Thread: 5.1 Trailer

Oh boy the trailer has some nice little teasers....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhYvvfBY7p4&t=0s

Nier Raid seem to be set on the First relating to the Dwarf region.

More Garlean Empire story.

MSQ dialogue: "Instead of saving them, you risk damning them. Are you certain you want to take that risk?"

PS Alex Ultimate is almost here.

The devs know exactly which Alexander bosses people dreaded for this Ultimate it seems.

They make you think it's "just" Alexander and his mecha buddies you're dealing with...then they peace out and let Living Liquid come in to take the first jab at everyone.

.

Oh god they chose like the worse bosses besides living liquid lol

I don't know why...But this trailer just didn't excite me. Like...I actually have no interest in this and it makes me sad.

Not to mention a lot of what's shown probably won't even be released on the 29th and will be a half patch release. (5.11, 5.15, etc)

Not trying to be a negative nancy. Just kind of venting.

I don't know where you got that from...I did love the story. It was one of the best FF stories I've played in a VERY long time.

We're in the 'quiet period', I suppose. I don't expect anything utterly groundbreaking to happen until 5.3. 5.1 and 5.2 will be laying the groundwork for the finale of Shadowbringers and then 5.4 and 5.5 will be build up for 6.0. There will be intriguing elements across the board but the payoff will take some time to manifest, especially since each patch moves the story forward by a bit then ends with a teaser. That's how I see it, at any rate.

I somehow doubt the new fairy needs to be told and G'raha (and the others) seem to be pretty sure that the average person on the First is better off not knowing about them. I could see him telling Lyna since she's basically his family, and he really should tell her his origins at some point now that it doesn't have to be kept from her.

Since they mention a Nu Mou lives in the new dungeon, and said dungeon is called Grand Cosmos, there can be only one person. Ezel Berbier, from the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance games.

Please stop right there!* We don't need a second Haurchefant!

I hope SE and their writers don't even think of killing him. Repeatedly killing favourite characters in a story is a sign of very bad, uninspiring writting - and Ms Ishikawa hasn't given me the impression she would do it. Especially now that we can travel through space and time, killing him, instead of changing his fate like he changed ours -we do recall that part, right?- would be completely and utterly unacceptable.

[* Note: the yelling was not addressed to you, please don't take it personal. It is just that I find outrageous the possibility SE writers might kill him to cause emotional burst. G'raha deserves a happy ending story.]

On topic, I'm very glad he returns to the Trust system. Now, if they made him a regular like the Scions that would be something.

All in all, it was about time the story moved forward, I'm quite curious to see how it unfolds. I'm also curious and interested in the new Alliance raid.

Extreme and Ultimate are not for me, so my very best wishes to those who enjoy them and will attempt to be the first to succeed.
