Dedicated Thread for Patch 2.55 Story Discussion/Spoilers

Sultana is alive, just very ill.

It's called a cover-up.

Stopped reading on page 33 and I want to address something, if it was already mentioned, not sorry, but I want to say it.

People are saying that why did the other city states pull out of the banquet during the commotion but you have to remember that foreign involvement in a domestic problem might spun out a bigger war. Let's say Limsa and Gridania intervened in Ul'dahs coup and they do not succed on topling the monetarists (which they wouldn't having only a personal guard) you're going to spin a bigger war against the other nations and more reason to control the whole Nation of Eorzea.

Something else, people complaining about plot holes in jobs, gatherers and crafters storylines. Remember that the stories where implemented before 2.1 even rolled out, so timeline wise those stories are even before the Scions are even formed.

Exactly. There is also another NPC, I don't remember which one says that the populace as well as officials are being fed lies to control the masses.

4) Lot of people said that their WoL was super neutral on his emotions of the events that happened on 2.55. Well that "problem" has been fixed on the Heavensward trailer. We cleary see that the default WoL showing his emotions and anger, and he is us. Just imagine that all he experienced but on us which tenicly is what happened lol.

That did annoy me a lot and I hated my own character for her lack of emotion shown at almost any time during the whole sequence of events...the severe lack of emotional animations combined with the stupid nodding of head when told to do things that would pain the character to do or be opposed to doing yet did what was told with nod of the head and no emotion shown. I liked the story behind the events but I hated my character during them due to the lack of emotions shown and incompetence of the character during the scripted scenes.

It made me character look amazingly stupid, incompetent and soulless. Just straight faced nodding to leave every time someone supposed to befriended or cared about potentially gave their life to keep me alive and minfilia and even when parting with minfilia herself plus the gormless blank stares at so many of the surprises and betrayals. Out of the entire sequence of events, that annoyed me the most and as for the trailer...that is not my character plus people shouldn't have to go watch a trailer outside of the game to get the experience meant to be in game. They should just fix the lack of emotional animations issue in the game itself during that sequence of events.

On a side note I wonder what is going to happen with Urianger in so much as the effect will have on the primal unlocks at the waking sands during the next stages of the main plot. If he at some stage either becomes bad or due to main plot moves from there then would players still be able to chat to him about primals and unlock them or would SE auto-unlock all primal modes without the need to speak to him given at a certain stage the remaining primal unlocks became detached from the main plot and so did his character for that process.

As for Nanamo I am certain she is dead because even if she survived the poison the monetarists would not let her live and would finish the job so she would not become a thorn in their side later, the rumor she is alive being told to the common folk is just to prevent more anarchy while they consolidate their power but once have complete control they may have no need to placate the commoners. I hope she lives...but I don't think story wise the monetarists would have let her live even if survived the poisoning unless SE adds another element to the story in which she has information about something that they need to get from her before they kill her. In which case the monetarists would lead you and your allies to believe she died so would not have reason to try and rescue her and to the common folk told was incapacitated so they would have no reason to create more anarchy while they get that information from her but once got it they would certainly kill her and blame it on you claiming she succumbed to the illness from the poison.

Where did you take that screenshot of and how is Y'shtola there? o_0
Is that a REALLY good PC dressed up as her? I know most of the Scion's clothing can be equipped on the player, but Y'shtola looks like the real deal!

And Minfilla and Thancred can have each other... Y'shtola is mine! Mine you hear! Muwahahahaha!

Cosplay. I believe she is 1 skin tone darker and her shoes are wrong, pants are darker
and don't forget! She has the eye-glass...thingy mabob.

Good, cute and funny pic nontheless! ^^

[VirusChris]

snip

Then I have to say that was a very good look-a-like there! And the Aetheryte Goggles Y'shtola has... yeah that would've been a dead giveaway that she's not Y'shtola, too bad the players can't get their own.

And how is the picture you've shown considered "funny"? Good and cute, most likely. But, funny? I don't see it.

[Naraku_Diabolos]

Wow. Has Pokemon got more gorey since the original series?

In the manga, it shows an Arbok getting sliced in half.

Not enough people have read Special. Shame more people don't know what they're missing.

I need to get back to reading it some day, so far behind.

[Frederick22]

Well that is your own opinion, seeing that the WoL deafult showed some emotions it gave me relief. Since what happened to him, the same happened to us lol.

Btw guys I'm not sure if anyone asked this before. Did anyone notice that there is a traitor on the Temple Knights? Thats the reason why Iceheart was able to trespass the bridge and break the shield.
