Stormblood Launch Trailer

[Pence]

I like the trailer a lot. But...

C'mon, really? You will kill the iconic character of Final Fantasy XIV? She is FFXIV. Who think they got for Dissidia?Who you think is the highest rank FFXIV character in Brave Exvius? Also on Final Fantasy Theatrhythm she is the one representing FFXIV. It is the same as kill Santotto in FFXI. They are the icon of their respective games. Unless, of course, Y'shtola return as "Gandalf-like being", much more powerful than before.

I'm not sure you've ever played FFXIV. Let alone paid attention to Y'shtolas storyline.....it's bleeding obvious that she doesn't die.

I was just saying if that is Estinien then he is basically like Kain Highwind by how he is handled in the storyline but sorry for the confusion.

On topic:

However, yes this is most likely Estinien as that is his Lance from after he was corrupted by Nidhogg

The question was, did the trailer spoil the fact that he is back, (as in without a doubt, 100%, like someone played the entire storyline, and came on the forums and told us everything) or is it revealing a possible comeback for the character? Its certainly possible that is is someone completely different. But because of what we know of the game, the immediate guess is Estinien, but without certainty.

My point was that is what trailers do. They make you guess, and they lead you down thought paths to make you excited but leaves out just enough so that you will have to actually watch or play in order to definitively find out what actually happened.

That was pretty good, actually.

I'm curious about the lalafell Thaumaturges we see casting that huge spell in the first half of the video. Is it possible it's the Coco brothers? That would be so cool.

I mean, if they are, then it means we're all in this together, not just the adventurers and some members of the Grand Companies, but possibly all the major forces of all 4 city states.

Are we gonna see K'lyhia again? Will the conjurers of Stillglade Fane show up to heal the hell out of everyone? Will Mylla show up to kick some butt and help us reclaim her homeland?

I'm so excited.

If you look closely, during the LB and actions part of the trailer, it seems that Alisaie also have blood coming from her mouth (as it also happened during 3.4 against the Warriors of Darkness).
Does it means she died (of course not), or will die ? Who knows The same goes for Y'shtola.

Also, definitely can't choose who's the cutest between Sophia and Lakshmi :3

Regardless of what "the scene" actually leads to, it was a terrible move on the side of the marketing team hands down. They should know how sensitive this community is by now. That'd be like the Empire Strikes back trailer showing Luke lose a hand XD.

I'm waiting for all the dead scions to come back as either Jedi ghosts, or as villians, then the cycle of tropes will be complete.

Pretty sure that's exactly why they did it. It's going to spark a lot of excitement on both ends and get people talking and speculating. And seeing as that's what everyone is doing right now I'd say it worked and was a smart decision.

Me too. I really felt like oh crap we are really going to war and everyone is in this together.

Go read a marketing book.

I watched the video thinking it was merely a promotional trailer and got spoiled... Please SE, at least put a spoiler alert at the beginning of your trailers ....
