6.0 Story Speculations

[GoldStarz]

I just realized, we may be getting the offices of the rest of the Convocation of Fourteen named. I wonder what Ultima's will be, perhaps they made the laws the citizens followed? Ultima IS the High Seraph after all.

We already know from ARR that it's Altima.

So I'm playing through the MSQ again on an alt, and... Hydaelyn's been dead (or close enough) since our fight against the Ultima Weapon, right..?

She's alive just REALLY weakened, if she were dead then she wouldn't have been able to call Minfilia to be her speaker at the end of ARR patches.

We already know from ARR that it's Altima.

But what is Altima's extended title/role? Emet-Selch is the Architect, Azem is the Traveler, Elidibus is the Emissary, Lahabrea is the Speaker. So what is Altima?

I was goofing around on Twitter, and somebody translated a comment Thancred’s VA made

What do y’all think of this? We know that H vs. Z is going to end in EW, and I admit I’m bad about freaking out over a possible wipe... Are we going to say goodbye to the squad permanently because the world turns to rubble and they die, or just because they go somewhere else?

The expansion name in Japanese is End of Akatsuki, which refers to the scions doesn't it? I doubt they'll all die some might none might but we will likely see the breakup of the scions as they have almost achieved all their original goals and you don't need to be a scion to do good in the world so it being discontinued doesn't mean everyone in it is gone forever anyways

End of Dawn? Daaaaaaaamn. That's a recontextualization if I ever heard one.

Swing and a miss. The Japanese title is "Gyougetsu no Finale" (暁月のフィナーレ), Yoshida said so himself at the announcement showcase (around the 27:20 mark). 暁月 can also be read "akatsuki", but the kanji used in 暁の血盟 "akatsuki no ketsumei" (localized as "Scions of the Seventh Dawn") is simply 暁 (also read "akatsuki"), which by itself means dawn. I'd translate it more as "finale for the moon at dawn", not the finale for the dawn itself.

Ah I see, thank you for correction!

This is what I want it to mean. This is what I want to believe. I cannot handle another 2.55 (I couldn’t handle the first one, but I’d already paid, so...)

With the organization dissolving, who is going to be signing WoL’s paychecks going forward? Are we going to be working for Aymeric or Raubahn or Hien full-time?

Last time a patch or expansion had “moon“ somewhere in the title, there was chaos with my second favorite war criminal. I know we’re supposed to go to the moon, and have at least one big fight because of who/what is there... this title sounds just plain ominous. Now I’m thinking of what Dr. Eggman does in Sonic Adventure 2, although it probably won’t be that bad, we’ll probably just partially destroy it like at the end of Kirby’s Adventure.

Perhaps they'll be bringing back our Sky Pirate friends from Void Ark and we'll be going on a journey across the world for adventure and treasure with them?
