Gamescom 2019 Q&A (rough transcript)

[Lilseph]

I really want to dive in deeper into the Ascians' past, specially Lahabrea who died without having the development he deserved imo. They did mention recently that soon we'll see the other side of the story though and I can't wait to witness how the rest of the MSQ unfolds.

Lol only lore questions.

Lol only lore questions.

Yeah, and?

We knew it was going to be a lore Q&A the moment they announced it was Banri Oda, back on August 5th.

It was all story questions... i thought there were going to be 4.1 announcements at gamescom...

Possible we will get some hints/initial announcements of any upcoming features for 5.1, if there are any, during TGS. More likely things 5.1 related will come with the next Live Letter.

Lol only lore questions.

What a shocker and insult that a lore Lore Q&A answers actual lore questions! Call the internet police, Sherlock Holmes.

[Ceasaria]

Lahabrea will maybe reappear in flashback or in some form in the story I guess.

[Avidria]

Thanks for posting! Can't wait for more of that sweet sweet lore...

Whilst there were a lot of healer questions and ones I'm hoping get answered, although they never explicitly asked for lore stuff or said that's what they're talking about, I figured with it being with Banri Oda, it'd only be a slim chance. Either way, hope it at least brings further attention to them even if they weren't addressed this time around.
