Stormblood trailer

[Rhaja]

Really think this is a dancer. You can see the arm blade on her right hand

Just want to point out MNK's have more arm blade weapons than blunt weapons.

Also I think its safe to say its "Yda". I get the feeling there's two of them running around.

I'll counter point out that gladiator's used daggers up until rogue/ninja release where all daggers they had were remade into swords in both name and appearance.

Not only that but, monks themselves are supposed to deal blunt damage. Meaning all the bladed type weapons they kept churning out for monks are inherently wrong... something they realized when the playerbase consistently pointed this out to them. Hence they've been moving away from such things and most new monk weapons are largely actual blunt fist weapons. (Something I've been immensely thankful for)

Anyways, this whole monk vs dancer debate is really starting to seem awfully similar to the ACN/SMN/SCH debate back in beta lol.

If I remember my Monk quests correctly... The order for the Monks originated in Ala Mhigo, so they're most likely going be noteworthy in the story.

SPOILER if you haven't beaten the story up to now.

They're setting so much up for Yda at the end of the latest story arc and we were practically confirming we'd be going to Ala Mhigo. I think that in 3.5 Yda will reveal her true identity as a higher up in Ala Mhigo, because the woman seems to share a lot of characteristics with her. Plus there's Yda's entire thing with always hiding her face which she seems pretty gungho with making sure it stays that way at the moment. Why would she need to hide her face if she was just an every day citizen that had to leave? The woman in the video looked very regal if you ask me! But your guess is as good as mine, only hole I can think of in my story is her tattoo.

Yda also is pretty much inseparable from Papalymo too (who is not seen anywhere in the trailer)... then there's the little fact she's not actually a MNK at all but a PGL (although that could easily be retconned of course). Yda never seemed to move in that way either in all the times she participated in battle in both 1.0 and ARR/HW, so I don't know, I'm not yet willing to believe that is Yda (the aforementioned lack of the Sharalyan/Circle of Knowing tattoo on her neck is the big giveaway).... more likely it's a new character.

[CaptainLagbeard]

I don't know if it's Yda, but reading the quest journal about the 3.4 quest "An Ending to Mark a New Beginning"...

Gundobald, the old guy at Little Ala Mhigo who recognized Yda talked about her parents, how he fought with them against the Garleans, and how Yda used to be a part of the resistance group trying to take Ala Mhigo back...
Maybe the two in the trailer were Yda's parents?

No tattoo and her tits are bigger, it's not Yda m8.

Makeup and pushup bra. Your move!

[EdwinLi]

The place where the tattoo should be on the neck is being covered by that large necklace. It would be impossible to tell if she is Yda or not with that thing on.

Also, if this Trailer is supposed to take place in Ala Mhigo, there's a rather big lack of Garlean troops holding the place...

So it's probably set in the past, before the place was taken over.

The trailer showed the WoL (its him) and a new character or a old that we will find out about in 3.5. The location that you saw with the hand is called Rhalgar Breach (the name might be wrong) this is the Ala Mhigan Resistance main zone, their HQ is here aswell. So I one can understand why there are no Garlean forces stationed there.
