**SPOILERS** Things we caught in the FFXIV launch trailer from E3 **SPOILERS**

I am not sure how it exactly works but I thought primals drained the land of aether. Are they doing the same? What about Hydaelyn getting weaker over the years, I thought primals either stayed the same strength once summoned, or get stronger by draining aether, is there not enough aether to sustain Hydaelyn for her to become weaker? I am so confused.

Well they seem to need to be worshiped to gain strength. Hydaelyn could be getting weaker because she isn't being worshiped by enough people. Hydaelyn is also different than the primals we've seen. She interacts with reality in different ways. Maybe on the Source she was similar to the others but the split into the different shards changed that.

That final twist at the end left me like



Man, the possibilities if it is indeed true. Ascians are also liars by default so it's truly hard to say at this point. We'll find out soon enough.

Solus might also be lying or twisting the truth.

I'm not too sure. It seems like this is one of those situations where they have nothing to gain by lying to us. And that by telling us the truth, they are gambiting us.

Everything they do is for a reason...usually to incite chaos. So they very well could be spilling the beans to do just that. Right now, making the Scions question their purpose for existing would do a significant amount of damage.

The part that struck me the most about the video was how the sineaters where once people that got over taken by the flood of light and so got turned into monsters.

I think this means that we need to find a balance between Light and Dark.
Hence why we become Warriors of Darkness right now.
Because being consumed by the Light/Dark would just end up as that.

Hmm thinking our hooded Enigmatic Man might be Innocence in disguise or something or he becomes Innocence later on (and yes I know there's stuff him maybe being G'raha Tia, but eh).

[Ban_Dearg]

Hmm thinking our hooded Enigmatic Man might be Innocence

That is G\\'raha Tia from the Crystal tower arc.

Tha fkn plottwist at the end killed me! Holy Crap!

Honestly, I'm surprised that's considered a twist. I've always assumed that was the case all along.
