Patch 3.4 - Soul Surrender

[ToppeHatte]

While everyone is curious as to the MSQ's significance, has it been brought up at all that Alexander looks totally different when he's first encountered in A12 (assuming that's Alexander at all, of course)?



I'm not entirely sure what this would imply (again, assuming that this indeed Alex in some degree) but I thought it was an interesting observation at least.

The trailer shows him later transitioning into his full-sized form.

So one can assume that what you fight initially is something of an egi...

Huh. My first thought after listening to the Masked Man's words (and then going back and listening again) was, "And this is what a Paragon is like."

Just screamed to me of Ascian manipulations. Which makes sense from a strategic standpoint. If the Ascians want to back off, lick their wounds, and prep for the Warrior of Light fighting back, then keeping him/her busy in the meantime would be good.

So have the Ala Mhigans do a primal summoning. Have them do it out in the open, in full view of the Garlean forces. Emperor Varis might consider Thordan to be a one-off only-once-in-a-blue-moon thing, but a second go exposes the fact that the humes of Eorzea can summon primals, and that is one thing that the Empire has a firm stance about. Kill everyone who can.

I have suspicions that discoveries from the Warring Triad will also help fuel Garlean aggression, but I think I need to play Sophia's storyline to be certain.

Maybe he just transforms during the fight and it is two different phases.

Maybe this is an older Alexander, maybe we will go trough different ages fighting various version of Alexander...

The first time I saw his first form I immediately thought of FF6's Alexander. That could be a pun to merge all past Alexanders for his ability to manipulate time.
Shame though he lost his holy attribute - that's what defined the summon for me

Not just different; human! If you pay attention you see he has fingers and looks more like a person wearing armor than a mechanical construct. If I were to guess either Mide's lover or our most hated goblin leader will merge with the primal somehow and we'll start the fight by facing a hybrid of some kind.

That form makes it look like it's based on his original Final Fantasy VI sprite the game he first appeared in.
