Thread: 2.5 - Before the Fall

I believe that's exactly what Yoshida said; they wont be the focus anymore, though Alexander is a thing now, so as usual I'm getting mixed messages from the guy...

I could actually see the Mystery Trial being Zodiark, since all the pieces for us defeating the Ascians are already in place save one, and I'm thinking the 2.51 story content is marking the return of Nidhogg, with "The Battle for Ishgard" being the dragons first assault, which we help repel resulting in Ishgard welcoming us in come 3.0. So 2.5 could resolve the Ascians storyline with 2.51 setting up the expansion. I'd still put my money on Ultima Ballad 2.0, though.

I was under the impression "Urth's Fount" and "Revenge of Gilgamesh" were self explanatory.
