[4.4 Discussion] "Change the Future"

[Iscah]

I also believe that the fellows who are now taking a long nap were brought to the WoD's world, in a manner very much alike the one the WoD troupe was brought here - soul only. It's quite possible that while they were in Hydaelyn, their physical bodies over at their world were in a similar comatose state.

Unfortunately, no. The grim truth is that, to quote the lorebook, "with Elidibus's guidance and knowledge, they ended their lives, and transcended the dimension to be born again as the Warriors of Darkness".

They say that in the game as well, though I can't get the transcript for that scene. But afterwards....

MSQ 3.4 "An Ending to Mark a New Beginning"

I cannot help but wonder what awaits those wayward souls. If they gave their lives in order to travel to the Source, then in returning to the First, would they not...?
...But mayhap that was their wish.

Whether it was truly the only way to move across dimensions, or just Elidibus's oh-so-helpful recommendation on how they should go about it, their situation was entirely different to what's happened to the Scions. Additionally it sounds unlikely that the Warriors still exist, unless they've somehow remained as interdimensional ghosts.



Side note: checking quest scripts on Garland Tools, I noticed that Elidibus's dialogue tag is not simply his name but "ELIDIBUSEORZEA". What could that mean for future developments...?

ELIDIBUS (SPEAKING THE EORZEAN TONGUE).

Ascian dialogue is marked not only with their name, but the language they're speaking. (EORZEA or ANCIENT)

This helps them keep straight when to use the red-on-black text.

Ohhhh~

I noticed they were speaking in red-on-black when it happened, but kind of forgot about it afterwards. (I didn’t think of it when they were back to normal text, anyway.)

I didn’t realise it was meant to be a different language, just that the Evil Shadow People get their own special evil shadow textboxes...
