Trailer Theory

[TabrisOmbrelame]

Your theory of Vessel seems pretty odd to me. I mean, If it's the Ascien that do it for getting us out of the way, why didn't they do that from the beginning ?

In my opinion, the main story will take somewhat a Space-time way, by going through a new world, or going back in the time.

But, with the new map that have been shown we can't be sure. Rak'tika Great wood seems to have a Viera village in it, So Ivalice/Dalmasca will be our next destination ?

To stay in the theme of Map, we got 2 new destination on each Expansion
HW was Dravania and Abalathia
SB was Othard and Gyr Abania

So Shadowbringer will give us Ivalice/Dalmasca and ???

Don't forget that travelling in the time can destroy the entire universe. Imagine if you kill, for exemple, Hien before the war of Doma. People of Doma won't oppose Garlemald and immediatly attack you even if you try to make things for them. History became impossible to complete, thus creating a Paradox where you never reached the point of history where you need to go back through time.

So going through a new world seems to be a good option. But beside the reincarnation, I still can't explain why Minfillia is here.

So another theory appear, We are going in a world where the time is not the same as us, and where Darkness almost never appear. And look in the Eyes of Minfilia, for me it's not Minfilia, but Hydaelyn it self ! Minfilia don't have eyes like that in normal, Only the version posseded by Hydaelyn possess it.

Too many question are still there, and without the little puzzle piece missing we can't make everything look smooth. Maybe the 4.55 will open a new possibilities.

Maybe not so much a vessel, but somehow transported into another body. Maybe even swapped. The Ascians could possibly do it, yes, but it defeats their end goal with the Source world. There might be another entity that is capable of doing it to the WoL. Perhaps the voice we're hearing before the Scions pass out. It may already be at work transporting the Scions where they need to be; to set the stage.

You mentioned new zones. While Rak'tika does seem to be part of Dalmasca, it could very well be another place. They hinted that a beast tribe lived up in the canopy, but didn't specify which beast tribe. So it could go either way. The other new zone (name eludes me), the Fairy's home, looks very peculiar with streams of light shining through the clouds. The same streams of light in the trailer when light-based monsters are shown. Perhaps this is the First world, bathed in light, as it would be.

The story could very well be split between both worlds. Perhaps that's what they were experimenting with when they let us play as Alphinaud.
