Final Predictions: Who shall die in 4.0

Haha loved that movie xD

Alisae didn't get poisoned by that arrow for no reason, I think it was a forshadowing of her real death.

Let's betray the Scions for loot

Until we enter a cutscene and suddenly can't do anything anymore except stretching our hand out and silently opening the mouth. In those moments, we watch a supposed "good friend" struggle against a lazorbolt for a good 30 seconds doing absolutely nothing, so we can then look all sad when they die.

Is especially bad if you're a healer.

You have to understand that this is an MMO. The genre has its limitations.

This reminds me of Chinese no effort at story cash grab mmos in which you're a filthy peasant until lv 10-15 and suddenly you hit immortal god errand extraordinaire. See that group of wandering immortal daemons? Kill em. I like the way favor shining on you is an actual plot point.

I am talking about story persepective not gameplay perspective.

Story wise the WoL is basically more powerful than a God in Eorzea. None can be his or her equal and none would dare antagonise the WoL because he or she is Eorzea's Nuclear deterrent to any threat to Eorzea.

Heck in Gaius's final moments he even said if the WoL wanted to he or she can basically take over all of Eorzea with his or her powers alone and no one will be able to stop the WoL from taking over Eorzea and become its ruler.

The WoL can die at anytime like any other NPC and we have a lore "thing" called the Echo that can always bring the WoL back after death or reveal everything that the Player character experience was just a Echo of the WoL life that our character was experience in the WoL place similar to how 1.0 Echo acted to 1.0 player characters.

That mostly the issue I see with how the WoL is handled. The characters in the story have forgotten the WoL is just like everyone else inside but just brush it off and treat him or her as a the solution to everything becuase the WoL is forever the only solution to everything.

Well here we will have a grim reminder that we are not in fact gods.

It is what 4.0 appears to be going for as 3.55 hinted.

From here 4.0 may focus a lot on reminding the world that the WoL, while being strong, can not be the solution to everything as he or she is also bound to limits as well and they themselves must also take up their own abilities to deal with situations or else one day the WoL may face something he or she cannot defeat and thus since everyone put everything on the WoL winning the world burns because of one person not being able to defeat this "Threat" alone, or with small group of other Echo users (whatever you believe is canon to how WoL defeats Bosses and trials).

Yeah pretty much. Question is, when it will become apparent that we cannot defeat the "Threat" AKA FFXIV Sephiroth clone Nr 2 AAKA Zenos yae Galvus, who will die on our side?

Most likely quite early in the storyline since the first set part of the game is the first Battle for Ala Mhigo. After that the story may go into Othard after the loss for the a good amount of level 60 to 70 content as we gain new allies and successfully liberate a part of Othard from garlean control judging from the Trailers have shown so far.

We are after all just continuing where 3.55 Main Scenario left off as the WoL and Scions head out to the join the Battle for Ala Mhigo.

I just hope a certain Monk job character take part in 4.0's Ala Mhigo side of the storyline since the WoL did promise to fight by his side when the day comes that the Battle for Ala Mhigo begins.
