Crystal Tower theories

[Iscah]

"Gates" just seems an odd choice of words (at least now it's pointed out) - the tower is sealed with what I would consider doors, not gates, and he uses that word in other places in that scene.

...but then again, going back to the scene in Syrcus Tower where they first open it, it's consistently called a gate there. So perhaps a red herring after all.

Here's where I found the minion shot (not my image). The Rauhban pin on the right is using official art as seen in The Art of Eorzea -Another Dawn- (p. 187), and you can see wind-up Sadu off to the left, so I'm assuming G'raha is official as well, but I'm missing a lot of context.

Still want one either way. :P

As an equal-opportunity pot stirrer, I can totally get behind that it's G'raha just to tie off a loose end and make a rather specific demographic niche of the fanbase happy (as like 100% of the feedback I've seen on him falls either directly on "he has the most punchable face" or "G'RAHA MY SWEET BOY I MISS YOU SO"), but they could at least point out that G'raha and the hooded man share a taste in color schemes.

[Fenral]

It's pretty much the first thing I pointed out, actually. :P



And I'd pretty much want to punch him and kiss him in either order. There's crap you just don't pull, man.

In german its "Auch wenn dafür die Geschichte selbst umgeschrieben werden muss" which means basically the same, to re-write history.

I just rewatched the trailer, and I noticed something at the end when Derplander becomes the Warrior of Darkness: a structure very similar to the Voidgate from the Syrcus Tower is behind him....

[Crushnight]

just wanted to add during omega storyline in alphascape Cid looks back on past events including the crystal tower and G'raha Tia this is during talk with Nero about his father, lots of G'raha signs late in the expansion

i doubt we'd get time compression, with how 14 pulls things from other games in the series lore we'd be looking towards ff8...

but with gunblade tank man in the works who knows, i'd be amazed if they kept that sorta secret on lock and would lose my mind if the empire is some sorta crazy esthar setup in the end and we go in guns blazing on a garden

I saw it too! At first I thought it was just a cool background but more I looked the more it looked like a portal.

How suspicious should we be that it's not just a lingering slice in the Flood of Light from where the Warrior of Darkness just hit True Kuribu?
I thought those were connected.
