FFXIV - Buried Memory (Poster)

[Theodric]

I like Lahabrea's design. It sort of reminds me of Geralt of Rivia.

Same. It's better than expected. Just hope the story is good and not more ancients bad/doomed twaddle/more Broken Aesop moments.

I do wonder if Athena is the driving force here rather than Laha, perhaps being behind whatever is overtaking the facility. Assuming the lower part of the image is deliberate design choices (and not like sticking Laha onto the Eden poster), his mask there is not a Convocation one. To me, the image is quite reminiscent of the model most commonly associated with him; I think it may be the red light just giving the impression of red hair. I could see it being whatever is in Pandaemonium tapping into the desires of his younger self - maybe even manipulating buried affection for Athena - and creating a twisted clone/simulacrum out of it, or even warping him temporarily to justify a fight with him at full power. The alternative of present timeline Laha somehow making it in there and bodyjacking a host isn't impossible (Ishikawa left some wiggle room for it here - note what she's saying about Hades and how that turned out) but given what happened to Hesperos, the former possibility makes more logical sense to me.

There's orbs around/behind the crazy redhead, but are they orbs or eyes?

[Tlamila]

I don't think the one at the bottom is a red-haired one, to me it just looks like the whole figure his under red light (to intensify the drama?), so could easily be white hair/just lahabea's evil reflection.

They don't look like eyes to me, they also all have different colors, which might just be an artist thing of the picture but it might also mean something.They're also buried in that mass I don't know what to amke of but...kinda looks like hair? I hope it's not.

"The Fell Court of Troia"

we're going to the void already?

> already
shoulda got there in 6.1 but the writing in this game has to drag crap out as long as possible.
We've BEEN to the void via the Mhach Raids already unless Dun Scaith is actually some ancient Eorzean city that...never comes up once in msq

[XiRon]

If Lahabrea battle isnt Emperor of Hell and his savage has Emperor of Heaven for the savage edition then who cares?
(The Emperors name in ff2 is Mateus and the esper Mateus is opposed by the scion of the gods Lahabrea in ff12)

WoL: "Calm down, just think about him without his mask on."
WoL: "OH NO HE'S HOT!"

I know right? I'm trying desperately to stick to my "I hate him with every fibre of my being and glad he became an aether snack for Thordan.." and yet, now... all I see is "The Most Interesting Man in the World crossed with Sean Connery."

First Emet and now Lahabrea. Damnit SE, stop making villians that I formerly loved to hate now just I love!

Dun Scaith from what I recall was an island refuge for the Mhachi people, though they never arrived due to the tragedy of the Void Ark.

I am surprised you bring up Dun Scaith and not World of Darkness, which is absolutely unequivocally the Void.

Heck, we even go there as a rdm quest.
