Thread: 3.5/4.0 Speculation & Discussion (Spoilers)

I'm pretty sure the Griffin / Ilberd isn't going to be killed off - not before the tentative Primal Rhalgr is summoned. Yes, I still believe he will be the last boss on Baelsar's Wall, but that doesn't necessarily mean we're going to kill him - we're heroes, after all - or that he'll be killed later on. Personally, if what I'm reading into this is true, I would kill him in a heartbeat - betraying the Crystal Braves, dismembering my General, trying to kill my General, and now riling up trouble to lure Alliance soldiers to their deaths on Baelsar's Wall to empower himself. That's a bit much for me to forgive.

Anyway, now that I'm rested I've rethought things and tried to plot it out a bit more clearly. Remember they're trying to put the dungeons early into the MSQ now so people who don't care about the story don't have to worry about doing a bunch of story to get EX Roulette back up.

1. Baelsar's Wall
2. Primal Rhalgr(?)
3. White Dalamud
4. Lotus Stand
5. Cartenau (3.5 End)
6. Omega Restored (3.5.5 Begin)
7. White Dalamud Explodes
8. Wave Cannon
9. Final Showdown with Super Griffin(?)

The Masks make trouble up on Baelsar's Wall, necessitating intervention from the Alliance. The Griffin uses this to get lots of people killed and transform himself into a primal. Papalymo uses Tupsimati to seal the new primal into a White Dalamud, but knows it won't last forever and we need another, more permanent answer. Unsure of what to do, the Alliance calls a council at the Lotus Stand. Nero interrupts and suggests Omega. We go to Cartenau to reclaim it, but have to deal with the Garleans because they've flown in to get it for the same purpose (and future use). Nero and Cid, combining their expertise, get Omega operational again, and we fly in to stop the new primal. White Dalamud explodes, forcing us to blast the new Primal with Omega's Wave Cannon. The explosion of White Dalamud and/or Omega's Wave Cannon destroys Baelsar's Wall, opening a door into Gyr Abania. Before we can go to the region proper, we will have one final battle - the new primal, severely weakened from Wave Cannon, in 3.5.5. After that, 4.0.
