3.56 MSQ Discussion (SPOILERS)

[Kai_Lee]

I really don't want to know the reason why the ending of 3.56 and ultimately heavensward was so short because players complain the ending of 2.55 and ARR was too long?

Alot of players complained about the long cutscenes, but overall, I think most enjoyed 2.55. I think they made it shorter, because of the whole 2.0-2.55 quests.

[Johaandr]

What frustates me the most is some of you actually think lyse joined 2.0. While the real yda is 1.0.
No. Lyse/yda has alway been around since 1.0. Still the same person but hidden identity of her real name.

Speaking of this guy, did anyone else note that he said that a SPY told him that the new primal's name was Shinryu? Could that mean we're being watched or that there's a traitor among us? :O

its been speculated for sometime now that yegiry (how ever you spell mistwalkers name) is a duble agent for the empire.

personally i think its tataru >_>

I KNOW THAT BLOOD PEARL YOU PUT ON MY NEW CLOTHES IS A LINK PEARL! IM ON TO YOU!!!

I would hope it's routine espionage and not another betrayal, unless it's Nero being Nero. However, some trusted figure turning their back on us would feel a bit repetitive. The Crystal Braves may not be a current event, but it's still recent enough that it would just feel like a lack of creativity on the part of the writers were it to happen again.

Maybe someone can clear this up for me. Which Yda do you meet in the start of the game in 1.0 if you picked Gridinia? Was it the same one all along?

Same one all along.

The 1.0 storyline that lead up to the calamity was canonically 5 years ago. The old Yda died 6 years ago.

[Eloah]

No, Lyse says the real Yda died 6 years ago, that was before the time of 1.0 players.

1.0 players probably knew the real Yda. True the WoL was transported 5 years into the future, but within the time bubble of the storyline, 1 year has passed, that adds up to 6 years. The window is slim, but any legacy players might of known her.

That being said. Lets look at it from the developers standpoint. The "real" Yda was in 1.0, and probably 2.0, but given that their was very little character development, they were able to "kill" her off in favor of Lyse. So it better to say the "original" Yda was in 1.0, but the "revised" Yda, was introduced, lets say in 3.0, not because of any perticular reason, but the SB storyline might not of been finalized yet and her role might not of been completely defined.

Also for anyone in regards to the Lady in red. Was it Yda? Well it was Yda, but Yda wasn't Yda, so it wasn't Yda, it was Lyse, but Lyse was Yda, so if the Yda we knew as Yda was actually Lyse, does that mean that the Lady in red is Lyse and not Yda, even though we only know her as Yda...?

I hope that confused everyone, XD

[Pingosteel]

Well, the StormBlood introduction in the scenario really feel like

"Hey! we're gonna distract you for 2 years about the main focus of the previous patches, like you know, ascians, ala mi, ... , so we introduce something with nearly no link with the current story. Happy are you not?"

Well, at least, we don't have the problem of "why the wol is so passive about events" since there is nearly to nothing happening...

Also, if SE could stop to let me have different option in the quest because whatever your answer is, it didn't affect scenario anyway.

NPC: Hey do you think that we must do that?
WOL: -yes
-> No
NPC: We are gonna do this anyway

I think HW was really good (exept that away it's a bloodbath) but the end is kinda flat...
Stop killing characters SE plz. Game of Thrones is not a good reference.

In a good note, there is no really Warrior of Darkness that we only enconter twice with no impact, and that are teased since the end of previous extension...

But in summary, it's just the common defaults of FF games in general so...

Looking forward to BloodStorm but no real hype now...
I enjoy the game, so no problem.

[Vexander]

Same one all along.

The 1.0 storyline that lead up to the calamity was canonically 5 years ago. The old Yda died 6 years ago.

The Calamity was 5 years ago as of the -start- of A Realm Reborn. Unless -all- of ARR and Heavensward happened in a year, something is a bit funky here...
