Done!

I suppose a pre-revelations thread revelations thread could be in order.

• Going on the offensive to take Sephirot out before he can officially escape sounds like a good plan; catch him groggy like Diabolos. I really like how you can see his control over nature exhibit itself in the growing trees and grasses in the arena. I'm wondering if that's why the Triad statues in Azys Lla suddenly became mossy. Will they take on other traits after he's defeated and the others awaken? The way he dies mid-fight and is reborn larger might give some hint as to how an extreme version can exist with no summoners.

• The hints about the costs of war transposed over us standing averse Raubahn and Thancred punching the younger Fortemps seem like they might be headed somewhere interesting, even if it's not exactly what it looks like.

• Lot of new mobs just in time for the new bestiary reference guide's release. Nothing like a good stress test, I suppose! As XIV tries to strike a balance between celebrating FF history with mobs everyone enjoyed and not just rehashing old things, I've been eagerly awaiting the return of Sea Horror. I think I see it there, by the Dirty Eyes ... but is it a voidsent!? (Also new gana, new groundskeeper, FFXI beetle, FFXI magic pot, possible new skatane, a very lucky spriggan, and what appears to be lots of new golemized structures, aaand "Calcabrina"...)

• The goblins have access to Voltron technology. That is all.

• Dyeable Coil 1/2 gear. So good

• MUSIC - SO - GOOD.

Soooo. About that whole 15 page Minfilia-the-martyr thread. . .

I'm hoping that is aimed at Alphinaud and the Dragonsong War, personally. Estinien seemed like the kinda guy who understood that, and would gladly die to put Nidhogg down, meanwhile Alphinaud is coming across as someone who wants to save Estinien, no matter what...

Also, Raubahn fight... Please let that be an unwinnable duty like we should have got in 2.55, it would be a nice confidence boost for the poor guy... Still waiting on Godbert to add Slot Machines to Gold Saucer and model them on Raubahn lol...

Was there ever anything about Amdapor having Time Magic? Seem to remember something like that, and Lost City seems to be taking us back in time to when it was still pristine... First boss also seems to clone players.

Think I might have my Alexander Four Fiends reference, too... One of the sections seems to have a robot, and it seems to be the long hallway with four platforms... Then the final boss has them joining together... They're even Blue/Green/Red/Yellow for Water/Wind/Fire/Earth... Spiked floors, giant ball of death, moving battlefield, seems they're also making it seem more like the environment is just as much an enemy this time, too. Kind of looking forward to it now.

Gnath dailies seem to have a Gnath teaching the Knights at the Convictory about their Dragon-repel smoke.

If this is all going to be about teaching Alphinaud to cast aside his idealism and resign himself to the realities of necessary sacrifice, I will actually burn my Heavensward CE and send the video to Yoshida. Ideals are not the shallow, ignorant things they gets billed as any time writers want to be "edgy." Fortunately, the Moonspeak line is very different, more of a resigned "You stupid kids, haven't you learned that war never changes and won't solve anything?"

So, without further ado, the transcribed Japanese:

The goal you rally around is a wish strong enough to offer up your life, or the life of another, is it?

The VA change masks some of the casting a bit, but my super-fanboy ears confirm Miyuki Sawashiro (in her much-neglected soprano range) as the speaker of the final line, which means it's said either by or through Minfilia, unlike past encounters with the Mothercrystal.

About Raubahn.
It doesnt look to you like a solo instance Nalien?
I really have suspicions that it will be like a test. To see if we are capable of fighting a friend in case it turned to be against us and that there is really no orther way. It doesnt need to be that complicated.

About Amapoar city's new areas.
It doesnt necesary need to be a travel time thing. It just could be a place where all was perfectly preserved, we know that it exists the magicks to do such a thing.
Also did anyone notice that some structures looks like the Sanctum of the Twelve?

Aside from Raubahn's appearance, I'm curious about that white space behind Aymeric. It looks like a large cloth. To me that means its an unveiling ceremony of some kind, maybe a memorial or a mural commemorating something?

Also the fact that Aymeric's ears have changed shape.

The Training Dummy in Stone, Sky, Sea is a Primal summoned forth by adventurers' desires for good DPS.

Are you asking about Amdapori Time Magic b/c of all the XI models? :P (Beetle, Kraken, Magic Pot...)

Yeah, that XI Kraken seemed a bit out of place. If he's not named Sea Horror, Onzozo, or Charybdis I'm going to be extremely upset.

The Magic Pot is a good one, though. I'm surprised it wasn't used earlier.
