Dawntrail Launch Trailer

[Carin-Eri]

We're gonna help Wuk Lamat become Hokage

I'll be surprised if they actually take that route with her story/development. Thus far, nothing about her has given off 'strong and capable leader' vibes.

Yeah neither did Naruto.

I suspect she'll end up as 'a' leader but not 'the' leader.

FIrst, she may not seem super capable now, but they're setting the seeds for a character arc. How well that arc plays out is yet to be seen. But we've only seen her at the start of this journey. And they've set up a flaw (her being scared during the solo instance boss and hand shaking) to overcome etc. Her not immediately being the obvious choice also adds tension to the competition, especially if Thancred/Urianger end up backing someone else etc.

I suspect what will happen is that she'll end up a co ruler with her her Miqo'te brother. Mirroring the two personalities of the current leader's heads. Or maybe even all three of the non evil candidates we saw in the live letter. (Heck even the racist one may get talk no jutsu'd into chilling out and becoming a more level headed member of a council.)

Anyone multilingual watch the other trailers?

In English the Enigmatic Maiden says "With your strength, could you have held fast to that which is dear without sacrifice", but in every other language, it sounds like something different. According to my pitiful phone translate app, it's something along the lines of "I have the key, I can finally enact my plan" in the three other languages, in a different tone of voice from that in English, maybe even slightly sinister.

[SannaR]

The launch trailer is always quite spoilery. The Shadowbringers one had the biggest one ever.

Endwalker even showcased part of the 1st part of the final dungeon and I doubt many went oh that has to be the lv90 dungeon.

[Ryaze]

Cat Lyse Edition

Obnoxiously grating naive voice and all.

[ReynTime]

Yeah neither did Naruto.

Naruto isn't a good standard for strong narrative.
I hope they wrote Dawntrail assuming there are adults playing the game and don't make the obvious "new character who becomes nation leader" stunt again.
