Stormblood trailer

...Well I can't imagine whom else she could be, if not Yda.

She could always be a new character, heh.

She is a new character (unless Yda removes her Tattoo), Yoshida said that character will play a role in 3.5 and we will know who she is. Personaly, I think she will be the link between the WoL and Ala Mhigo, just like how Aymeric was a link to Ishigard. Its common knowledge that Ala Mhigo has been taken. I think this female Monk will come to the WoL and the GC Alliance and ask for help, will result in the player heading there.

SPOILER if you haven't beaten the story up to now.

They're setting so much up for Yda at the end of the latest story arc and we were practically confirming we'd be going to Ala Mhigo. I think that in 3.5 Yda will reveal her true identity as a higher up in Ala Mhigo, because the woman seems to share a lot of characteristics with her. Plus there's Yda's entire thing with always hiding her face which she seems pretty gungho with making sure it stays that way at the moment. Why would she need to hide her face if she was just an every day citizen that had to leave? The woman in the video looked very regal if you ask me! But your guess is as good as mine, only hole I can think of in my story is her tattoo.

So maybe Yda's evil twin Ada Wong, the b*tch in the red dress. A nice contrast to Aymeric the Blue. Between red mages and Ada Stormblood will be very very red.

At first I considered she was a new one, then something began to confuse me. From 3.4 we can see Yda and Papalymo have important roles in the story of Ala Migho, however, this story would not be ready until 4.0.
Then come the 4.0 trailer, in which a blonde, Monk-like girl plays a main role. I just can't get the purpose why they design a new character has similar features as an old one. It's quite natural to imagine in a story: if two different characters have such similar features--appearances, jobs, backgrounds--they may probably have a competitive relation with each other.
However in this trailer, the one who fights with the girl is not Yda, but (probably) the Warrior of Light. That's strange to me.
Anyhow, it''s too early to say she MUST BE Yda yet. I just can't clear that possibility out of my mind...
