Oh well, now to watch Cutscenes and look for shadowless people.

Travanchet is a given... At first he appears to be nothing more than a regular serpent reaver (a member of the woken races who is truly allied with the sahagin), but it becomes clear pretty quick that this guy's got far darker allegiances. The thing is... he's clearly shadowless, travels via the starshower, and absorbed The Key into his chest using the Final Fantasy signature black and purple "dark magic." He's already been outed... but could there be others? O.O

Ohhh, I love any mystery where the baddies blend in; it always leads to scenarios that make you question whether it's really the outsiders you have to worry about in the first place, or if the people on your own side are just as bad...

Travanchet is a given...

Pulled this out of my Limsa character's screenshots. The rest of the cutscene absolutely has shadows running.



I trawled through all my Ul'dah GC screens as well, but no-one there seems to be missing their shadow.

Edit: Great posts, Fern. Very interesting points. I'm interested in seeing how the story is presented in ARR.... it was a major gripe of mine that in 1.0, it was so unclear as to what was where, whose memory you were in, and when it all was in relation to 1572 6(A). In my view, not much point in telling a good story, even one that is designed to keep dripping information and reveals out, if it's being obfuscated by the story telling method itself.
