Game of thrones ish ending *Spoilers*

I don't think the Adventurer's Guild purposely set us up. After all they weren't the ones to give us the vial.

However I think its worth pointing out that while this was clearly a major blow to our characters, its probably not as devastating as everything we have fought for being torn down. We don't know if all or any of the Scions are actually dead. Nanamo is the only one we can be certain of. Even then traveling around the world and talking to NPCs it shows your cred with the populous still carries weight. While you are a fugitive you have allies who will help you even if they cant do it openly without risking war.

The other point about the light's blessing being striped, I think its a core part of these events. Midgarsormr is testing us. We are getting protected by a weakening goddess at great cost to her. He is testing us to see if we are really worth that. He wants us to prove we can still overcome while relying on our own strength.

As for the two month thing, that's more because unfortunately the expac was delayed a month which drags it all out.

I don't know anything about Game of Thrones, and generally avoid comparing one story to another.

To give my two cents and explain a bit... the PC wasn't betrayed by the Adventurer's Guild. Talking to any major city's innkeeper and Slafborn in Mor Dhona shows they're still on our side. We were framed by the Monetarists using Crystal Braves as puppets; specifically Laurentius, who we really should not have trusted with that whole vial business (he was selling Wood Wailer patrol information to the Garleans way back when).

Everything we've done isn't for nothing, though; most NPCs we can talk to express their belief in our innocence, and though Gridania and Limsa can't help us because doing so would both tell the Ul'dahn authorities where we are and get said authorities mad at them, they're still not going to haul us in. Ul'dah is similarly safe because there's been no official statement on what happened at the royal banquet.

All in all I felt like it was a good and shocking ending, much better than WoW's standard expansion lead-in, and am very much looking forward to Heavensward (even if I'm gonna redo all the 2.x content as an Au Ra before I get to the new story).

Really has it? I looked everywhere but I've not found anything saying that... much sadness if so. Understand, but still sad.

To be fair with Laurentius, we were trusting Buscarron's opinion of Laurentius's character and giving him another chance. Bad call on Buscarron's part. Laurentius might have once been an idealistic and good willed young man but no longer. That's the thing with giving second chances. Sometimes they pay off (Wilard) and sometimes they don't.

When they released the release date at PAX east, Yoshi-P apologised to the crowd that the release date wasn't in spring. He said they had tried really hard to hit a May release date but really wanted to make sure it was fully polished and so pushed back the date a month.

That's why we have a June release date rather than one in spring.

True, true. Still, I can't help but feel just a little responsible, given we personally recruited all the named Braves (except Ilberd).

Ah, just a little miscommunication then.

Still, June is only 2 months away from now, and if you preorder and get early access you'll (or rather, you should be) playing it in just under that time frame.
