Deciphering Louisoix's Journal

[Enkidoh]

The thing is, Square Enix deliberately makes these teasers ambiguous for this reason - to get us obsessive players speculating and to hopefully keep interest in the game throughout the new year. It should be noted that most of the fan theories about the previous Lousioux journal entry (released at the beginning of last year) turned out completely wrong though (some of them were downright laughable, but the journal entry in hindsight

just hinted at how the main scenario in ARR would play out - that the player would be blessed by Hydaelyn as 'the blade of light' - which was literally mentioned in the ending scenes - and the 'blade of might' being Gaius and the XIVth Legion who opposed them.

.

Because my theories are normally either woefully inaccurate or later turn out disproved anyway, I'm not going to speculate on this new journal entry as a result and just 'see how things turn out'. It's going to be an interesting year in Eorzea in any event.

Well I think it's fun to speculate and decipher. Shutting me down like that is kinda killjoy-ish behavior. Now I'm all sad and stuff. I might even cry!

But in all seriousness, I think I'm right about the primal Shiva or Mateus making an appearance at the very least. Either that, or it's another ice-themed character from Final Fantasy lore (Black Waltz 1?), or it's a completely new character with an ice theme.

I don't even care if I'm actually right or not. I just like to think of the possibilities. Besides, it's not like the devs aren't watching the forums. Who knows? Maybe some of this speculation we come up with will end up catching the ear of the right people and they might actually decide to use some of our theories as ideas in distant patches and expansions.
