Patch 6.1 trailer speculations

[KageTokage]

Considering the fact that they latter showed off the entrance of the revamped To-To-Rak I'm of the same opinion that it has to do with the cult, but in so far as teasing the ARR dungeon changes.

The Lambs of Dalamud typically wear crimson robes, so I'm not sure it's them.

There's also a pair of very ominous voices in the trailer that sound like they probably belong to voidsent, so it seems likely they're going to have a presence in the MSQ for reasons I'm assuming are related to the true nature of Zenos' avatar.

[SannaR]

What part of the story do we think those in the black robes are apart of? Did we get told what was to be the start of our "primals" trial story will be? And I'm talking about stuff like the Warring Triad, Four Lords and Wrylet story line that we normally get started. Or is that somehow going to be the Tataru thingy and we just don't know it?

[KageTokage]

We're not getting the trial series until 6.2 so it can't be that, and I seriously doubt Tataru has anything to do with it when they suggested it's going to be like the postmoogle quests from ARR and just having us revisiting familiar faces from throughout the whole of our journey.

That makes me feel like it being something MSQ-related is most probable; perhaps as part of the usual cliffhanger they mentioned we'd be getting. I could see it being from the perspective of the voidsent that became Zenos' avatar, recalling the first time it was summoned to the Source with the mention of being "returned at long last". The Allagans and the Mhachi were two known civilizations who willfully used voidsent to achieve their ends, so I'm curious what era it may have first surfaced in.

[JeanneOrnitier]

I don't think they're the Lambs of Dalamud because the robes are the wrong color, nor Ascians because the robes aren't extravagant enough.

I agree it'll probably be related to Zenos's avatar, but I honestly think it will be in the role quest, not the MSQ. In this shot with the nation leaders (who we know are the focus of the role quest) the enemies spawn in using purple Void visual effects, not the grey blasphemy effects.



The shot of the robed guys is also sandwiched between Fourchenault looking at the Tower of Babil and this image.

[KageTokage]

The trailers are known to intentionally mislead by mashing together unrelated scenes and/or voice clips at times, and unless those creepy voices are sampled from the alliance raid, I'm inclined to think they're from the MSQ as side content is historically never voiced outside of the associated instances (With Coils being the sole exception), plus I don't think they'd record a few lines specifically for the role quests.

The blasphemies in Amaurot teleport in the same manner as the ones in the Tower of Babil are shown doing, so I don't really consider that conclusive evidence either.

Regardless, I could still see the role quests as being related to the future MSQ and possibly providing a clearer picture of what's coming next.

I can't make sense of it either, but it can't be the dungeon revamp, because nothing like that scene happens in either form of Tam-Tara. That platform's actually been reused a few times for 'we need to do something in Gelmorran ruins' (most recently the latest All Saints' Wake event), so it isn't necessarily Tam-Tara specifically, but likely is definitely Gelmorra.

Granted, that doesn't necessarily mean a Gelmorran story; I'm pretty sure no content based around Gelmorran buildings have ever actually been about Gelmorra, and are more about whoever happens to be squatting there that day.

im hoping myths is either a farewell to those lost or a trial handed down by the gods. or both. (secretly im hoping it expands on dynamis and connects to what alphinaud suggested.)

besides that im guessing vrtra gave estinien that map or he bought a supposedly fake one that turned out to be real (at an insane price of course) and the journey starts out normal and devolves into something mind bending.

as for hildibrand im guessing itll explore how he got to the first and how thatll help yshtola. may the twelve help her and the first cause theyre not ready lol.

He got to the First at the end of his previous adventure in SB when Gilgamesh got mind-controlled to "go far, far away" and opened up a portal across the Rift. I don't think Y'shtola will be able to follow the same way lol.

I'm probably going to need a refresher before I start that since there's a lot I barely remember though. Other than the end of that storyline I just remember something about a bald samurai, cross-dressing shenanigans, and Yojimbo is actually a starving Gilgamesh.


As for the MSQ, X.1 patch stories are usually meh, but I'm at least looking forward to something new that hopefully has nothing to do with Ascians, Allagans, and Garleans
