Thread: Krile (potential role in 3.1 and beyond)

Slycer on the bluegartr forums posted a translation of a Famitsu interview.

Krile will play an active role in one of the storylines.

What will become of the new character Krile who just recently appeared?

Yoshida: Of course, they will be an important character in the story. Looking back on the 2.X series, we believe that there was too much focus on the main characters, so based on that, we've divided the story of the 3.X series into several storylines and the content and main story will develop in parallel paths. Krile is a key player in one of the storylines and will play an important role.

So you've learned from past mistakes.

Yoshida: In the 2.X series, there were the problems with the three nations, the primals, and the Crystal Braves which were all incorporated into the main storyline. As a result, while players did look forward to the storyline content, if they wanted to unlock the playable content quickly, they would skip through the scenario to unlock the content. In the 3.X series, rather than having a single main storyline which also unlocks the content, we've decided to have multiple parallel paths so that players can start wherever they like. For example, you start the primal quest and unlock it right away without being forced to skip through the main scenario.

If that storyline is split, are you saying that Krile won't be part of the main scenario?

Yoshida: Since it will be their first appearance, they will be introduced in the main scenario of patch 3.1. The role of Krile will become more clear starting from patch 3.2.

Will any news about other members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn besides Y'shtola become clear in the main scenario?

Yoshida: Whether they'll come back or not... you might have heard someone's voice in the trailer video (laughs).

I was expecting them to return one by one in each patch throughout this expansion.

Yoshida: I can see why you would think that, and that may be what happens (laughs). Please play through it to actually confirm, but we've already decided all of their fates.

So I think we can almost 100% rule out the Moenbryda route.

That article was a very interesting read! Now I'm even more curious what 3.1 will bring, lol. About Krile... yes, it really sounds like she won't share Moen's fate. At least she will survive for more than a few patch cycles. Btw., did somebody recognize which voice he could mean? I watched the english trailer, but play with japanese audio, so I don't really know the english voices :/
