[spoilers]3.2 MSQ Discussion/Reaction thread

[Theodric]

[spoiler]Minfilia:

The theories that involved her being taken over by Hydaelyn proved to be correct. She did not sound entirely pleased by her fate and I can't help but feel as though Hydaelyn coerced her and did not tell her - or us - everything. It's easy for Hydaelyn to blame Zodiark but I suspect that there is much more to the conflict between Light and Darkness than 'Good' and 'Evil'.

Triad:

Garlean involvement isn't all that surprising. If they plan to go down the FF6 route, though, one has to wonder why they introduced a completely new Emperor...especially if he's just going to be betrayed and killed off. I suspect that there may be a twist. Regula could very well be Tempered by the Triad...or driven insane by Allagan technology. Perhaps it's just me but he seemed slightly rougher around the edges than before.

Krile:

Interesting that she mentioned being the sole survivor of the destruction of the Isle of Val. Hydaelyn saved her but left others to perish - so she definitely plays favourites despite claiming to love 'all of her children'.

Estinien:

I sort of expected him to show up. It seems like we'll be dealing with him as the main antagonist of 3.3. I like that Alphinaud is trying to save him. I hope he breaks away from the rest of the Scions as they ultimately become more cynical and jaded. If we can't save Estinien, though, I imagine that'll send Alphinaud over the edge.

Side notes:

- Aymeric's wound being problematic was a neat touch.
- I liked the motives and passionate speech of the maid during the chaos in Falcon's Nest. Her position was easy to sympathise with and it made sense - and I'd love to see more of that sort of thing in the future to make conflicts even more morally dubious.[/spoiler]
