Endwalker Extended/Full Trailer Predictions?

[Bright-Flower]

Alphinaud did say in 5.3 that he and Alisaie's turns will come, which most ppl took as a strong indicator that they would represent the 2 new upcoming Jobs.

I wouldn't say 'most' people. Some people maybe, but IMO that's a big leap for people to take that line and assume it means they're getting new jobs. Especially since she already GOT her big job change going to red mage in the first place.

I know a lot of people have already predicted it but i think Sharlayan will almost assuredly be the big city and in the trailer. This is the end of the Hydalyn/Zodiark storyline and it would not feel the conclusion without going there. I also think we will get the final job reveal. I am also hoping that the rest of the clouds over Islabard are removed showing a complete map of the 3 continents, and that we at least get 2 more zones there. Also i really want them to show off more hairstyles for Viera. I heard some people suggest Nerva might be in it and going back and looking at the first trailer, it showed an airship in the capitol going down in flames as if there was a big conflict there, perhaps it was an effort by him and his forces to take down the big tower enslaving the citizens and it was shot down by a defense mechanisms. also maybe we actually see Hydalyn or Zodairk.

If we do get Sharlayan(which does feel most likely) I imagine that will be the bulk of the remaining zones. The motherland was originally made of three main islands before the Isle of Val did it's vanishing act. Given how big Val turned out to be, I won't be surprised if they can fit three zones and a city on the remaining one.

As for Ilsabard proper, the reason I don't think we'll get many zones there is that the way they've used Terncliff, Werlyt and Bozja in post ShB makes me think that for the time being they'll want to leave Ilsabard and southern Othard for that purpose. Having that massive landmass that we'll gave access to from all four sides post EW gives them a lot of freedom to dip into for areas to feature as they did in Sorrow of Werlyt and save the queen. And it still doesn't stop them from picking out a chunk of it to feature in future expansions is they don't have workable ideas for the New World or Meracydia ready to go.

That said I do hope they still remove the clouds if only to tease potential future ideas.

I will admit a huge bias in that I want lots of Sharlayan content and certainly won't be upset if we get more Ilsabard than Sharlayan but the above rambling just feels like the direction the wind is blowing to me.

Sharlayan will likely include the city itself and the island region zone, Same with Raz-a-Han and its region and Mephina being the moon zone, and of course Garlemald and its surrounding mountainous region. That leaves 2 other regions, considering the moon has already been announced I dont think thats the final zone and likely there will be another region at least in Islabard. The moon could be the final zone but twice the last zone has been a hidden reveal like Azys Lla and the Tempest. If theres not another ??? zone then likely theres going to be 2 other regions in Islabard outside Garlemald itself.

I just want a release date so I can plan my PTO from work.

The release date usually gets announced for the final fanfest so more likely than not they'll announce it on Saturday.

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.
