Thread: Predictions from the Patch 6.2 Trailer & Patch Website

Maybe I am reading too much into this but shouldnt Athene have a darker skin since her son has one?

The transition between the calm Lahabrea and the evil one was awesome. I really wonder how Themis will react to seeing him like that.

Curious about the new reaper and what her fate will be at the end.

Something I've seen people bring up is that back in May, someone pitch-shifted Zenos' avatar's lines in 6.1 to try to find the original speaking voice. Which is difficult because we don't know their voice actor, but they got something.

And that something is pretty much bang-on the sound of that woman speaking in the trailer. So it sounds like we might 'fix' her and she becomes the Reaper that's fighting Scarmiglione alongside us, perhaps; they seem to be wielding the same scythe (although it's the default Reaper scythe, so that might mean little).

Which would be fine by me, the alternative of 'eat their soul to consume their power' seems both exceptionally morally wrong and VERY boring. She also doesn't look like a default create-a-character, so there's that, too.

I'm assuming Varshahn/Vrtra is taking G'raha's place as an all-rounder option for the 6.2 trust using an aged-up vessel, since he's shown both as a DRG and PLD in different portions.

Yeah, it looked like Estinien was just saying it to some flying monsters is all. It's definitely a Kain reference but doesn't seem to be the exact scenario.

It could be that either our enemies are feeling and think that we can't chase them as we don't seem to be able to fly. Or something else is happening. I do wonder who the red haired lady with the snake thing is that has also those green vines wrapping around her and through the eye sockets of her mask are. Not seen in the trailer but in a screen shot on the special site. Also I'm pretty certain that messed up tree boss is how you get an Exdeath situation. Or maybe that's what happens to the lady with the vines as there is a woman's body grafted/molded into the many eyed tree boss.

Looks like the Abyssos line-up is:
P5: Proto-carbuncle
P6: Spider hemitheos (Arachne?)
P7: (Moira) Tree hemitheos (Athena?)
P8: Lahabrea

I’m surprised that they went with the FFIV boss theme instead of the Four Fiends theme. I’m sure we’ll fight Scarmiglione twice, but whether that’s twice inside the Fell Court dungeon or a second time as a trial remains to be seen. The Troia remix was great.

I'd expect P8 to be something less obvious than that. They wouldn't show their hand that quickly.

That tree looks specifically like an Olive tree, if you look at the leaves. The same tree, you might recall, carries a special significance to the Athenians.

I don't think that they'd pass up an opportunity for a showdown with the Speaker of the Convocation at the height of his powers, especially after they did such a magnificent job with Loghrif's time-space magic in E12S. Lahabrea may well have been the most formidable of the big three in his prime even despite Emet's raw aether reserves, which is why they likely specifically went back to redo his Praetorium fight. And no fight short of a two-part Savage finale is ever going to do him justice. I think that he's more likely to be fought in P8 than in P12, though, because I suspect that this tale is going to be about bringing his soul to peace with whatever happened down there. Which is probably where Claudien and the stone in the present comes in.

There's plenty of room for surprises around the circumstances of that fight, though, be it in terms of Eric or Athena. I wouldn't be surprised if things go horribly awry at the end of P8 just in time for the 8 month cliffhanger.
