Launch Trailer Hype Thread

[Khalithar]

Finally got to hear zenos' voice and I definitely liked it, it was well acted. But that quote got me like thinking, he says "only man had the wisdom and clarity to enjoy violence for its own sake." It really got me thinking, games nowadays really demonize people who enjoy killing others just to watch them die.

I just don't get it. After seeing Zenos and hearing what he had to say, not gonna lie, I really like the cut of his jib.

That was me being facetious by the way.

While the Scions are going to Ala Mhigo and Othard ostensibly for the revolution, I seem to recall their bigger concerns were Shinryu and Omega Weapon...

...yet, where are they?

As for Y'shtola, I guess she should have switched to AST. Flowers haven't been good for her health, I guess.

Well they aren't going to show ALL the cards, and in fact things like Y'shtola's grave injury are probably there to mask whatever spoilers will happen with those two. Omega atleast might not show up until the raid, and Shinryu almost certainly will as well but its still a fairly good point to expect one of them to wreck havoc at some point late in the story.

So like, haven't really seen anyone talking about this, but is anyone else curious about Lyse's weapon? An arm-mounted sword like that is certainly a departure from anything else I can recall seeing in the game.

[KageTokage]

I might've expected that the emperor's son would have some fancy toys.

I'm guessing his swords are probably powerful relics claimed back when Othard was first conquered, so naturally someone over there will know what can be done about them if they're making him that difficult to deal with.

In any case, I'm hoping we'll at least get to try to fight him in a solo duty or some such before he gets the better of us (For the time being), considering that almost everyone else seems to do the same.

Not really relics as he only has Katanas because he grew fond of them in the conquest of Othard.

In a way this reflects the nature of some people in the world and video gamers as there are people out there who only enjoy violence just for the sake of violence.

Heck some players for this game only plays FF14 for the sake of reach Endgame and to just kill things while skipping and ignoring all the cutscene/story/lore aspect of the game and have zero knowledge about what is going on in this game storyline because the only thing that matters to them in the end is to reach the end and mindlessly kill endgame bosses without knowing why they are doing this lore wise in the game.

FPS games are the greatest example of Violence for the sake of violence as that is why people play FPS for being "violence for the sake of violence" in multiplayer.

So I'm dumb/possibly blind. Where's everyone seeing Estinien? o.o

I NEED HIS GORGEOUS FACE IN MY LIFE AGAIN. QQ

(Yes, big awesome trailer, lots of boom. Lots of pow. Lots of pretty lights. And this is all I have to say for it. But really, you guys are better at lore theorycrafting than I am. <3)

That doesn't really discount them from being absurdly powerful, legendary weaponst.

He could've just ordered his men to bring him the very best katanas Othard has to offer after he decided he wanted them as his weapon of choice.

Also, I'm remembering this now, but it sounds like they're using Nael van Darnus's theme, "Meteor," for Zenos. It's so underused I mistook it for a new arrangement of "Tempest" at first. Expecting good things from that boss fight now.

Having finally gotten the chance to watch it in Japanese, I'm pretty certain that - totally aside from the usual localization liberties - at least two lines are spoken by entirely different characters between it and the English version. Gosetsu's line about causes and battlefields is definitely occupied by a different character in Japanese, and I'm fairly certain the final line of the trailer is a different one as well. Is anybody whose Japanese is more at the FFXIV level able to give us a comparative analysis?

(I also want to say that "Tis better to bend with the wind than stand tall and be broken! Therein lies hope; therein lies freedom" is a different character too, but that's more my hope that that isn't Yotsuyu's actual English voice than anything else, as it's pretty obviously her in Japanese).
