Thread: Some revelations about the Ascians (Patch 2.5 MAJOR SPOILERS)

I am convinced that this is going to explain Free Company Primal Summoning. The horn on Tupsimati certainly gave Lou more control over his summoning than any of the tribes displayed, he not only withheld the Twelves full power, but controlled it to try and reforge Dalamud. Meanwhile every other summoning we have seen just has the Primal popping out of the sky and attempting murder. I'm imagining we'll take Tupsimati (or another such relic) and use it to simply bring Ifrit in to do Hellfire before sending him off in a similar sort of fashion.

Wondering about the origin of these horns now, Tupsimatis was said to be "passed down from antiquity" (from the anniversary stuff). I wonder if each City-State has/had one? I know it's not happening now that we get Alexander in 3.0, but I always liked the concept of the Twelve being Alexander split apart (ala IX) to protect his followers. Each horn would then be similar to the 4 city crystals IX had.

I wonder how literal this might be... I can see them simply meaning "of this era", meaning Lahabrea and Elidibus are simply Echo users who "ascended" somewhat recently, I imagine that's what Elidibus has in mind for Minfilia too. If it really is an alien invasion plot (hi Final Fantasy IV and IX), then it certainly makes sense for Elidibus to be an emissary, though Lahabrea an overlord?

Makes me wonder if "The Rejoining" is simply this;
