Thread: Patch 4.1 Trailer Discussion

I have been beyond happy with this trailer, my only complaint it's too short! Let's freak out frame by frame now...

Meeting Lolorito in the Waking Sands where a statue of the man is right outside is all too fitting. What could him and Nanamo be on about? Perhaps the coming instability in the Syndicate now that Raubahn's homeland is free what happens next for the sole Royalist?

"We the people" immediately conjures to mind what I suspect kind of government Raubahn will suggest. Arenvald continuing to be a Scion-in-Action in Ala Mhigo is nice.

Will Skalla feature in the MSQ? Eh, I don't think! The nightmarish Manticore and ridiculous portrait of a man call to mind Maduin for some reason unknown to me though.

The Echo scenes should be Lyse and Fordola whinging about an Ala Mhigo for all and give us some backstory for Fordola. The man protecting her seems to share the same tattoo. I feel with the woman looking on in verity gear while a man in verity gear protects her are her ... parents? Her father shielding her from the scorn and stones of other Ala Mhigans as they've enlisted her in Garlean education, probably wanting their daughter to have a better life.

Recreation of Raubahn winning his seat on the Syndicate! Yess!! Is this truly what you want Father? FOR ME TO BECOME THE NEXT FLAME GENERAL?

Every shot of Unending Coil shows a dead player, lol. They really expect it to be difficult! (Including the party being chained to the dead player before Teraflare, yikes)

What the hell is going on in the Throne Room? (I speak for the Resistance sounds so much like a Lorax "I speak for the trees" here Lyse) That the Qiqirn are represented gives me hope we'll see them in coming Beast Tribe dailies finally. Fordola has an Echo vision... perhaps the Resosnant will show us the Future!? It very much sounds like a Primal and Tempering occurs... but which? Our new "shield others" technique getting use with Arenvald's help though I wouldn't write too much on the Blue Flames being another Lakshmi.

Rival Wings looks exciting and I enjoy that it's "training exercises against Machina for battles vs Garlemald" Obviously we're prepping for a foray to Ilsabard!?

The clawed hand holding what looks auracite engraved with the Taurus symbol while Trisection plays and we fight Hashmal and Mateus and Ba'Gamnan!? Who is the man in the Sharlayan coat kidnapped by Bangaa we rescue who speaks to Ramza and this redhead? They've melded the different eras of Ivalice well so far, but this man ... Arazlam? Dycedarg? Some likely new character!?

Taurus matches with ... Chaos, I think for Ivalice Espers--I wonder if Keita's charioteer is XIV's rendition of Chaos? Truthfully I'd be a little letdown though, lol. Chariot, Hashmal, Mateus is only 3 bosses, unless Ba'Gamnan is the 4th, this'd be the first time we didn't see every 24-man boss in the preview, I think. To go from massive Espers to some Bangaa would be kind of a letdown, though lol. Original Lucavi names would be very nice, Duma, yes but then we run into the issue of the Pisces Leviathan. Considering Leviathan's already dubious relationship with Thalaos, maaaaaaaaannnnnnnn
