The Great Betrayal!

The guy on the left looks like Ser Aymeric. Both are Elezen. Both are wearing that fancy blue armor.

I thought Elezen have pointy ears? I'm sure the guy on the left doesn't have pointy ears.

As long as it's not Y'shtola i'm happy.

Um Icehart will become the new leader of the Scions because Minfilia can't contact Hydelan anymore. The last time we had an echo vision was right before fighting Shiva. Minfilia hasn't had one in forever John. In forever..

She has become one with the Ascians!

This must be the initiation ceremony!

Anyway, I feel like I've seen these facial features before during the storyline;

I can't put my finger on who it was. It just looks.. familiar? :O

I believe it was the same guy after you beat Shiva for the first time. The (nasally) voice is the same.

He is somewhat similar to Urianger, but a side-by-side comparison quickly kills any theory that they might be the same person.

That screenshot you took has a goatee and wispy moustache, the Ascian has no goatee or moustache in sight.

What striked me the most was this image. If you've completed the SCoB,

you'll notice this exact same beam striked down Nael Deus Darnus before she got blown up into Aether by Louisoix. http://puu.sh/evOqZ/602083b7b3.pngWhat if this isn't just a coincident but rather, certain Primals or individuals who have large amounts of aether in them (Louisoix was a primal at this point) can use this beam?

What if it was Midgrasdomr that used it? Or one of the Ascians actually kill us off, we return moments later but fully infused with Aether?

This sounds EXTREMELY far'fetched, but what if us dying, converting into Aether and returning again, grants us a greater power or a completely new combat mechanic we can use in 3.0?

I think minfilia is just kept prisoner and chained to that statue with some kind of magic. Still, i do hope we'll say goodbye to her! <3

If they have really showed RDM will be in heavensward, I'll buy the game on day one.
