Louisoix: The White

[Munba]

A white shrine in his honor, in the middle of the forest, with eorzean people going there to pray and bring gifts.

I feel like, if he came back, it would cheapen his sacrifice, and the moment we all felt when we realized what he had done.

If the gods truly have archons, I could see another one being born to take Louisoix's place.

Until then, let us remember his memory.

Can build a memorial from totems.

Not with totems please. With tapers, keystones, and headdresses. I hope Rowena is there so I can get a Garuda's Thought day 1 for my level 1 ACN.

I thought at the end of the trailer he was teleporting everybody to another realm along with himself....which is why the trailer fades to white instead of black.

At first, I thought that might be true...

but then, rewatching it...

That smile. It doesn't look like an, "I'm getting away" smile. It looks like an, "I'm sacrificing my life for all that I believe is right" smile...

I mean, it's all interpretation anyway. We won't know for sure until 2.0.

Good deaths are made bad by people who cling.

Just going to say, how can you be 100% sure he is dead? It does look grim for him at that moment, but I'm assuming something happened to tame Bahamut at least a little bit because not everything is completely destroyed, and I have a hard time imagining that 5 years (I think they said 5 years) in the future, everything in the Gridania area would have been rebuilt, because as far as I can tell from the Alpha footage that SE released, Gridania looks pretty much in tact. I'm not saying Louisoix is not dead by any means, but the scene fading to white does not indicate that he is Dead either.

I'm wondering about the name of 2.0 "A Realm Reborn", not "A Realm Rebuilt" or something like that, so that enigmatic smile of Louisoix can mean that he managed more than just forward us into the future.

I was totally thinking of the possibility of Louisoix, The White lol. I see where some people are going with the the wish that he remains dead in that it will make his sacrifice more honorable and I do agree. The sad endings always find a way in my heart to be my favorite. But, if you think back to when Gandalf came back in LOTR as Gandalf, The White..was he any less respected because he was...still alive? He fought an epic battle, won, and came back. He still made the sacrifice not knowing what the outcome would be.

Whether we honor him by building a statue or if we are able to honor the living Louisoix, I'm not going to have any less respect for him if he does appear in ARR. <3
