Thread: The Patch 5.2 Discussion Thread! (Spoilers)

I remember how a long while back Elidibus told us that if we knew the truth, we wouldn't oppose the Ascians.

I can't help but wonder if he's decided to go back to that matter now that things have started to spiral out of his control and Emet Selch has already told us some of the story behind the Ancients. It would certainly help explain the weirdness that seems to be occurring at the Crystarium, moreso if he's the one controlling Ardbert's body like some suspect.

I'm expecting him to put on a big show to get our attention then goad us into going to Akademia Aynder to see his "truth" for ourselves.

The interviews here are also well worth reading, with the Discord link covering the translations in greater depth. I'm very intrigued to see how this is going to shape up, with Elidibus's symbol on the background crystal/the crystal itself apparently having significance for 5.3, and his Emissary role being handled as a "mediator". The crystal looks dark-aspected on top (whilst also depicting Dalamud) and light-aspected from below (maybe the full image would show something to do with the starstorm?), and he is "fluid of stance".

I'm glad to see the MSQ, Eden and Werlyt stuff will all be tied together, and I'm very eager to see where they take Elidibus and how they handle Gaius.

Also, I'm still not sure what the context behind the mosaic we saw is, but having taken another look at her, it is very consistent with the High Seraph. I forgot all about the little insect legs. There's a difference in how the two figures are positioned/interacting, but overall the resemblance is strong.







She was a figure I wanted to learn more about, so if this is all correct, I'm curious to see what more might be revealed about her, especially seeing as the Ivalice quest line will tie into the 5.25 relic stuff.

I want to play dress up now with my great serpent of Ronka!!!!
