Thread: Dedicated Thread for Patch 2.55 Story Discussion/Spoilers

Something dawned on me doing story DR today.

Ilberd and Gaius Van Baelsar hold their swords in exactly the same way. Did SE recycle animations or is this going to come up as part of all this later?

Actually decided to look into it further, and they have the same voice actor. Looking at other footage on youtube Gaius seems to be of highlander build when compared to midlanders like Yda and Thancred. The hand sliding down the blade to throw an energy wave attack is the exact stance Gaius stands in before being engaged in Praetorium. I'm starting to think Gaius' dream of Eorzean conquest didn't end in the inferno that consumed Ultima.

I'm very suspicious of the Sultana's death. She confided in the Warrior of Light as if she KNEW she was about to disappear off the face of the earth. "I need you to take care of Raubahn."

Considering her personality, she probably just meant that she will be powerless and useless to really do anything and she wants you to help Raubahn since you aren't powerless and useless.

The only thing about that is though, the 2.5 storylines have never made us feel more useless in the grand scheme of things. I really didn't need my jazz hands of light before I got 'em to be able to take down baddies (or even after for that matter), why am I suddenly only able to look emotionless and constipated in every CS?

I think that's what irritates me the most about this wrap-up for 2.0. Essentially, all this work, for nothing. Everyone's "dead", evil or can't help themselves, the way things stand right now. Not that I was terribly disappointed to see Minfilia get washed down the drain...

I just beat the game!!!..... ?

I see alot of plot holes(Or are they...), but seeing as its an FF game I have faith in SE. They probably have a plan that, when we stand back and look after, will blow your minds! They have always been good about this sort of thing.....cept that one time**cough ff10 cough**
The 2 storys have to work together considering you cant do 3.0 story until ARR story is completed. They wouldnt want to spoil the real ending by making 3.0 a side by side story line!

**edit!**

THAT MOMENT LB3 BECOMES AOE!!! (Yda)

And if you havent yet, go to Coerthas and ride around on magitek mount O_O

Actually, during the long sequence of cutscenes, one of the traitorous Braves mentioned that they detained or subdued "loyal" or Scion-supporting Braves, so he may be referring to that as well.
