[spoiler]Minfilia:

The theories that involved her being taken over by Hydaelyn proved to be correct. She did not sound entirely pleased by her fate and I can't help but feel as though Hydaelyn coerced her and did not tell her - or us - everything. It's easy for Hydaelyn to blame Zodiark but I suspect that there is much more to the conflict between Light and Darkness than 'Good' and 'Evil'.

Triad:

Garlean involvement isn't all that surprising. If they plan to go down the FF6 route, though, one has to wonder why they introduced a completely new Emperor...especially if he's just going to be betrayed and killed off. I suspect that there may be a twist. Regula could very well be Tempered by the Triad...or driven insane by Allagan technology. Perhaps it's just me but he seemed slightly rougher around the edges than before.

Krile:

Interesting that she mentioned being the sole survivor of the destruction of the Isle of Val. Hydaelyn saved her but left others to perish - so she definitely plays favourites despite claiming to love 'all of her children'.

Estinien:

I sort of expected him to show up. It seems like we'll be dealing with him as the main antagonist of 3.3. I like that Alphinaud is trying to save him. I hope he breaks away from the rest of the Scions as they ultimately become more cynical and jaded. If we can't save Estinien, though, I imagine that'll send Alphinaud over the edge.

Side notes:

- Aymeric's wound being problematic was a neat touch.
- I liked the motives and passionate speech of the maid during the chaos in Falcon's Nest. Her position was easy to sympathise with and it made sense - and I'd love to see more of that sort of thing in the future to make conflicts even more morally dubious.[/spoiler]

In the case of the FF6 route, Regula would be Gestahl.

Who is Kefka then?

(Hopes they are wrong)

Assuming they even use kefka, or not try something new...

Wouldn't the most likekly candidates be either Unukalhai, or the new garlean emperor?

Will add more when not so knackered - I just really need to get this off my ashamed chest...

The Grand Melee was cool... I only have one problem... and that is that I am absolutely wrought with disgust and shame over having to fight for the Ishgardian side and not at the side of my sworn nation, Ul'dah (even if them other two were there also)... digging the dagger further in was that I had to wear that armour!

To all of my Immortal Flame's out here/there, I am sorry; however, I will forgive this forced allegiance for one reason... and that is I got to fight the man himself, Raubahn, and he was awesome. /flamesalute

Raubahn seemed rather pleased that he had a chance to fight us. He even went all out just to make sure he would have us all for himself. I'm surprised he didn't go straight for us right out the gate.

This was really annoying to me as well. Mainly because I fight for Limsa Lominsa, as I don't trust Uldah any further than I can throw it (I can't... it's a city...), but also because I had to wear that stupid armor. I just got a nice Link Glamour, I've been roleplaying as "The Hero of Time Transported to Eorzea, and now they make me wear that stupid armor after begging me to help them. You want my help, I wear my green tunic!

But at there there something like a "forgive cake for players" about it. Aymeric as for an apologize if he had offended the GC leaders by using the WoL on his sight using Ishgardian colors.

As a Flame, I felt like Raubahn took it rather lightly, like a nice, professional duel. No offense taken from him. If anything, he should have taken me out for a drink. We've been through so much **** together, we deserve it.

That being said, politically not everything has returned to sunshine and rainbows in Ul'dah I'm not sure why we thought this was a particularly good idea to fight a mock battle against the GC leader of a country we were just outcast from no more than a few months in-game time ago. I felt like that was just adding fuel to a fire that had just barely turned to embers.

And yes, that glamour was hideous.

Well don't forget that pretty much all the citizens in every city believed the WOL was innocent anyway and Limsa and Gridania's leaders told their people to treat you as such, not to mention after Nanamo was brought back, Lolorito had officially declared the WOL and the Scions innocent.

**Ayuhra** · 02-24-2016 04:04 PM

Anyone else feel like Aymeric is falling in love with us?

Just me?

Okay.
