Revelations from the Announcement Showcase

It is a bit more than just a Cecil reference.

the WoL began his journey in 1.0 as a Gladiator and now he is finishing the story as a Paladin in 6.0 that he began back in 1.0. They even gone so far as to recreate the WoL original pose back in 1.0 when he was just a gladiator for Endwalker's art.

It is in a way going full circle to how WoL started his journey and ending his journey.

I don't recall WoL being a Gladiator at the start of 1.0, although that was a long time ago so correct me if I'm wrong. He was an Archer in the trailer/opening for 1.0. That's why he started as an Archer in the Shadowbringers trailer. His job changes cycled through the original, ARR and the expansions.

That's what I thought too, but maybe the gameplay for 1.0 was different?

It is the FF14 1.0 art but most noticeable the box art. While trailer had him as a Archer, the arts for 1.0 had him as a Gladiator.

Back on the topic....

Considering we are probably getting some FF2 Pandaemonium lore going for the finale of Season 1 storyline. I suspect we will also get the answer to what the Sound is.

the Place that Zeno and Fandaniel have a very Pandaemonium design to it. I won't be surprised if they reveal the source of the Sound maybe Satan/the Emperor of Hell.

The Lahabrea Raid may follow up as a post story to cover what became of Pandaemonium after 6.0 with Lahabrea becoming the Emperor of Arubboth

It was actually hard to figure out from the starter movie as the WoL was the never shown with a weapon until he had the echo vision which showed him playing as an Archer. Once the vision was over though and the elezen, miqote and he were leaving it showed him picking up his bag and the only visible weapon was a broad sword.

Otherwise, I'm actually very hyped for this new expansion and for what will be for the new storyline after. As well as my free ps5 version... i....need to buy a 4k tv now excuse me while I go look for one...
