Patch 3.4 - Soul Surrender

[Velhart]

So...are the Warriors of Darkness the same as people as in the trailer, or is it just a coincidence they look the same?

Because that would make the Heavensward CGI confusing when the midlander switched from WAR to DRG.

I'm gonna err ont he side of..no, (outside alternate dimensions) because its impossible to be in two places at once

Its been pointed out that a VERY short cut is show of a shadow'd character in Dragoon armor is caught be Edgelander's chains. This is all but certainly Derplander, with the briefness being so they don't have to deal with Derp and Edge being the same person...for now. Personally I'm still all on the "alternate dimension" explanation.

On PotD and Tactics Ogre in general. I haven't played the game, but there are quite a few references to it now here in this game, with atleast one back in 2.x series as well. PotD IS a dungeon in that game, and Nybeth looks very similar to the person they showed here. He apparently also turns into a Lich for the 100 floor boss fight, from what I read. As well, there are apparently 150 floors in the Ogre version...so look forward to that in the future!

Except Derplander in that cutscene will be substituted with our own WoL when we actually play, as is always the case. Derplander is just the generic story character used to represent the player.

The reason the WoDs look like Derplander and his party is because they are a dark reflection of ourselves. They couldn't have them literally be dark copies of our own characters though because that would cause all kinds of problems for voice acting and cutscenes. Instead they chose to give them a static appearance based on the characters that were already representative of us: Derplander and his party.

People really need to stop viewing Derplander as a canon character. He is us!
