Heavensward Ending (Spoiler)

[ArrowValeron]

I would expect something more akin to the Divine Might battle from FFXI. That could be incredibly fun in XIV as well, rather than resorting to the 'clone' of your character after doing something so similar in the DRK story chain.

I don't think WoD will be a mirrored me. Simply because we already saw the WoD in our game, not only in some intr or promo CGI like derplander.

Elidibus talked to him and WoD did not look like my Lala... It would be pretty dumb, if he's a Lala next time and no human anymore.
There is absolutely no reason why they shouldn't use our char models in the moon-scene in the first place, if it's really us... this was no outside-game-promo-cutscene, so there is no "derplander replaces my charakter" here.

I mean.. I'm at the INN rewatching cutscenes second time (somewhen in distant 3.6 future) and then there is this derplander cutscene and next WoD-Cutscene it's me? No way this will happen.

EXCEPT the WoD is a shapeshifting creature.

Problem is that canon wise the WoL goes to Ishgard alone with Tataru and Alphinaud only (they were guest of the Fortess house after all, but the house cant invite a legion of ppl). He/she doesnt bring anyone else to reinforce the idea of being scattered and alone after the Uldah mess

Except Tataru and Alphinaud were nowhere near Derplander in the video. Like I said in my post, he constantly did stuff in the video that we never did in the game. He is clearly his own character.

Except going to Ishgard after the sultana was [assassinated], which is a pretty rare thing to happen in and of itself... also working with Cid, which we do, and oh yeah being allowed to become a dragoon alongside Estinien in the video.

What are you talking about?

[Frederick22]

Yes you did.

Now that I notice was a mistake. I meaned the WoL. not the WoD
But looking now it is super easy to know what I was really meaning, you think bit more clearly you can see I just wrote wrong lol >_>

[Frederick22]

the WoD

Again, the fact that they showed something similar to Derplander, is a clearly evidence that the WoD would be a mirror of our characters. As you know Derpander is the default WoL so its understandable that his WoD version was showed.
Why they didnt show our mirror WoD? Its not the first time SE does this, not showing the true beacuse they would release a super big spoiler very early, but what they do is jyst lefting smal clues for is so we can have your theories and speculations.
Also Se confirmed the presense of the WoD before the early acces, so its logic why they wouldnt show more related to it.

Stuff

Yes, going to Ishgard is rare I'll give you that. But the way the midlander crossed was completely different from ours.
We went to the Dravanian Forelands with Ysayle, Estinien and Alphinaud on foot and had no idea what Cid was doing for at least 6 levels. Nothing in the video suggests that Estinien was there (who by the way was absent from the group for a long time between The Vault and the Gubal Library). Quests in the Churning Mists show that there are lots of dragoons with the same dark blue armor. Also the last segment of the video showed derplander and the dragoons in Ishgard while it is attacked by armies of dragons. I completed the MSQ and no such thing happened.

What are YOU talking about?

Snip

You're not giving me anything, though. Once more, we know that the Midlander was at the assassination, that he took the same trek into Ishgard that we did, that he is a companion of Cid. And we know what Cid was doing, he was working on airships for the Ishgardians? But beyond that...

You were saying? You see the Warrior of Light, right there, as the Midlander.

There are the scenes with Iceheart, with Estinien, with Tataru, with Alphinaud. This isn't some kind of conspiracy. We're clearly the "Derplander," and as such the ending is definitely going to be that we fight our shadowed clone.

DERPLANDER ON THE MOON WITH AN ASCIAN!

Oh man, I am so glad I stopped being able to take the MAQ seriously long before that so that I could enjoy all the absurdity of that reveal. So good.

Also I don't have the qoute on hand since it was from forever ago, but right as I saw that scene I recalled a response in the "who is the GGI midlander?" thread with Ferne going "who knows, maybe you'll even run into him in game later at some point!" and me and most of the people in my FC could just not stop laughing.

[waifugenerator]

I think the reason why Derplander was used is because the WoD will be a custom character that we create
