Dengeki: Is that so. How was the order placed for patch 5.2's artwork? Elidibus in the middle draws my attention.
Yoshida: To be honest,it's particularly hard to discuss that question right now, because we asked for this artwork with the plot of 5.3 in mind (bitter smile).
If you experience all the way up to the end of patch 5.3's story and look back at this artwork, you would probably think "Oh, i see now" and be satisfied.(edited)
If i explain what's going on right now, Elidibus calls himself the arbitrator right? If you look at the artwork, he is standing between the warrior of light and the warrior of darkness, with his Ascian emblem showing in front of his mask. Which allows you to assume he is trying, at least now, to play his role as the arbitrator. Why is it written on top of the crystal is a question that won't be truly answered until you reach patch 5.3 and i would be happy if players imagined the meaning after 5.2.
During all of what's going on in 5.2, you will be approaching Elidibus as a person and i'm presuming players will be quite shocked after finding out about what he has to say. We went into detail to connect the dots in the story, so the MSQ will be very long.
