Endwalker Extended/Full Trailer Predictions?

[Karl0217]

What weapon is the question- I’d personally be pretty disappointed if he just picks up a gunblade again, after making such a show out of him picking out a new weapon. It doesn’t have to be the new melee class (I’m not crazy about scythes, it just feels the most fitting imo) but if they’re going to bother making it some big reveal, at least make it interesting. He has no love for Garlemand or garlean arts- him using a garlean weapon to try to fell the WoL wouldn’t really have significance to him personally. Sure he’s the ruler, technically. But in the trailer and the art kinda looks like he’s the ruler of nothing.

Garlemald is in the same position Doma and Ala Migho were in Stormblood. War-torn, devastated land occupied by Zenos's army with Zenos camped out in the royal palace with a primal he intends to merge with. We got one class based out of Doma, Samurai, and one based out Ala Migho, Red Mage. And since we want to talk about color schemes let me point out that Yoshida's shirt he wore on the stage has a very interesting color scheme of red, black, white, gold and orange:

You know where we have seen that color scheme before?

Considering he went from a gunblade to katana i doubt he'd be going back to gunblade especially since he said he hasn't tested the weapon yet

It depends. For example, if he picked up his father's gunblade:

he wouldn't have had time to test it since the incident in the throne room and it is different from the one Zenos used previously. And then there is Fandaniel's dialog which indicates it is a weapon he doubted Zenos would have selected and he knows Zenos dumped the gunblade in favor of a katana.

And the Final Fantasy series does like giving it's main villains longswords with red blades; Ardyn Izunia being the most recent example.

I doubt its varis's gunblade since we know what one end of the new weapon looks like and it does not look like either side of varis's gunblade (not to mention that he would have most likely already used that type of gunblade before meaning he would have tested it before)

We'll see. Either way, it doesn't change the fact what we see of the weapon on the chair and the animation of that scene at the end of 5.5 don't line up with a scythe. Nor does the scythe theory easily square up with Yoshida's other recent shirt hints:

By the way, don't we a character in the game that gave us a big speech about lies, deceit, deception, creeping mendacity, etc...?

But we already have gunblade, so the RDM and SAM stuff doesn’t really correlate here.

Classes that use swords: Paladin, Dark Knight, Samurai, Red Mage
Classes that use staffs: White Mage, Black Mage
Classes that use books: Scholar, Summoner
Classes that use scythes: Botanist

And the point is we got 2 martial classes out of 3 lands Zenos has ruled so far; I wouldn't bet against them from going 3 for 3.

I’ll give you (I think you’re the one that mentioned it) that the height and sound are not really in line with a big scythe. Makes me wonder if they just used a generic blade against concrete sound or if it really will be a sword of some sort. I still have my money on scythe but it’s possible he picked up a claymore or something.
