New Stormblood trailer (spoilers)

[EdwinLi]

Is our opening movie going to be the trailer we got a while ago with Samurais debut or will there be another movie that will go along with the music like the videos for Answers and Dragonsong did?

Either they skip the CGI trailer for this expansion or they plan to hold it off for pre-release trailer.

To begin speculation..

What if the blond gladiator fighting for the garlean empire is the true Yda?her sister.
Garleans could have catched and brainwashed her,and she now fight for the empire?

We see her in some different scenes in the trailer,2 of them fighting lyse,and with the emperor,so she may be "important" enough that we see her some times in the story.

The Dragonsong video was in-game like this one, the CGI trailer for Heavensward uses the song Heavensward...

Which means the trailer with the Samurai reveal is our opening movie.

Fordola

A young soldier born and raised during the imperial occupation of Ala Mhigo, Fordola was promised the world─education, training, citizenship─in exchange for service. Scorned as traitors by their people and savages by their Garlean masters, she and others like her struggle to forge their own path in an unforgiving world.

You are correct, I remember someone from SE (probably Yoshida) said that the previous Opening (Heavensward) spoiled the ending of patch 2.55. So to prevent this, they decided to make a opening that shows few things in Stormblood, without any spoilers.

Other than a lot of 4.0's plot

For some reason this entire expansion and the trailer just doesn't do anything for me T_T It's not that its bad, per say..its just, I've no hype. Heh..my boyfriend muted the song within like a minute because he disliked it so much :x It is underwhelming for an Uematsu song I got to agree! It's weird, the first FFXIV video where I did not get goosebumps or go nuts.

I did like how Lyse looked like Kid, from CT. I want that outfit XD Anyway, I'll still play Stormblood! I'm sure it'll be fun ^^

Seems like they're setting up Fordola as Lyse's rival. I wonder if Fordola will survive?

I hope we'll see the darker aspects of pre-Garlean Doman culture with Yotsuyu. Yugiri did tell Gosetsu that their lord would cut her down for now honoring her debt to Eorzea, but that might be a over exaggeration. Gosetsu also said that those who flee during a fight would be cut down ... maybe someone like Regulus who constantly retreated vs WoL would have been executed under Doman codes?
