Thread: 3.5/4.0 Speculation & Discussion (Spoilers)

Finally watched it!

Fights look intense as always.

Umm...

For story, I wasn't expecting Nero to actually go to the Alliance for this. Still, he's a schemer, and you always gotta read into a schemer's moves. While he has a point that sending us in alone and hoping we succeed so the world doesn't collapse isn't exactly the best solution (not to mention extraordinarily lazy of the GCs), I'm still not convinced he's in it for wholly good reasons. Side note: I'm not yet convinced he's heroic or an expatriate, exactly, since because he can't return to Garlemald Nero has few other options. That said if Omega is going to play a part in 3.5(.5), this could be a more clear first step toward positive character development for him, not to mention calling out the GCs on treating us practically as their beast of burden for saving the world time and again.

I figured the fighting on Baelsar's Wall was going to be in response to the Ala Mhigan Resisance (esp. the Masks) stirring up trouble. Did not expect it to be for killing people and using their life force, apparently, to summon a new primal. Damn you, Ilberd Griffin! I swear if he's using this as a lure to get more people killed to summon / empower this new primal...

Also, were those Warmechs?!

Very flashing. Such images. GET HYPE!!!

Using Omega to shoot a Dalamud gun at this new primal? Hmm. Let's hope it works, because it looks like bad juju if it doesn't. Since Omega is going to be the 4.x raid I'm... not sure one way or another.

Upon learning it was heavily implied the False Griffin was Gallien, I took a gander to Quarrymill and spoke to the refugees there. If you speak with Meffrid, he says that his men have heard about the Griffin and some have joined his cause - but none have been heard back from. The fact death is being used to summon / empower this new primal has me more worried than ever about what, exactly, the Masks are up to.
