assumption, one of the first few things you'll probably be doing in the quest chain is the Keeper of the Lake dungeon since 2.4 ended with us needing to investigate the area. I assume that after the dungeon is finished that we get stabbed by that arrow of light through the chest. PLOT PLOT PLOT. At which point, you get rescued and brought back to the Rising Stones or somewhere safe.

There's not much information in the trailer itself but I imagine chronologically...

Just a few assumptions;

The Ul'dah thingy should probably happen near the end and cannot happen before Iceheart since Aymeric and Minfilia are present.
The Ul'dah thingy can't probably happen unless the Keeper of the Lake dungeon has been investigated because it was requested by Aymeric.
Minfilia being captured has to happen at the end because she is more or less present in the other scenes.
The part when they break the auracite has to happen before the Ul'dah thingy, since all the scions are present.
Lady Iceheart's appearance may likely occur sometime after the investigation of the Keeper of the Lake, yet also sometime before the Ul'dah thingy, since Aymeric is present.


P.S. Take this as a grain of salt. This whole thing is pure conjecture on my part.

I thought Elezen have pointy ears? I'm sure the guy on the left doesn't have pointy ears.
