3.1 MSQ Reaction [SPOILERS]

[Pinkie_Pie]

People, people, you need to understand about the warriors of *darkness*

The warrior's of darkness were the people in the trailer of 1.0, and yes they were all the same people, The Miqo'te was the one wanting to get gil at any cost at the table(which became the bard), the Lala white mage was the derplander future companion seen in the echo, the Elezen was the one at the table arguing with the miqo'te that becomes the black mage, and the Roegadyn marauder that the derplander saw with the echo as a future companion as well that laters down the road becomes a paladin. Don't know what happened to the Elezen gladiator girl in the echo(may have died). AT the trailer intro of 2.0 A realm reborn, you see them all fighting in the field but remember, doing that time(of the whole 1.0) there were "MORE" then one warrior of light and only VERY few that were "champions" that get the full power of hydaelyn which was just told to us by Krile. The player didn't go the same route as the derplander went in 1.0 so its understandable that nobody knew who they were.

This shows that the "Darklander" and his crew were another band of light warriors gone dark doing the new realm reborn eorzea time, they could have been fighting them long before our time raise in power cause it was also told that the ascians were stirring trouble AFTER the calamity. Remember, in the video the 5 got ported out of the battle, not just them but many others by louisoix in the battle he could save but they all did not land at the same time frame, many of them landed years/months apart from one other. The Darklander crew just happen to land together and ride off into the sunset looking for new advanture way before us(the 1.0 players) got ported in.

You guys ready to have your mind blown?

ARE YOU READY?

IF you were a 1.0 player, you were *ALONE* and walked to your *city* you listed and were on your road to become the next "champion" of the light.

If you were a new player, aka the 2.0 player, you are not a vet from the battle, instead you are some nobody on his road to glory/fame or whatever you chosen only to later down the road to become the next champion of light and having no idea you had these powers "the echo" and so on in the story and was told this.



Everything makes sense once you start doing this.

In case someone says "Well the scions don't know who you were if you were blah blah blah after helping them in 1.0" that my friend is a plothole because something they didn't have time to add in due to time.

It was already confirmed by Ferne before 2.0 came out that the blm was the female elezen from the opening movie and not the male.

So yes, the Midlander male, Miqo’te female, Roegadyn male, Elezen female, and Lalafell female in the recent trailers are in fact the same ones that appeared in the 1.0 trailer! (Yes, the black mage is the Elezen female from the morbol party, not the snooty male from the Midlander’s party. The robe & hat conceal some of her more distinguishing features, and we all know there was no bust size adjustment feature back in 1.0).

now on to my thoughts of the msq... yes it was very short in my humble opinion... but then again with all the people complaining from 3.0's launch who never played before 3.0 came out about the main story quests... I can see why they made them shorter... now some are complaining they were too short... (poor se they're damned if they do and damned if they don't) I really liked how they made Thancred tolerable, hotter and with a better va in my opinion. Honestly I doubt minfillia is dead seeing as the Mor Dhona Kids say they were being run ragged by a woman named Ascillia unless it's them trying to throw us off her scent. I felt bad for dude when his father called Aymeric his son (i really need to remember people's names in this game.) I just can't wait for more of the story to unfold... I had a friend upset that there wasn't anymore Hildebrand quests...

That's the way the game is set up, so that both legacy and non-legacy players can understand what the heck is going on at the beginning, but lore-wise, this doesn't make much sense. What *does* make sense is that every player character is actually a forgotten warrior who has returned and, by the end of 2.0, been remembered.

In case someone says "Well the scions don't know who you were if you were blah blah blah after helping them in 1.0" that my friend is a plothole because something they didn't have time to add in due to time.

Actually, it's not a plothole. As a legacy player, you get little extra bits in most of your cutscenes with the Scions (where they mention that you seem familiar), and the one that's shown of them waiting for you to exit Praetorium has them remembering your character. The reason they don't remember you during the entirety of 2.0 up to that point is because what Louisoix did to you in porting you out of Carteneau affected every non-Echo-user's memory of not just you, but every warrior of light who was there.
