Characters in the First, wishlist?

[EvalcieChevallier]

So many great story characters were killed off after a few appearances, who would you like to see living on the First and why?

Ysayle Dangoulain
Moenbryda Wilfsunnwyn

are my two favs, though Tsuyu was amazing. It seems like they kill off women willy nilly rather than given them a "Yda" exit where she lives on (as Lyse)

The first is not a Mirror world.

This has been said so many times, yet people insist it is.

The first was one of many shards that broke off ten thousand years ago. From there, the shards, including the first took drastic changes. There would be no Ysayle or Moenbryda in the first, the shards/source are completely different.

why must you crush my dreams?

why must you crush my dreams?

People asked me this when I co-created The Balance Discord.

I simply respond with: Because I like the noise crushing dreams makes.

So you're saying... we won't get an alternate universe Hildibrand?

Nope, rather we get the same one who probably fell to the First alongside Nashu after being caught in that warphole.

Gamer Escape: In the launch trailer, The Warrior of Light is talking to an NPC when he arrives on The First who looks like the NPC that we encounter when we first started A Realm Reborn (Brendt, Brennan, and Bremondt). Is this an Easter egg? Or is this something more?

Naoki Yoshida: This NPC doesn’t tie in closely to the narrative per se, but it is something that is in there to maintain a sense of consistency in your adventures. As you know, the world was shattered into 14 different shards, including The Source, about 10,000 years ago. When the world split into the different shards, because it was based off the same ether, each is a similar realm. So there may be a possibility that certain people, while not exactly replicated, will look similar on the different realms. We wanted to depict that in a easily recognizable form. So, as we’re starting this new adventure in Shadowbringers, we had this NPC show up. This was something that we wanted to incorporate as a reminder that while, yes, we are starting this new important quest, also, “hey look”, there they are again. So it was deliberate in that way.

So, while they may look similar, they are not exactly the same person who follows the same path. Their fate may be different in the different realms. We wanted to depict that aspect of it as well. You will probably encounter other similar situations with other characters that you come in contact with throughout the story.

In order to become what we must...

Then there could be many Ysayles and Moenbrydas!

I wish that this doesn't spoil anyone.

If it was a mirror world then everything would be the same. If everything was the same there would be no expansion. They'd just get the ARR MSQ, copy+paste it and call it "Waking Sand Bringers".

History can trace huge amounts of the population back to one person. Events have transpired very differently and the Ascians have most likely interfered differently there, so the same children were not had and not named the same. Those children did not breed a tree of millions of people.
