Thread: 2.3 Main Story Discussion [ Spoilers!]

Well I had a feeling from 2.0's ending that The Ascians had to be some where with a nice dungeon/cellar. Then in 2.2-2.3 story we saw more of it and made me think they were hiding in Ishgard. Since it was such a well upkept dungeon with grey bricks. I also kind of always thought Ishgard had an ominous visage and feel to it, especially with the rude gate guards. But i do want to know what is to come! That was a better ending imo then the revolution one! Btw gives more credance to the prerelease interview with Yoshi-p saying that Ishgard will be a huge event (battlefield) where more than 40 characters need to be loaded. So I expect we will be storming Ishgard in some large scale (hopefully open world) besieged like content attempting to reclaim Ishgard.

I think I remember reading the ascian story gets wrapped up in 3.0, along with a bit of the empire. But ya will be a lot of fun.
Edit: I think 2.0 will wrap with either Omega or Zodiark doing something to the world and we failing to prevent an event, a first for our 2.0 story, i thought that after Y'shtola was all "you always succeed at everything you do" paraphrased. So with that statement I have a feeling we will fail and the Ascians win at this point leading into 3.0 leaving us licking our wounds and figuring out what to do. I think it will have something to do with this plan by the scions failing utterly to stop the ascians and the world becomes a ffvi "world of ruin" for 3.0

Well I trust some of the members of the Crystal Braves. However, 2.3 story already show signs of doubt from the other City-state leaders due to the Scion's current rise to power through 2.X storyline so it already foreshadowing these kind of events.

However, I fear the betrayal will be one of the city-states or all three of them.

If you also notice, after the Crystal Company formed, they are stationed in all the City-states.

Also with the Ascians taking control of Ishgard's pope ( Teaser at the end of 2.3) It seems like (even in instanced form) may go into Ishgard to stop the pope/Ascians from doing, whatever it is they are trying to do.

Also, the story seems to be about to hit it's climax before the end of ARR story ( which will most likely open the gates to Ishgard). So 2.4 Shiva/ third coil etc.

2.5 Omega weapon gets Rez, Omega defeat bahamut (or even consume bahamut like Ultima did with Garuda/Titan/Ifrit.), and then we will have to fight Omega ( which I hope they make it difficult. If that is the final final battle, I want it to be epic, harder the EX, just as hard as coilish.

2.4- September/October
2.5- December ( they always try to give us a patch before christmas) could be January too.

March 2015= Expansion.

That is my prediction.
