Heavensward Launch Trailer! [Heavensward Spoilers]

[Ooshima]

ohh yeah new demon wall

[Viridiana]

o.o Didn't look like Derpy though I've not seen his non CGI rep....wait Derpy doesnt have facial hair and that guy does >.>

He's started growing facial hair since the end of 2.55/beginning of 3.0. That's why it still looks like a dirty porn stache.

JP cast is unchanged. Varis mentions Primals directly (to clear up that speculation). Also not Alphinaud in the "Spare us the hyperbole" line. Line before sounds like either Y'shtola or Yugiri, but is definitely not Ysayle's speech patterns, so I'm guessing it's a new character. "The coming battle" line is also an unpictured new male character, and definitely not Lahabrea.

Yugiri! Yes, thanks the Twelve that you remind me of her, Yugiri!

That line sounds right like Rina Satoh to me, a bit like how she sounds as Sailor Mars in the new Sailor Moon series. However, it was me who mis-remembered Rina Satoh as Ysayle's VA, so when I looked back into 2.4 trailers and found that Ysayle sounds not quite alike there, I have been really confused for about a whole hour, until you remind me of Yugiri... This now definitely works!

Btw that line does sound kinda like Y'shtola, but it should be a bit strange if she appears here (I mean, as the only Scion besides Alphi).

Also, I've heard that some ppl think the female voice together with Lahabrea at the end might be Minfilia, but I'm quite sure that voice has nothing to do with Miyuki Sawashiro.

The 'drifting soul' could simply refer to someone that is lost though, not necessarily dead. They could use the lifestream to search the planet.

Well, to me it basically translated as "Go into the Lifestream and find a lost soul", since the Lifestream is where all new souls come from, and where all dead ones return, I think it's safe to assume they're looking for a departed spirit. I don't think they'd need to use the Lifestream to find a living one. Question is, which? I can't really believe I'm saying this, but I hope it's Moenbryda. Having Nanamo return would just rob that moment of its significance, but given the Grand Companies are involved (it sounded as though Merlwyb was commenting on the fact that Nanamos death hasn't been announced), I'm almost certain we'll be bringing back Nanamo... My guess? Lolorito isn't a bad guy and he wasn't pulling the strings, there would be some poetic irony in Teledji Adeledji "cutting her strings", when he himself was in fact just a puppet blinded by his wealth. Lolorito knows the situation he is now in, he has a certain relic that could bring Nanamo back, but needs help (hence Raubahn going "Lolorito!", Raubahn seemed to be turning around, so it seems like Lolorito tracked him down?). Keep Nanamos body safe, get your handy necromancer dagger ready, have the Elementals search the Lifestream for Nanamos soul and hope it all works out. Then Ul'dah can return to normal, though Nanamo will be sans an armchair (ba-dum-tish), the real villains fall back (why is it only now just occurring to me that Ilberd could be one of the Warriors of Darkness?) and the Cullinarian quest works again. Honestly Lolorito never really struck me as evil, a douche for sure, but not "Hahaha! I'll kill the princess and destroy the world!".

It could equally be Moen though, after than post credits scene with Urianger. If we have a situation where the missing Scions "learn the truth" and change side, who better to slap some sense into them, Urianger especially.

I"m going throw my two cents in and say something that may come to fruition... Maybe. I said a few months ago that I honestly doubt we'd seen the last of a certain scion. That scion I was reffering to was Meonbryda... I just have this really odd feeling about her and her death with Nabriales, it's like, why'd SE make this new scion only to have her die? I then thought about how she died with Nabriales and thought "Maybe there's a bigger picture here?" And at the time I was wondering about how ascians were born... Then it hit me, that whole scene showed us an ascian being born, Moenbryda becomes an ascian and with the latest trailor I'm guessing that it's showing us a fusion of her and Lahabrea or something... I was just wondering about the voice who spoke the line "I am become you." and to me it sounds very similar to Moenbryda's voice...

[Mwynn]

Moenbryda's German Voice doesn't fit with the "I am become you" or in German "Ich werde zu dir" Phrase. She has a much more "Harder" Voice.
It does sound like Minfillia, the German Voice of her is almost the same as that Female Voice in the end, of course it could also be Igeyorhm which I would think of, because in the Dungeon Crawl Trailer ... you see two "Overlord Ascians".
These two might be Lahabrea and Igeyorhm at all, trying to hinder you at any costs.

The Voice also reminds me of the Blonde Ishgard Women (Teledji moment where he says Ishgard is having another Attack). The Voice seems to be familiar aswell.

[PArcher]

I wonder if the soul the elementals are searching for is our own.

[guardin]

Looks like we're getting the original Ascians back, or at least some mixture of the old and new?



That new hood forming looks very similar to me. Those look like the same bone wings coming out his back, too.

The "true" power of the Echo? Why am I now expecting there to be a point where Minfilia does something similar, but instead of having a reaper like appearance, she gets an angelic one...

Also, Kan-E-Sanna asking the "great ones" to "give themselves" to the lifestream to find a drifting soul? Oh god, please don't revive a certain someone... Let it be the soul of Raubahns arm or something...

lmao xD "Raubahn's arm

[lololink]

So Lahabrea would be fusing with a woman... reminds me of something :

Scion of darkness ruling and protecting those who live in the underworld, in opposition to Lahabrea the Abyssal Celebrant and scion of light. In the course of his rule, he submitted to avarice, and the darkness took his heart, transforming him until he was both evil and corrupt. Then in his cowardice did he bind a Goddess of the Demesne of Ice, and using her as a living shield, he challenged the gods. Defeated before their might, he fell screaming into the depths of hell, there to be imprisoned for eternity

My bets go closer to Shiva, Ysayle or Halone with this.

[Ibi]

???: In the distant past, King Thordan and his Knights Twelve fought and defeated Nidhogg.

Thordan VII. Toggle between ~0:10 to ~0:40.

Estinien: So... the dragons are coming.

I don't think this one is Estinien. Too much resonance, and is a little too deep. Toggling between ~1:27 and ~1:41 seems like different voices.

???: You are the beacon of hope towards which all men are drawn.

Could be Yugiri, could be Lucia (the accent seems similar to speaker #2, who I agree sounds like Aymeric).

???: Spare us the hyperbole. 'tis not for praise that we fight.

Estinien. Compare ~1:37 to ~3:52.

Unnamed Ascian(?): The coming battle is a chance to excise the root of this conflict, and by my hand it shall be done.

Estinien again, I think. Compare ~1:37 or ~3:52 to ~4:37.

Female Voice: I am become you!

This doesn't sound like a normal mortal voice, because of the resonance. It sounds more like Hydaelyn to me than anyone else, though it could be Shiva.
