Revelations from the Shadowbringers E3 Trailer

[ObsidianFire]

Youshida let it slip at the Tokyo Fan-Fest that we will be returning night to the zones as we go through them. So I fully expect the 1st Shard to have regular day/night cycles by the time we finish the MSQ.

I mean, we see the WoD breaking apart the light clouds near the end of the trailer, so that was never in doubt, no?

Another topic:

It seems the 5.0 Storyline may have major dialogue changes based on if the player has unlocked their Dark Knight Job or not similar to 3.0 with the Dragoon Job unlock or not.

We see a Dark knight Job exclusive dialogue in the trailer with the First version of our Starting Merchant commenting about not seen a Dark Knight Job user for over 100 years.

And here we have another subtlety in translation. In the french tralier the Merchant merely ask the WOL what he is doing here in the middle of the night before laughing asking why he is surprised since it had been a century since there was darkness in this world.

Makes me wonder what other suble difference in dialogue there may be.

While the English version is for sure tripping people up its also a fun little piece of dialogue since the First certainly hasn't had a Dark Knight in the same amount of time they haven't had a dark night. Atleast up to that scene if you are, in fact, a Dark Knight.

He is saying "Dark Night" and not "Dark Knight". The french and german version, in which these two words don't sound similar, makes that clear.

That's what I was thinking. How would he know we are a Dark Knight anyway. We could say our weapon, but look at Pipin, he's not a Dark Knight. Our outfit can't give it away because it would be glamoured. And he doesn't know us very well. Krile referencing us as a healer in SB made sense since she knows us.

Let me quote the merchant from the German trailer for you:
"Was machst du hier mitten in der Nacht? Hehehehehehe... Hundert Jahre ist das jetzt her... Hundert Jahre ohne eine einzige dunkle Nacht."

For those who don't speak my native language: The merchant asks, what the player is doing here in the middle of the night, starts chuckling and THEN states, that the last dark night was (one-)hundred years ago. ("Hundred years without a single dark night.")

Night = Nacht
(Dark-)Knight = (Dunkel-)Ritter

Gotta love the English language having multiple words sound exactly the same but with vastly different meanings XD

That is 100% my problem with him: "Hey I know it better and you would believe me if I told you but I dont..."

I mean why not tell us? Why does it seem like he and the other Ascians dont have 100% the same goal?

It could be that it's something that you can't be "told". Any explanation he could give with words would lack the proper frame of reference. To truly see what a bad place the universe is in, you would need to have the perspective of an Ascian, to be able to see and experience what they do. Because the WoL is not an Ascian or an Ascian-like being, the danger is too high that they would remain unconvinced - and believing they then have the full picture, would fight all the more adamantly.

By staying silent on the matter, the seed of doubt remains. IS there some truth to the necessity of the Ascians' goals? Might it be that opposing them really is the wrong thing to do? There's a lot we don't know about the universe - can it be that something WORSE than the eradication of life on all worlds is on the horizon? That is Elidibus's hope, I think, to keep the WoL wondering, and to place cracks in their resolve.

Of course, even if Elidibus is totally full of crap, he can benefit from these seeds of doubt, so staying silent is to his benefit either way!

I'm pretty sure it's deliberate, because Koji loves his puns.
