Endwalker Extended/Full Trailer Predictions?

[BunniEclair]

Zenos doesn't care about the world nor does he view himself as a harbinger of the end. He just wants to have another epic fight with us, everything he is doing is merely to goad us into coming at him again.

And I have a feeling Fandaniel views Zenos more as a pawn then anything else.

Zenos may not, but Fandaniel absolutely views him as the means to that end. Hence why I said “Fandaniel says it’s fitting” not “Zenos chose this weapon because it’s fitting”. I’m well aware of Zenos’ motivations up to this point.

We will see. The straight draw angle of the way Zenos's pulled his mystery weapon out of the ground and the sound effect when he pulled seemed more like a straight bladed weapon than a scythe. A scythe would also have been embedded into the ground on a curve and the pole would have been visible. They might have just recycled some animations but the way he pulled that thing out of ground was more in line with a sword then anything else.

Maybe Zenos won’t have anything to do with the new job. This wouldn’t surprise me at all.

It is possible that the Zenos thing is a red herring, but considering the big deal they're making of him picking out a new weapon, and the general timing, I'd be surprised if it's not the weapon from the new job.

Agreed - the whole "the new weapon is going to be a scythe and Zenos is going to use it" theory doesn't add up with the animation in that scene at all.

Looking for a new weapon might mean he's taking on the new playable job, but there's an equal chance he's moving up to a unique job regardless of what the players are getting.

this picture is off of reddit but... i'm 90% sure youre right. I looked at the scene in EW where we see the supposed scythe and it literally doesn't look like a scythe at all.

Also! I just drew up what I've been thinking this entire time:






I could be wrong, entirely. But it looks like that part of the "scythe" people are seeing is actually just... part of the structure in the back of his chair.

Why'd they highlight one of the chair arms? That whole thing isn't a weapon, the majority of that is one of the arms of his chair, and duplicated on the other side.

Anyway, I think it's not propped up against the chair with the blade at the top. I bet that's the hilt/bottom of the weapon, and he'll stand up or something and pull the blade up from where his feet would be.

Considering we where teased with RDM by Alisae pulling a sword out of a book then using gladiator animations, there's always the possibility of him getting a scythe but them not having appropriate animations for it? I know it's a bit of a stretch but it has technically happened before.

I think that you and Karl are reading too much into this. They could put any weapon at all within his reach and would likely just use the same animation.
