New Stormblood trailer (spoilers)

[Tharne]

Other than a lot of 4.0's plot

Talking about the CG Opening, the one you get in the game. Not Revolutions.

Sorry my bad

So the song was nice. But not as good as the rest of the music we have already.

The visuals were kinda cool, I'm glad we'l get to see tons more of Yugiri. She is literally I reason I switched to Au Ra from Miqo'te in HW. The only thing I'm really wishing for is our hero doing more in cutscenes. Kinda sick of being the warrior of light and needing our other scions or random people doing stuff while we watch.

I think the problem with that is that they have to account for the player's class so action scenes involving the Warrior of Light are pretty hard.
I remember being super disappointed in the 3.1 MSQ when we didn't get to clash with the Warrior of Darkness and instead it was Thancred, but after thinking about it, what would they do for people who play WHM or SMN? It's not like they can make a different version of the cutscene for every class, so it's easier to just have all the fights the WoL is involved in be actual gameplay.

Do we REALLY need to defeat her? Must we really kill all Viceroys on sight?
Can´t we, like, listen to what she has to say? *cough*

Right!? I love this lady already. Though we'll prolly get in game and find out she's basically hitler lol ;P

Just need to read the little preview of her character on the Stormblood website to know about her views.

They can make one scene where we use some special WOL only skill i.e. a sword of light or blast of power. It would just need to be a generic skill or action. Nothing pertaining to a certain job.

As cool as this trailer is, it's a bit weird to me that the main musical theme to an Asian themed expansion doesn't really sound like it draws any influence from traditional Asian music.

Well we already have some scenes just like that, but the thing is that even then they can't be too complex and only use some really generic attack animation. A full-blown action would not only need to take into account our class but our race as well.
A fight scene involving a Roegadyn would have to look very different from one with a Lalafell.

About the new song, Revolutions, I do enjoy it and think it's quite lovely, but I do see why some would feel a little underwhelmed. Previously I had gone under the assumption that the full song would incorporate part of the music we heard during the Stormblood trailer with added vocals. Had that been the case I think the result would have been a bit more powerful since a full piece based around that tone would have set a different mood.
