3.5/4.0 Speculation & Discussion (Spoilers)

I'll get to it when I'm off work!

No, this love story angle might end up being correct. And considering how the queen looks, it is even understandable.

**Aerish** · 01-07-2017 12:16 AM

With all those little hearts evrywhere in dun scaith, it's smells love and se...

**Neophyte** · 01-07-2017 01:27 AM

Hm, is that the WoD at 7:04 of the trailer? Thought he's busy.

**Remus** · 01-07-2017 01:35 AM

RIP Griffin. Now you know you beat him lol

**Theodric** · 01-07-2017 04:14 AM

Well, we know there's a 'fake' Griffon out there already. So the real one could be doing a bait and switch. Either way it seems like he fully intends to sacrifice some of his own people in the name of reclaiming Ala Mhigo and acquiring 'power' which suggests to me that he isn't so much interested in 'justice' and simply wishes to make himself into a Primal and rule over it with an iron fist whilst making Garleans suffer in the process...and pretty much anyone else that opposes him.

I hadn't thought of Ilberd taking Rhalgr into himself, but it's exactly the ridiculous act of desperation he'd do too.

Very curious what happens to Regula and Unukalhai--Regula should probably start thinking about getting off of Azys Lla with what's happening in Ala Mhigo...if he survives Zurvan, that is

Allied Beast Tribe 3.0 was a curious surprise-- dealing with the leftovers of Vundu? With the power of EVEN GREATER DANCE? Okay, I guess.

Glad to hear 1.0 tracks returning, but a Thanalan battle theme for Sohm Al (Hard)? And I still can't make heads or tails of what we're doing there. Exterminating a lava mite??

Diadem's revamp tying into Dun Scaith/Shadow of Mhach will forever get a thumbs up from me. A really cute/elegant way to change the content.

Speaking of Mhach--I didn't expect Radlia to show back up so soon? Or at all, really. A proper Deathgaze fight!? Diabolos takes the fight to the Redbills? Woefully tired of sexy scantily clad ladies as final bosses in this series though--I suspect I might be in the minority though. The weird amalgamations of mantis-like creatures featured during the Scathach fight are unsettling. The stained glass windows changing through the fight is pretty neat too.

Had Arvina not appeared in Palace of the Dead I'd call that Garlean Roegadyn him in a heartbeat. He even has a shield of Tartarus! (and apparently Mjolnir, but don't pay attention to that). Nero has never felt like a patriot to me, so his "defection" seems self-serving. He's always been this guy willing to do whatever to get what he wants (Allagan toys) and being that he supervised the repair of the Ultima Weapon, it's doubly fitting he'd want Omega. Who among us would know more about trapping primals in Allag contraptions?

The whole Baelsar's Wall bit will be.. ridiculous.. (I hope). Ala Mhigan Resistance goes in, Eorzean Alliance seizes this moment, Garlemald repels the Resistance easily (because the Griffin never intended to win this fight) , the Alliance is caught by surprise at the sheer number of Garleans they've to fight now, begin to lose, Warrior of Light is deployed. Warrior of Light finds and corners the Griffin, defeat the Griffin in "honorable combat," he activates his trump card (the Eyes/summoning)--a primal forms (you can even see the feet in the lil baby Dalamud!). Nero, Cid, and Yda--probably underground Carteneau at the Omega Control Station or something fire up Omega which shoots out of the ocean near Seal Rock and to East Shroud, readies its Dalamud gun (Yda over reacting, I bet, with Cid going "IT'S NOT READY YET!"), fires, but doesn't have the juice to contain a Primal after its haphazard awakening from a millenia's old stupor. Nero's smile/indifference is awkward. Did he plan for Omega to fail? Why is Zenos so happy? Is Nero giving us the ole ruse business? Pretending to defect from Garlemald to help Garlemald? Just like my boy Warburton who pretended to defect from the Ala Mhigan Resistance to help the Ala Mhigan Resistance? Perhaps Zenos has enticed Nero with the promises of the Gyr Abania Allagan Ruins, after all, that's where they found Ultima Weapon.

SHRUG. I'M EXCITED.

So, for grins, I compared this to the 3.4 video, and a couple of things stood out.

Power like the power to raise a primal through your deaths? Might tie in with the Rhalgr idea, or it could be akin to chasing an untamed ornithoid without cause.

Interesting that those are his lines in the two trailers, and that they are opposite to each other. I know the trailers are edited in a way that means you can prove up is down and so on, but like I said, they stood out.

Funny thing is, Omega will be mostly dealt with as it will be a raid in 4.0 therefore not the subject of the main scenario.

They have said Omega will be part of the main scenario of 4.0 during the fanfest, though it will indeed not be defeated until the raid. Probably will end up in the Interdimensional Rift at some point during 4.0.
