Dedicated Thread for Patch 2.55 Story Discussion/Spoilers

[Nalien]

And, on a totally random, unrelated note, is anyone else expecting the epic facepalm moment of Raubahn getting set up with a Magitek Arm?

I hope not.

The most I'm expecting from Raubahn is a special guest appearance in the next Deus Ex.

Was I the only one getting really strong Red Wedding wibes before that banquet? I'd cought on that some shit was gonna happen thanks to the forums, but not exactly what. Now I know. :I

hahaha yeah, when the guard called Alphinaud, I was like "I have read enough Game of Thrones to see where this is going" xD

I just found a NPC in Ul'dah that saids

Mimishu at the Gate of the Sutana in Ul'dah

So I don't think she is dead.

Finishing the CUL lvl 50 quest after completing 2.55 makes me think she's really alive . That was a bit of a story breaking shock! (slight joking here, but for real doing that CUL lvl 50 quest after finishing 2.55 made me raise a few eyebrows)

I only just started the DRG story (after finishing 2.55) and Estinien had no idea who the hell I was (even though we acknowledged each other in the 2.55 scene). I'm willing to simply call patch chronology and move on.

As there is a coverup going on in Uldah perhaps they have placed a look-alike on the throne for now and our characters play along with it so as not to rock the boat before it's time for action? Only way I can rationalize it lol.

Except even Lolorito treats her like the real deal. In his internal monologue. Oops. Unless he's lying to himself?

I'm kind of surprised they didn't just slap all of the old quests in an Echo.

Seeing Nanamo during the Culinarian questline would have been no different than running around Ul'dah in 1.0 with Minfilia as a little girl.

Granted, we can just pretend that is what's going on, but polish like that is the kind of thing I'd expect from SE, or any major developer (who isn't Bethesda and instead content to lump that on the modding community).

Considering the 1.0 MSQs happen as Echo flashbacks without us knowing... I'd say one line from Middy once we start the expansion can clear that up.

On the theory that Ilberd is Gaius, I just dont believe it. Maybe Ilberd thought that the strategy that Gaius used in his city-state was really good and did to Uldah.

I dont know I just really think Gaius is dead

Well Ilberd - pure garlean = not Gaius. Its pretty much obious xD
Besides he knew Cid and his father, long before Cid came to Eorzea, so he cant be, a 100% no lol
