Encyclopedia II - Discussion

The biggest revelation for me from the EE2 was that Asahi is older than Zenos.


Also, that scientist guy? He's dead, he's SO dead that they mention he's dead TWICE in the EE2. Both in the Garlean dominance of Ala Mhigo portion + his own character portrait.
Dist the Rose guy? DEAD. No, REALLY dead.

Which is a shame because he appears for like, a cutscene, gets into a battle, and then just like, slumps over.

...
Did I mention he's dead?

Feels like wasted potential to have killed him off, and honestly the end of the boss fight always left me feeling like we knocked him out rather than killing him, so it surprised me to hear he's dead as a doornail.

To be fair he had tubes going into his lower back attaching him to his chair; as soon as I related he was physically integrated into the conveyor it seemed more palatable....
Despite that though....
You know who got confirmed dead in EE1? Gaius van Baelsar.

The Encyclopedias are only written to the best of an Eorzean scholar's knowledge.

Indeed - and curiously, while his profile says he died, Livia and Rhitatyn's profiles on the same page talk about them in present tense with no mention of their deaths.

True, though I find it a lot less likely he'll come back. We see a body for him, and unlike the Praetorium, Ala Mhigo didn't explode to leave us with a reason for a body not to be found. I'm pretty sure he's legit dead.
