The Patch 5.2 Discussion Thread! (Spoilers)

Ramuh does charm and seduce players during their fight only for them to end up dead if they're not electrocuted. So maybe we saw him in another way while we were frozen in place.

[Apoptomon]

Rhalgr, too! His head/face looks almost exactly like the statue's at Rhalgr's Reach. It's pretty natural that the WoL might combine Rhalgr and Ramuh, given they are both thunder gods. There's also an ongoing theory that the Sylph's Primal is based on a distorted memory of Rhalgr.

It also explains how the WoL could have possibly neglected Ramuh's magnificent beard. Honestly, the new Primal could have been ALL beard, and no one would have faulted the WoL for it!

Honestly I thought of Rhalgr too when I saw it: neat beard man + lightning + buff (monks lol) + Ixion is Rhalgr's legendary steed

The star shower from the clouds above crystarium in the trailer is the same one as in that cutscene early game with hydaelyn and that echo vision from 1.0. ( did some research).

I wouldnt be surprised if that is a part of the original calamity, not to mention it appears to happen in crystarium too and we see zenos in the fake amaurot
during its destruction.

This makes me so curious.

[KageTokage]

I remember how a long while back Elidibus told us that if we knew the truth, we wouldn't oppose the Ascians.

I can't help but wonder if he's decided to go back to that matter now that things have started to spiral out of his control and Emet Selch has already told us some of the story behind the Ancients. It would certainly help explain the weirdness that seems to be occurring at the Crystarium, moreso if he's the one controlling Ardbert's body like some suspect.

I'm expecting him to put on a big show to get our attention then goad us into going to Akademia Aynder to see his "truth" for ourselves.

Don't know if anyone else has brought this up, but one of the preview pics for Cinder Drift shows off the Weapons and what I assume is the new Tome Gear


The checkered part of the tank coat reminds me of the Swallowskin Coat and how badly I wish we had a version that I can use as a glamour for DoW/M

I want to play dress up now with my great serpent of Ronka!!!!

[KageTokage]

I wonder if the dragons are going to help with the Ishgard Restoration, considering that one of the pictures shows the gang meeting with a syricta in the Firmament.

Their humanoid bodies would certainly be better suited for manual labor then those of the more conventional dragons.

[ObsidianFire]

Syricta are also special in that they are one of the forms Ishgardian Elezen take when they drink dragon's blood. So it's not just the dragons in general wanting to help rebuild the Firmament, it's the heretics who were so fanatical they drank dragon's blood who are getting involved.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

Well, dragons and humans were already building and bounding together in the moogle-tribe-questline. So why not.
