3.1 Main Scenario picture

[SirPhoebos]

Psht please, Aymeric won't die. S-E isn't the type to showcase and spoil a certain death of a character through a trailer. Before we even get to play it. It will only serve as story material, to let us the player know that things are brewing in Ishgard.

I'm more interested in the significance of that shield scene.

Didn't one of the FFVII commercials show Aerith dead?

[Shikiseki]

Aymeric better not dye, he's the Nanamo/Kan-E-Senna/Merlwyb of Ishgard.
Thinking about the patch title... I'm afraid we'll have an unfortunate encounter with our WoD and his gang... Too early to fight an 2-eyed Nidhogg.

I'm really excited to find out, what part Krile will play, will she replace one of our core Scions for the future, or a fleeting guest like Moen...

Pretty sure Aymeric isn't going to dye [sic], he's just getting shanked.

I know everyone's saying the lalafell is Krile, but do we know that for sure yet? It's the most likely bet, but if it turns out to not be Krile and is a new character I hope somebody picks up that phone.

[Fenral]

She's wearing Krile's signature outfit, and the one line we've heard from her implies she's someone we've been waiting to meet for a while. It's not guaranteed, sure, but as far as bets go, it seems pretty safe.

I've been calling for Krile to make her introduction for long enough, if that isn't Krile, then I'm joining up with Derplander and his Warriors of Derpness. Perfect timing for Krile to show up, what with Minfilia being missing. I might drop kick a kitten (a gaelikitten, don't worry I don't think I'm that flexible) if this is just Tataru back from seeing the Aesthetician for a new haircut, plus new gear because she became serious about leveling Arcanist... I mean really, you don't have to give me Exodus, the Judge-Sal and tie up that whole Belias-Egi business right away SE, but this damn well better be Krile... You can't dangle that name in front of me for this long... Likewise, you can't give her a splinter and not expect me to absolutely lose my shit... Moment she steps into the Twelveswood (or as I like to call it, the Forest of Moore, just watch that be the Allagan name for the place...), I'm on high alert, my Final Fantasy V senses have been tingling ever since Living Liquid...

As far as counter theories go though;

Either it is someone completely new, and SE just loves to screw with me, which I guess we know is true... Might as well just call her Moenbryda 2.0 if that's the case, though.
As mentioned, Tataru got a new look (and voice?) and is going to be helpful now.
Fantasia Potions are canon, Papalymo had one and used it to escape Ul'dah.

If it ain't Krile, my money is on a gender-bent Papalymo. Heck, I oddly want that now...

[Rbstr]

Just a quick thing to point out:
In the trailer at 6:59 Derplander is getting the black shield handed to him. Derplander is wearing a spear/lance in that scene. Pretty sure that's the drg AF2 chest as well.

[Belhi]

This could be why they changed the Derplander in the trailer to a DRG. So we wouldn't get confused between WoL Derplander and WoD Derplander.

To be honest its kind of confusing at the moment. I think Ill just wait rather than speculating.

[Cilia]

Well I have a... complicated hypothesis, but it hinges on the Ravana fight scene being an Echo flashback like some people have said it is and I'm not sold on that yet.

[Velox]

Things are all derp'd up right now

[Remus]

They have already said in the live letter which recently happened that it's Krile.
