Thread: Creepy possibility... [4.3 spoilers]

So after the recent MSQ revelation about

Elezenos, I wonder if he was an NPC in Rhalgr's Reach/Porta Praetoria/Ala Mhigo at any point?

That's exactly how that helmet looks on any Elezen.

Try rewatching cutscenes at an inn? Might be something in those.

It's not that guy either, or at least he certainly doesn't have the same character model. (Though he certainly seems like a plot thread that was left hanging.)

I've been using the Garland Tools NPC database to check these, by the way. It lists the exact character design settings for each NPC. The "Katana-wielding soldier" is listed in the first unlabeled 'no location' tab (which seems to be for cutscene characters) and anyone else can be looked up by the location(s) where they are found.

(That said, it's not 100% reliable for 'hidden details' or customised character designs, and characters occasionally get redesigned - eg. Estinien-the-dragoon actually has a different face design to how he looks in Stormblood - but it's useful for just comparing character models.)

I'm pretty sure the dialog toward the end of the quest noted that that scientist was executed, despite his mental regression. So, not really a hanging thread. No "Tsuyu" treatment for him, it seems!

In regards to Elezenos, I did appreciate the unexpected callback to the Sahagin chieftain, who used the Echo to body-surf. Seems the Resonance can do the same thing, even if Zenos didn't explicitly intend it!

I do remember them saying that. It seemed unfair at the time and yes, even more so in light of how Yotsuyu was handled. Though perhaps my character's discomfort with how that was handled is exactly why she wants to see Tsuyu given a better chance.
