    Not only that, look at the new achievements! These two in particular:

    Enough Expository Banter ------- Defeat ??? at ???.
    Secret Ascian Man ------------- Defeat ??? in ???.

    There seem to be two separate mystery boss fights, the second of which is almost certainly an Ascian in our mystery trial. The first is probably Gilgamesh or something linked to Hildibrand.

    Yeah, Secret Ascian man is pretty telling. What has me perplexed is the one above. It is a very overt referece to Gilgamesh, but why bother with the ??? Why not write Defeat Gilgamesh at Battle in the Big Keep? Is Gilgamesh posessed by an Ascian?

    It may be to do with Enkidu. They've dropped a lot of very explicit hints about the 'true' Enkidu's return but haven't outright said it anywhere yet even though everyone knows it's coming. I'm guessing we'll be fighting both of them at the same time, in which case the achievement conditions might spoil the side story a little.

    I would say it's much more likely that the trial does not end with defeating Gilgamesh. We likely have to defeat Enkidu or something else when we change location entirely.

    Though yes, the English notes also have a number of errors, so it may just be a typo.

    Couple of questions, and links...

    Don't know if these links will work, but here goes...

    Any ideas what Derplander's doing with Tupsimati in this shot?

    Also, from the Pt. 2 storyline...

    Holy crap, is that Estinien from the Dragoon Job Storyline?

    I'm struggling to see how Enkidu who is part of an alleged Side-Story quest, all of a sudden merges into the Main Story. We might as well make T13 a requirement for the final quest of 2.5 Part 1 whilst we're at it.

    There's nothing to indicate he's part of the main story though. Just an achievement that references Gilgamesh with a blanked out boss name and location. If they're keeping it a secret then there's probably something about the fight that we don't know yet, i.e. Enkidu's presence.

    I'd put them ???ing out the obvious Gilgamesh achievement down to the same reason we are apparently getting Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy for Frontlines (Slaughter) and why the Gilgamesh Trial has a duration of 60 players, as well as all the other numerous typos in the patch notes...

    Really hope they go with my suggestion for Gilgamesh back before he was even introduced; "Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And women! And men who fight as catgirls! For Gilgamesh... IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!".

    He uses the staff to cast a blade of light on an ascian it seems. And we can't say that it's Estinien, the Heavensward trailer shows some dragoons in the AF, meaning that the AF isn't only the gear of the Divine Dragon, it's possibly another dragoon.

    I figure this is the right place to go about linking to this... Fusionx approached me, a less-than-sane fury in his eyes, and explained in vivid detail a theory that Sultana Nanamo Ul Namo was doomed. (Doom doom doom doom dooooooomed.) I said he was crazy. But then he handed me a darksteel foil hat and we looked at the 2.5 logo again... and we started seeing things... Here's his theory. He might still be crazy... but, gods damn it, something's up...
