That screenshot you took has a goatee and wispy moustache, the Ascian has no goatee or moustache in sight.

OP why do you say "betrayal"? Just because it looks like the Scion will fall apart for the start of Heavensward doesn't mean they are betrayed.

Ul'dah is one of the Scions allies and members of Ul'dah forces will be turning on the Scions due to Teledji's influence.

Teledji is instigating a revolution in 2.5 Part 2 to take Ul'dah and the destruction of the Scions by using Ul'dah's forces.

The Scions moved to Revenant's Toll to break away from allying with a single city-state. More than likely what happened is there is an outbreak over Nanamo's decision to make Ul'dah a republic, which is what was mentioned in the previous Main Scenario.

Their neutrality is to state that they do not favor any of the 3 City-States.

The Scions are still allied with Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania through political means which is why they still obtain aid (information for their operations and resources to support Revenant Toll's development) from the three city-states.

So just ignore the fact that the whole city-state is in uproar over Nanamo's decision?

Well the incident with the Uproars did not escolate until 2.3.

The alliance with Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and Gridania was formed through 2.1 to 2.3 because the Scions was more focused on establishing a proper alliance with the three city-states. Of couse through 2.1 to 2.3, the issue in Ul'dah was not well known how sever it was yet since the Scions were still focusing on rebuilding and moving at the sametime.

2.5 is just the point when it finally boils over.

Kind of, only this time they seem to put up much more of a fight. Last time it was basically a slaughter. Based on the trailer, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see everyone pull through and re-group.

Also, not seeing where people are getting the idea of a betrayal in the trailer. . .

At least it would feel like the rest of the Scions are finally doing something this time even if it demanded a crisis to provoke it. I know we were having to be an errand boy/girl when Revenant's Toll was taking shape, but even now in 2.4 it still feels like we're just running around doing everything ourselves while the Scions sit around and talk philosophy.

The question is, who made Tataru cry??!?

It seems only lalafells are capable of shedding tears in this game.

[Evangela]

It would be cool if some of the scions died. I mean, Heavensward is supposed to have a darker feel about it and letting the scions die would be a nice transition. If I had to choose it would be Alphinaud, followed by everone's waifu Minfilia. Both are annoying as heck.

I hope Alphinaud will die. so tired of a midget like him acting like some kind of leader.

The Brass Blades never had any loyalty to anything but coin in the first place.
