A fair point. Then again, him being a new Ysayle type character would be the least predictable move as everyone beside me seems convinced that the masked guy is Ilberd. Of course when I say "like Ysayle" I don't mean that her entire arc should be copied. As I mentioned he could be anything from a hero to a straight up villain. Hell, he could be the main villain of 3.0. We are pretty short on cool villains. An odd situation for a final fantasy game.

Fool me once, Yoshida...
That could also occur yes. But if he's the new Moenbryda, that still gives us: not-Ilberd.
