Thread: 2.4 Aftermath and speculation for future content (Spoilers)

Wouldn't happen in a million years. It seems like Square doesn't want the player character to suffer at all and would rather use NPCs as the vessel for whatever the plot demands while the player does the legwork.

If not my first theory than my other theory, which is also a stretch..

Instead of us being the vessel, to defeat Zodiark we absorb him unto ourselves and that also leads to Drk lore of controlling it without losing our "way"

Yes, I know I tend to be trying to lead it into Drk lore but it would make sense of wielding darkness without necessarily being evil, like Yoshida spoke about in FanFest NA.

Yoshi P said (back during the transition of 1.0 to 2.0) that a large group of players 'might' be able to summon a primal as sort of an ultimate limit break. This came up during questions about SMN and why they could only summon little egi and not a real primal. I have to go search for the quote, but I assumed they dropped the whole idea until the 2.4 storyline. Now it makes me think we might see this come up either as a story element where the Scions/player are able to summon and join with a primal (or the twelve) or a game play element where the raid can summon a primal as an ultimate LB.

I'm pretty sure the primal summoning was in regards to an open-world battle. As far as I know we haven't heard any news on the new LB animations since they were announced.

I don't recall if the SMN storyline covers it but the most logical reason we only summon an Egi is because summoning a whole primal in full form would drain us (thus killing us) and the land of aether.

I think the Asciens goal is to make us stronger and to "convince" us to join their side; maybe be the physical vessel for Zodiark. But thay won't happen.

I wouldn't be too surprised, it's kinda reminding me of Kingdom Hearts plot. So I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow were able to clone us (or find an equal to us)

That reminds me of the story-line in Final Fantasy Dissidia, in the 13th cycle in the relation to the heroes and Cosmos' power. Perhaps SE is making the relation of Hydaelin and Zodiark similar to the never-ending conflict between Cosmos and Chaos.

I won't get into details in case other people haven't played Dissidia and want to discover the story through their own means.
