Heh, I noticed that too - I think Enki has started having very restless nights where she has nightmares of seeing herself in place of Aldis there facing execution at Highbridge accordingly.

where is the adventurer that saves us then? Q.Q

[Enkidoh]

Well, I guess the best we could hope for is that Aldis decides to repay the compliment....

Hope that is sadly misplaced as the axe falls...

[Enkidoh]

Haha that is genius!

Oh Teledji - if you'd only been able to keep your mouth shut things would have turned out so differently.

Teledji Adeledji --

A madman till the end. I knew as soon as his eyes went so wide his lids could no longer contain his irises that he was insane from the start. He could've used lessons from the Joker. Too bad he ded nao

Is it really too bad? I hated him. He gives Lalas a bad name.

So finally caught up and it's kinda strange to be like the fate of the rest of the Scions, uncovering the assassination plot, rescuing Raubahn, the whereabouts of F'lhaminn, Yugiri's new role, the Ascian threat etc and it's like "now go somewhere else!".

Though I do hope we get a nice change as far as visuals go, we got a little tease of Yda's face so now no mask? new mask? Be interesting anyway.

[Belhi]

Well we are going somewhere else to regroup and re establish ourselves. Its difficult to set up shop when your being hunted.

All I can imagine is that they wanted the Warrior of Light to escape so that hope still remains in Eorzea. I guess as it stands now, you (WoL) are Eorzea's last light, and if you get extinguished, the world may as well end a second time.

This is pretty much screamed during 2.55 and is

the reason why Minfilia and the Archons all sacrifice themselves to slow down the pursuring Brass Blades and Crystal Braves, so that the Warrior of Light has the best chance of survival to 'restore the light', as they're the only hope for Eorzea's future (Y'shtola and Minfilia even directly tell you this as they farewell you). Even though our powers are a little dimmed due to Midgardsormr's meddling with stripping the Blessing of Light from us, we are still Hydaelyn's chosen, and if nothing else holds Eorzea's hope for the future (after all, the profile title granted for completing the storyline is literally 'Bearer of the Torch').

Without us, the Warrior of Light, there is no hope. Eorzea would be pretty much doomed to the Ascians' endgame and total Garlean annexation.
