Patch 4.1 Trailer Discussion

[PArcher]

I feel like Nanamo comes to the Scions about Raubahn; is she worried that he may leave Ul'dah, or upset about it? Lolorito always makes me wary when he comes back to the MSQ, even moreso since the Scions invite him around...

Arvenald gets a lot of screentime in the trailer. Good to see he's becoming more important to the story. I've always liked him

I noticed the scene between Lyse and Fordola has the Echo filter on it...seems like an odd thing to have an Echo about. Guessing it means something between them doesn't go in a way one (or both) of them want us to know.

And yeah, don't want to see Lakshmi again, hopefully its something else...

Also, (completely unrelated to the lore, but whatever)

(insert DRG joke here)

While I'd never trust Lolorito, I at least like where (I think) his character development has settled for the time being. For how much power, wealth, and influence he wants, he seems to know that actually governing is a massive pain in the ass. Weakening the Sultana was all well and fine in times of peace, but Ul'dah without a strong central government in a time of war would devastate his net profit. So long as Nanamo grows up and rules well, I think he's content to have her carry the burdens of rule (at least for "this year") and invest whatever is needed to keep the spice flowing.

Though I do wonder why we're coming to him. Security forces as Ala Mhigo goes to hell? Construction resources to see the city refortified? General monetary investments in exchange for rights to real estate and trade? ... Someone good at outwitting dissent?

(Also, yes, the throwback to There Might Be Blood was excellent.)
