Thread: Revelations from Patch 4.56

Regarding the part 2 in general

I think that if they want to have part 2 of x.5 patches of this lenght they need to accompany them with a trial or something and not a solo trial. The story wasn't long enough and honestly the setup from the part 1 warranted a bigger and more meaningful fight, I know that most mechanics in the actual solo fight are repeat of nabriales+zenos but if they can recycle greg mechanics and put a new spin on it (which I believe it's something they are capable off now thanks to ultimate as a training) I think they can find the time to do it for MSQ.
Also we got to play with 3 losers which I believe they'll be sitting for this expansion to recover for their defeat, while the real fight Estinien vs Zenos was done offscreen -.-
As for the content of the story.
When they mentioned the first at fanfest I wasn't sold on it, the story was verging towards Garlemand and the first felt very random, this is reflected in what the MSQ tells us (which moose made a funny joke that I think fits very well)the reason for us to go to the first comes out of nowhere and it's not even nearly a reason, nothing was explained and it's essentially a tease for the story of the expansion. Granted Othard was also just as random but I feel that Gosetsu helped the transition much better since you know it gave a hint, we can argue that the voice have been an hint but a little window to this future, to this ineluttable fate which makes the result of the fight pointless unless we fix the first, it would've at least gave us some kind of stakes to the fight

As for the miscellanea

Not much to say execpt 1 thing the fact that both quest had in common Kugane castle as a story point, it made in my opinion the stories much more grounded in the world giving more hooks to the world, which is a good thing in my opinion.
However Yet again nothing of value for the anantas, which is extremely sad for me, they've been the most undervalued beast tribe in the whole game, their reputation wasn't even theirs and the rapresentative of them was captive for 2/3 of the quest. Oh well
