Thread: The Patch 5.2 Discussion Thread! (Spoilers)

I have many question but only ONE will is the most important....



Will that Laser Rocket Launcher be a Machinist skill?!

Other than that it seems the Job Role Quests will be playing very important roles in the MSQ as so far it seems each 5.X MSQ will involve someone who play a part in the Job Role Quest with this 5.2 involving Granson now.

I am also curious if we will get to see and meet the Pilot of the Weapons as this new Chronicle Saga is a important Side-story to the MSQ showing Gaius and the War on the Source side of the MSQ events. (even though it is a optional Quest Saga)

It is a IMPORTANT part of the MSQ storyline (while optional if players choose to just skip it) being the War progress side of the story since it seems the Garlean are still fighting even with Civil War happening in their homeland. I can only assume the Weapons are their last attempt to turn the War in their favor as quickly as possible and if they fail with them they will lose the war due to not being able to continue due to the Civil War happening in their homeland. Still no matter what players choose it seem the Weapon Saga will happen but the only difference will be if WoL was there to aid with stopping the Weapons or Gaius did it without WoL's help.

- Ryne is present alongside Cid on what appears to be the Source.
- The imagery of Hydaelyn looks to be rather creepy and sinister!

I suspect they found a way to bring them back to the Source this MSQ and a side effect is Ryne joining them.

Could it not just be a play on how Emet-Selch himself said of Elidibus that he seldom errs?

I don't remember what he sounds like... he's currently possessing Ardbert, so he's shed whichever host he was using on the Source prior to Zenos. It's hard to pin it down since it changes along with the host.

On one side is a person wielding a staff with wings and is notably black, while the other has a white face. Could this be Zodiark and Hydaelyn? Also they seem to be in a circle, so maybe its the moon?

I think it's just one, at least based on this when you zoom in more.
