We know PLD is poster boy for this expac but I don't doubt the new job will be showcased too.
I mean, unless it goes limited.
Whatever the job is Im mostly sure Zenos is gonna be repping it
Full trailer will probably have him show off a bit.
you think these guys could be a beast tribe in 6.0
Looks like some kind of Ixali to me
thats just a giant mask
SE 'usually' makes 1 of the beast tribes cutesy, (Moogles, Namasu, Dwarves) for plush marketing purposes. Usually the crafter beast tribe. Because of this i fully expect the beast tribe on the moon to be the PuPu and not the Lunarians
Poopoo 😌🤪🤪🤪
dwarves
"Hey, you! Honorless lout! Half-empty flagon! Mangy pox-bearer! Your mother was a hob and your face looks like a newborn's arse!"
Very cute /s
Have u seen the Lali-ho animations?
I mean. You're gonna say cute...
AND IGNORE THE CANDYLAND of the faries
Tell me that isn't the cute tribe of this expac
Where you unlock a SLIDE
AND PLAYGROUND
ok include Fae in that list then. my point is expect one of the 2 unknown beast tribes to be cutesy.
My guess is PuPu
Lunarians arent a beast tribe their just human looking aliens.
Agreed. But people were saying Lunarians during the event
Hummingway on the other hand
Because people dont know what the fuck the bunnies are called
Canonically hummingway live on the moon in 14
If minion descriptions are canon
Oh. Never heard of 'em.
They are from FFIV so I expect that they are one of the beast tribes then
With 1 of their people naminway traveling to earth
pity. I wanted PuPu
!minion namingway
While it is whispered that this cheerful vagrant is the sole surviving member of a tribe hailing from none other than the moon, most see Namingway for who he is─a queer fellow with a penchant for giving all he meets absurd nicknames then jotting them down in his mysterious journal.

Also when yoshida and koji talked about what we would find on the moon
They both jokingly made nods to rabbits/bunnies
Which is a common folklore/mythological thing
Of rabbits living on the moon
But hey I'd be happy to be wrong sne have it be misdirection
Even tho hummingway are like
My version of moogles
Cause I think their really cute
And I don't own EE1 and having a beast tribe to get a alternative minion
only if its a two seater and the second seat is us "abductingfloating another user away"
abduction plays that silly "spinning fall" animation
constant upskirting 
''a tribe'' implying there is more then one tribe of them up there
smol lunar bun
So for 6.0 we only have the artist of FFX right?
Would love more lore involvement
FFX lore was amazing
Imo Aeons are more grasping a concept than Primals
Where one is actual souls of people who sacrificed themselves and Primals being just faith and aether. Although Zodiark and Hydaelyn fits the bill
Really?
I thought he joined in 6.0?
Hence the zones having a lot of FFX vibes
i'll have to rrewatch that part but pretty sure he said so
Same
My favourite will always be the part where Koji goes “Yoshi P? Yoshi P??” And points to his new shirt lol
How many countries/cultures have rabbits on the moon?
Is that just an Asian culture thing?
It’s a Chinese then Japanese thing
Although the story doesn’t say the rabbit is from the moon
Rather it was a regular rabbit who was sent to the moon and became immortal
So maybe, a faction of viera who was sent up by allagan?
Mochi making rabbit
- The Jade Emperor disguised himself into a poor, starving old man and begged for food from monkey, otter, jackal, and rabbit. Monkey gathered fruit from the trees, and otter gathered fish from the river. Jackal stole a lizard and a pot of milk curds. Rabbit though, could only gather grass. Knowing well enough that grass can’t be offered as food to humans, rabbit decided to offer its own body, sacrificing itself in the fire the man had started. Somehow, though, rabbit wasn’t burned. The old man suddenly revealed himself to be the great Jade Emperor! Touched deeply by rabbit's selfless sacrifice, he sent it to the moon to become the immortal Jade Rabbit.
That’s the story
They may be a gathering beast tribe
Jackal stole a lizard
idk why but that made me laugh
Jackals and foxes are normally seen as cunning/mischievous entities in East
Hey uh
What if Lyon's haircut description is a hint for the new job ?
Look at this
Does it use a scythe?
At this point, everything in this game have Allagan influence
My problem isn't with Allagans doing stuff on the moon
It doesn't use a scythe sadly
But the class can use a various range of weap
Including 1-h axe and shield
So I'm wondering if it doesn't hint Beastmaster as a limited job or the new job itself not being the Beastmaster but heavily linked to the Vartans
We also know that both Bash and Noah van Gabranth are referred to as "Knights" at least in the French version of the game
It's more "Allagans.", In the same vein of the aliens guy isn't it?
The ties between the father, the son, the 4th Legion and Solus could be a reason why Zenos is leaving the katana behind him to adopt the style of the close friends of his grandfather ?
No it's with the dumb idea of moon Viera
Viera mooning people, sure
Double swords
Im pretty sure he doesn't care about his granddad's friends. He wants to get stronk for his date with WoL so whatever seems to him more efficient, he'll do
Fandaniel and his buddies are a means to an end, that is, they get WoL's attention
Zenos uwu
Someone should just convince Zenos to get on the WoL's side and he'll gladly have a match with Zenos until one of them die and then come back to life a moment later with the echo
yes is know that but consider this for a second.
"I'll be there if you need me" could also be a reference to Emet/Hadès as he saves us when Elidibus traps us in his ascian dimension
To me, it his heavily linked but again, it's my personal point of view
imagine if Emet wasn't actually dead, he just revived in one of his clone bodies after we off him in the First
and when we call him he's like "ah shit gotta answer the summons"
pop back in, saves us when we need help from Elidibus, then leaves so he can finally have some peace of mind until we call him again in EW
Oh I definitely think they're gonna play up the heritage angle. Zagreus was the son of Hades in mythos and had a lot to do with hunting. But it wont be because Zenos does it on purpose
He was also dismembered and reborn at some point so take that as you will.
Ooh, Zagreus? He's a babe.
He is pretty, yes
dansgame
Just wondering. the thing on the title. is that a space ship to the moon?
Nah not Mhachi
It's a giant 3D Dorito chip
It's actually just a tilted view of the first tomestone of 6.0
lmao
I do wonder how long its gonna be before we get a mount like that
Surfing through the sky on a giant tomestone
If emet is alive im gonna be annoyed
Zenos at least had the reasoning of the resonant
Emet got bodied by white auracite stay in the ground grandpa
I didnt summon this cool axe for nothing
Cait sith is already in ff14. He shows up in the heavensward 24 man raid
Emet is technically still alive
In our hearts.
I mean he’s just vibing in the lifestream
Wow I almost appear topless in the Pacifists armor
We'll probably get stuff|| through our new crystal. But I think outside of trying to stop the Final Days, the guy may just want to nap in the Lifestream for the time being||
The undershirt cover almost blends with my skin tone
||I wouldnt blame him honestly either, if I could just nap in some unreachable place unbothered I would too.||
we didn't get that until 5.3, the last patch about that expansion
we didn't really get anything in the rest of the expansion
||I meant in terms of "if theres anything left to say from this character. Sorry, I run off sometimes and don't bother to be clear||
It has an undershirt?
On female characters
oh there's bunnies on the moon.
Just not those bunbuns.
Right
Did he?
Or did he grab it, yeet dark energy into it, and explode it?

well
you see
if they bring him back in a meaningful way i guess i wouldnt mind too much
That's news to me, too.
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/tales_from_the_shadows/sidestory_07/ seriously, carefully read the poem.
i really need to replay this shit
The poem takes place after Seat of Sacrifice, and refers to Elidibus's fall.
The last two couplets make his intent very clear.
And the line about 'brothers' ' is how you know it's after Elidibus.
The White Auarcite hurt him pretty badly
yeah ur right
Enough to stun him
when was this posted?
Yeah but it never trapped him.
well i guess after 5.3
Just after SoS
hmm
I can see what you mean.
If the soul ain't trapped, the ascian ain't clapped
what did you mean by bring him back again tho?
We pluck him out from his nap
or do u mean when he appeared to free us from the rift
Well, cause he came back once already during SoS itself.
ah right
I'll take 'things you can't do if they've been soul trapped and destroyed' for 500, Alex.
Yeah but getting out of CT is pretty much a no-go
true
BUT
Emet-Selch was pretty careful to never antagonize anyone inside the tower
Nothing says he can't be released, untempered, and possibly redeemed.
Emet knows how it works.
he didn't think of the consequences the tower could hold over him
he's trapped in CT
I think Elidibus thought he had full control over the tower, was expecting to be successful
when we 'killed' him his sparkly bits flew up into it and went in, so to speak
Why? Because if he's just trapped will will say there's a chance he can escape. And I don't want that.
puts on the tinfoil hat
well fair
idk how they'd bring back elidibus in a way that'll be like "woa"
and i dont want them to even if they could find a way
cuz his final words in 5.3 was pretty good
We'll work with that as a base assumption--and we're learning how to untemper, yes yes?
cant wait to use that weird computer in eden to remember emet and bring him back 
Emet's untempered now--he might actualyl want to undo the remaining Ascian's tempering, and restore their autonomy.
or you know emet clones in Garlemald
He's said he's ready for an encore.
He's said he's willing to give death--pause.
but i dont like the whole thing of "oh ur dead? not anymore"
i understand that we never truly killed him lore wise but its kinda snooze
What rule is that
but like i said if they make it work then im for it
Blame William the conquerer.
Yeah, that's that's how the word entered the english language. Eventually some dialects respelled it theater.

ah, french
cant wait for them to kill a scion off for real in 6.0 and we spend the whole thing going "But they're gonna come back right" and then we finish 6.0, realise theyre dead for real and just kinda sit there cuz the emotional moment was ruined by expecting a Yshtola for the third time

BUt yeah, they established hard rules for how ascians can be successfully killed, and how they cannot. If their soul is trapped, and then yeeted, they die. If their soul is not trapped, or eaten, or whatever, then they come back. This was the major plot arc of ARR, after all.
fair enough
Ysthola uses the flow spell again
man fuck yshtola. bring back papalymo
If Emet dies, all the rules are broken, because his soul was not trapped successfully. He not only got out, but engulfed everyone in darkness after.
This actually might happen lol
Idk dude. It looked like Emet Selch's soul sustained too much damage
Given they never show his soul, that's debateable.
He had a gaping hole in his soul. Not body
Also he came back
yeah we either get "no one dies" or "someone dies but everyone thinks its a prank cuz they didn't kill off yshtola"
Was it? Souls of ascians usually have a more spherical shape.
The shape is probably old habit by now
any 🟣s in chat
His first phase was his body transformed, the second phase is soul transformed
And it's impossible to argue he can't come back.
'Emet can't come back'
snaps, brings people back, turns, waves
in the story he's saying 'im not gonna die yet cuz i wanna see more and what happens next'
aka encore
He discarded this body when he yelled "I AM STIFLED BY THIS FLESH" and stabs himself with his crystal rod cause he's suuuuch a drama queen.
let's be real, Emet is probably chilling because he wants to take a break
Yes, but he's not trapped.
but
His soul was not trapped
ascians can jump bodies
the only way to kill an ascian is with white auracite
He comes back in 5.3 albeit briefly
That's enough to untemper him
Well, primal can eat them, or they can be yeeted bodily into the Aetherial Sea... there's a couple ways.
No in 5.0 he was straight up trying to kill us
into the aetherial sea?
But now he's untempered
huh I interpreted the final fight differently
Emet's complicated in 5.0, but now he's untempered, and his soul wasn't destroyed, so....
he was testing us to see if we could hold the power of all 4 lightwardens without turning into one but we failed so he had no more use for us
Oh God he's really coming back isn't he
yeah but we succeeded after
Cause that's the whole point of white auracite, we're not trying to kill their body, we're trying to -destroy their soul- so they don't do that whole 'coming back' thing their souls can do
Then he tried to kill us
yes
I thought you meant the final battle was a test as well
but only after we 'failed'
My bad
Yeah, but he'll be untempered, and on our side (his allegience is clear now)
I think we'll get a moment of benevolent interference because no matter how tempered they are the Unsundered certainly didn't want the world blown up from the very thing that nearly extincted the place before. But I do think he's ready to at least have a good lifestream rest.
my knowledge of lore is very half-assed
can emet come and bitch slap fandaniel then die
thanks
Oh no, he's definately untempered--his poem also mentions that.
I would accept this
And what strength I have's mine own
this line?
And all his charms are o'er thrown
and the one aboev
yea
so he's just taking a big snooze and recollecting his strength
He's not done. He's got something to live for.
our victory?
Yeah because if Fancy Daniel kills the planet, what was it all for?
That's actually the indication of his character change. As an Ascian, he just wanted to die, but Elidibus kept pulling him back.
i see
Our success--he's putting his faith in us, and willing to see it through.
Dillybus
pog
and when we screw up again and end up calling on him
Honestly I just want him to verbally bitchslap Zenos
same
Who doesn't want to see those two verbally spar?
he'll be like " sigh I expected better. fixes issue, sassy wave and leaves again"
'I will kill you, old man for getting in the way of my prey' 'How many times do I need to tell my family that it merely annoys me when they try?'
It's just 6 weeks, we got this
also, what about Loghrif and Mitron?
we don't talk about them
I think Mitron would come right around after a Lifestream snooze
wait, two new scions for EW?
It’s a joke
One I’m not opposed to coming to fruition
I dont know about Gaius. He still believes in the empire but its currently being Mordorfied. He may not want to join in favor of trying to lead whats left of his people
will they also have white hair
That’s almost an unspoken requirement
I feel like ascians coming back through the reincarnation loop and living basic lives a la Gaia’s situation would be the best outcome
This is probably the best for everyone
Who knows? The rest of the sundered ones will probably take exception to whats happening too so unexpected assistance, perhaps
Hm...
'I don't want to join the scions'
"FINE I WILL"
You either join willingly or our resident lalas will drag you back
Krile and Tataru's capacity for blackmail is deeper than the Antitower

I want to know how they found Estinien
"Estinien. You will help us or we will tell everyone about your diary entries."
The smell, they just want Estinien to think it's strange lalafellen witchcraft.
not hard to find a stinky nidoink
I feel like zenos dreams of the final days are connected with endwalker.
Maybe we will get some interresting reveal about who he was presundering.
sweet
Friendwalker
No wait I realized I said something wrong
i was watching mrhappy talking about the possible job changes and adjustments for all of the classes and he's worried that yoshi p would mess up black mage
he suggested that blm could have a trait where fire ii and blizzard ii upgrades to freeze and flare
but flare cost all mp while fire ii doesn't
That makes no sense
and yoshi p mains blm so i imagine he has an idea on how to adjust blm

yeah that might not work...
blizzard ii and fire ii are there just for a temp aoe rotation until freeze and flare
well blizzard ii is worthless after freeze but fire ii needs to be around until 68 where you unlock the umbral hearts thing with flare
Just remove them
You will want to read the interviews. I suggest you start from scurrying through #translations-and-liveletters
BLM is hella tight, the only thing i dont like about the job is despair. It feels very tacked on
You will find out that Yoshida is likely no longer involved in the direction of battle content. This may extend to job balances as well UNLESS it's extremely important to rope in YoshiP in decision making.
Basically, all the decision making lies in the head of the team itself.
ah
Battle Content wise, it'll be all on Masaki Nakagawa, or Mr.Ozma as his nickname.
Likely Job Balance will have another team all together.
They will be the one doing the adjustments and decide on how the job goes. Not Yoshida.
Right, but was Yoshi involved in that aspect of the game previously?
only for really important decisions
Roping in the team for discussion, yes
Yoshida laying out the overall direction, yes
but the direction of how the job goes, no
Ok
which makes mrhappy's thought that yoshi p would mess it up is wrong
so just ut faith in mr ozma
The takeaway is that the balance team might mess it up, not that yoshi p would directly do so
This ensure the team will have full creative control on the jobs and Yoshida did indeed mention in one of the Famitsu interviews that he doesn't want to restrict their creativity, at least on the battle content side, but applicable to job balances as well.
Battle Content Team is spearheaded by Masaki Nakagawa, yes. Battle Job Team I don't know
then he should be more clear who it means.
remember not everyone knows theres a actual battle team behind this game xD
Most likely Yokozawa? I'm not too sure.
Bleh. People need to be aware of what the point of a sentance actually is.
YoshiP no longer direct the team and tell them what to do because he believe the team has progressed enough for him to not being bossy anymore.
It's not 'blame yoshi p cause he fucks up' it's 'I'm afraid this might be fucked up.' We often use 'Yoshi P' or 'SE" as a metonymy for 'the people who dev this particular thing'
if people actually did then the stress and stupidity would'nt be so bad i guess
so he has huge enough faith on the team
faith is good
Yoshida however will STILL participate in playtesting
That's the only time he will be giving feedbacks and the team will adjust accordingly
If he doesn't say anything it means an approval.
yoshi p can literally say "no, this is bad, change it"
and they can change it.
but that depends on the resources and time they have
So TL;DR
"You do your own thing. I'll just look on the final checks and see if it passes me. If yes, congrats, move on to the next task"
There's lots of things where Yoshi P's just set guideposts and decisions premade and trusts the team to follow through without micromanagement.
you mean, micro-micro-managment?
No, just micromanagement.
Someone should tell yoshida his dev team for 5.4 patch content was to mean to Black Mages
that's why they're making him a Trust this expansion

OH MAN THAT PIXEL HAIR
someone say mr. ozma
You think he going to be a scion
damn mr happy being wrong? that only happens on day that end in day
hammer job
mr happy (new) pagos video, approx 8 mins in, he makes a big mistake saying that not stunning the minotaur nm makes exp go up. it does not, it is factually incorrect.
i mean why make a claim without fact checking it
like its a really weird thing to claim without fact checking
almost all his videos are just poorly fact checked and half the time when you see an entire community doing something dumb, thats where it came from
A lot of content creators do that. And even when a content creator doesnt do something the community still does dumb things
so its dumb to say that
just because multiple people do it doesn't make it any less bad
iirc this is what happened with O11, the Omega fight
Yoshida said "this fight doesn't feel like I'm fighting Omega"
so they started over
then say its multiple people instead of blaming one person
like mr happy isn't the only one, or perhaps even the worst one, but he is the most popular one
on youtube maybe
i made one claim about one person
happy is still pretty popular
but not the most popular
the algorithm seems to favour him
i always see xeno with more viewers on average
MTQ is usually mostly right, though she does need to perhaps add an extra guide later once better strats have taken over
happy's youtube guides are very popular though
joonbob probably has the best stuff but seems to be less popular by a fair bit, probably due to the time taken to produce the guides
They’re less popular because by the time they come out strats have already been decided upon by the hive mind, which is exactly the point of his videos
He’s said himself that by design his videos are for teaching people pug strats
He doesn’t innovate or discover anything new about the fights, he just presents the information more cleanly than other guides do
They’re more for the people who are currently not done with the tier by the time they come out, not the week 1 people who are just learning what mechanics do
aka me
Hield and shel as necessary.
Mr happy always has the disclaimer that his strats aren’t perfect and to use the new ones adopted 
I do wish they'd more commonly put out new videos or updates when better strats are formed
A lot of inefficient strats end up PF standard when easier ways that people didn't work out until day 2 get left behind
Not much you can do about the player base being dumb and using outdated strats
ppl who want early strats defer to ilya
and ppl who want the hivemind solution go to mtq
conclusion: people need to think for themselves and should learn how to read
there's like 20 different strats from brambles in e9s
happy brambles
heres my honest take
i dont follow any of them
because i think guides while helpful are just Cancer
I heard a story that someone tried to use JP macros in a NA PF
And no one knew what it meant
And someone had to explain that's not what that means to the na players
that will literally never become a widespread thing in this community and you know it
playing well is toxic you tryhard
playing the game at all is being a toxic elitist tryhard
how dare you do anything except afk in limsa and simp for catgirls
yeah tbf
expecting your crystal tower to not wipe is super toxic
we're just here for rp
We were all wrong
The shirts were all clearly pointing at this new ff title

no bullshit, that looks like it might be pretty good
couldn't be me
Tbh... I woulda been fine if it wasn't a BR
Idk... like FFXV Comrades.
Big old monster fights. But instead as SOLDIER's with GUNS
Like other than it being mobile it looks fine
they saw fortnite on mobile and said
"....We can do that"
i was thinking more PUBG mobile
it looks like you get more stuff at the outset than the scavenger hunt before you get to have fun
but who knows how the game will actually play
most ppl in the west have moved to Warzone
PubG is still super popular in asia
especially india
I realized lahabrea plays a part in EW For pandemonium
Guess he was sick of everyone having a theme song and not him
the last ace in a lost hand; a heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a singed land
so goooood
Seriously I was doing my roulettes
And that song just mentally plays back in my head while I'm doing boss fights
Unless Soken REALLY blows me away in 6.0 I'm afraid I'm going to play that song for whatever the Final Boss is
Hey guys, I can't find it personally but there was a handful of people on twitter earlier today saying that Yoshi P. or someone from the Dev team hinted more as to what the new melee class is? I'm going through my entire twitter feed for today to find the posts people claiming a Dev hinted it
From what the tweets were talking about, all second-hand tweets were that one of the other developers said something on their twitter in Japanese (obviously) that suggested something. I have no idea if there was a picture or people wearing anything
reckon they'll tease a few more things with the next LL?
We have an online event @orchid slate
That gave us a lot of information on what’s to come
Yeah, that's what I mean
The next event is on May
Oh ok, that's what I was asking, did they already have their version of BlizzCon
Oh nice, watching it now. Thanks for the link
I know this is a stretch but what if we get Overlord as a new DPS class
we already have a soulstone
I don't remember that
Grim reaper
yoshi had the grim reaper on both shirts
We got our soulstone, remember?
azem
I mean
After actually watching this video that was linked above I absolutely think it'll be some nu-necromancer. I don't think it'll be what we perceive it; just like how Sage in other FF is completely different from the Gundam-tier Sage we're getting now. I do wonder though, whatever this melee class is, I wonder if it'll be a cloth wearing melee
Sage?
the new melee
Wait do we kow that, I am absolutely new to all this news and info btw
Sage will obviously wear healing gear
I don't tihnk they'll introduce another style of melee armor, ever (or any new type of armor at all, really)
Like, they're at the limit for what they want in the game as sets go
To true, I'm a returning player; never really played full on since ARR so I have no idea of the inner workings
They haven't introduced a new armor type since ARR
Fending, maiming, striking, scouting, aimimg, casting and healing
But the thing is, if they do, from that point forward, that's an additional set of assets they have to make for every tier ever.
On top of this, for existing players, it makes certain things worse--if you like the glamour drops from, say, a dungeon, that forever reduces the chances of you getting it, making glamour farm worse.
There's no gain, however, to a new armor type.
what makes guessing this job hard imo is there isnt many anything in ff left that would fit the bill right now
people keep saying reaper, templar, whatever
Temple knight with battle scythe checks all the boxes.
(though melee geomancer's theory is hecking wierdbrain)
Oh Damn, if we get to actually play as Overlord Azem that would be wild
Not sure if templar uses a scythe
so I'm mainly thinking Beastmaster or Reaper
Though probably not called reaper
geomancer was touched on in the AST questline in stormblood. but it just sounds like conjurer that just uses rock spells tbh
AST is becoming a pure healer, so I wouldn't be surprised if they went and took Geomancer elements into lv 80-90
I didn't even know there were sets like that, I just thought it was casts and melee
Fending for tanks
Casting for magic dps
Healing for healers
Scouting for Ninja
Striking for mnk and sam
Maiming for drg
Very--it's 'Neighborhood t-shirts' -> Geomancer
Add to that Geomancer's actually been a melee in the past
‘M still hoping for a Mhach related scythe-wielder I suppose
Would be a way to make a Templar with a spooky spin
...literally
Wut did I just walk in on
Also you know what 6 0 needs
A on rail star fox inspired shooter
Like airforce one
But in msq
Let us have a on rail shooter piloting the space ship to the moon
Shooting down terminus beast
therion as the final boss
and you have to shoot down all of his little laser beam heads
G Warrior
Therion Laser Rave. Have dance music going as you go to the moooon
though it'll probably be heavy and gritty rock music since that's Soken's current obsession
It’s a scythe job
Apparently all the hints have always been pretty obvious
So it’s pretty much a death themed scythe job with reaper vibe
Hell I’m gonna put my money on the job being called “Reaper”
I’m only saying it cause so far, every hints from the tshirt has been extremely direct
There was never any deep diving
No one had to research and form conspiracy theories
I mean i think the job will be reaper
Even the Samurai bit was apparently obvious once Yoshi P said he liked the Spiderman movie by “samu raimi”
What is it about the grim reaper shirt, and the children of bodom shirt that screams Geomancer to people? Lmao
I heard some say cause “it’s rock band tshirt” like no
Neither Sex Pistol nor COB are rock bands
The only thing that bug me is.... will the job be linked to radz at han ? If yes does he have a link to india culture ?
Ones a punk band the other is death metal
Well India have that thing with reincarnation
But other than that, grim reaper isn’t a big thing in India
Well some think it will be templar and even if i admit that templar is different from paladin i don't think how it fit there
But how does Templer come from that shirt?
If you had to research the artist of the logo then stop. It’s not meant to be so deep, never has been
Well the only other name that come up for me is dervish but the only time i see it in a game it was with a scythe and it was light armored or simply with a robe
But again i don't see how dervich is linked to india, it could work with arabic theme but that's all
well look into dervish from gw2
Oh then idk
gw1*
I thought you were referring to dervish from irl
the thavnair job is dancer
Here, the armour even looks DRG-ish
.hack//Sign
Haseo is the name of the character
Job even has a beastmaster/ranjit vibe but idk
Just the armour matches DRG and it’s a reaper job
Isn't haseo from .hack//GU
yeah, roots and G.U., not sign
We already have a job associated with Thavnair with Dancer.
Its possible its a job associated with Meracydia since Thavnair is the only nation they deal with.
My personal desire is some sort of voidsent hunter from Meracydia that uses scythes
we also have 2 jobs associated with Doma
3 jobs associated with Ishgard
2 jobs associated with Ala Mhigo
Ehhhhh, I wouldn’t necessarily say Dark Knight is that associated with Ishgard, at least as much as MCH/AST
Though in terms of its theme it definitely has a fit in Ishgard
Sure, but nothing about Thavnair screams scythe
So like .5-.75
My bet is it'll either be associated with a location we've never been to before, OR it'll be completely separate from any relation to a location
Ishgard is also called to attention in it's Job Description, and it's Job Quests heavily focus on it's inhabitants
Id also take the gamble that the job is actually based on Sice from Type 0
We have her hair in the game, she's from a FF game, and she uses a scythe
No one deals with Meracydia to be fair
The whole point is that Meracydia literally kills everyone else
Meracydia deals with Thavnair
well, some of the inhabitants do
Thavnair is the only nation they do any trade with
sounds like australia in a nutshell
Which is why it was my initial bet that Thavnair would be the best jumping off point for a Meracydia expansion in 7.0
You're going to have to source that
At best what I got to help you is "very rarely welcome contact with the civilisations of the northern hemisphere, oftimes attacking any who approach by sea or air" on the Meracydia blurb
re: dragons they'd be considered separate from the hydaelyn/zodiark storyline?
Thavnair doesn’t deal with Meracydia unless they’re dealing with crazy mutated dragons
There’s no normal people living in Meracydia, at least none that we know of
catgirls and dragons apparently 
well not so maybe with the catgirls
Koji Fox actually got asked about that
and he basically said "the Miqo'te have migrated A LOT over the course of history" so it sounds like they were simply there at a time and migrated out
What? there absolutely are people in Meracydia
there could still be a population but I wouldn't hold up hopes for a big pop of them catgirls
Yes
There was a texture rip of that earth model
and it does line up with everything
and seemingly shows Meracydia and New World
but you should still take it with a bit of salt, you know, possible placeholders and whatnot
yeah
wow it's actually closer to eorzea than I thought
can't see much but I wonder how this is angledd
you can see a landmass off to the left
Also to be fair that's probably closer looking because it's not curved around a sphere
right?
idk
yeah maps can get distorted
why isn't hydaelyn flat

cos she's a sexy crystal momma? idk? 🤔
curvy crystal mommy
Crystal milkers
"Adter defeating Zodiark and the other boss on the Moon"
Hydaelyn: Well done WoL, even though my aid isn't needed anymore I will like to tell you something of vital importance. There is a foreboding power unlike you have seen before. This power comes from the true catalyst of the calamity. Expose this evil, and finally put an end to this. WoL...good luck and I bid you farewell...
"Hydaelyn fades away"
SE, will we get something like that?
no
fade away shade away
My lalafell is the best
7.0: PvP between EU and NA over who gets to stay, JP laughs from the sidelines
im actually convinced the new pvp mode is battle royale
Gotta have some other evil force to fight against after Endwalker
True
But I’d really love having the super evil and powerful boss that looks like a smolbean
It’s something of a dream of mine
And not a meme villain
But an actual threat, just happens to look irresistibly cute
it should be when its 9 PM in Hingashi and 9 PM in Gridania at the same time
I think people are to focused on what the job is gonna be called and should rather speculate where the art originates from and how it could play
oh jeez I just had a realization
since Endwalker will be the finale of this story arc
essentially all bets are off on major character deaths


well we know trusts are safe at least
nah
Why would all bets be off
Imagine going to space and standing on the moon looking at earth, before you full explored the planet
Isn't there a landmass to the west and South of Eorzea?
Plus with the tech currently in the game why haven't they been explored yet?
Narrative?
yeah, we'll see them eventually
explored as a game or like, lore?
the time is purely a convenience thing
from a development perspective
Time is an illusion
if they actually bothered with timezones that's a headache that's really not worth putting development time into
In lore, right? I mean. There is very VERY little reference of these areas, or even travellers to these areas. Unless i missed shits loads of it
cos fuck dealing with timezones and adjustments
New World to the West is already being explored and exploitedand that's more recent, we do only have sails and shit
As for Meracydia literally so xenophobic they kill everyone who comes by
because an ancient evil empire almost wiped them out last time
ik it was a joke lmfao
Valid tbf
What do you mean "sails"?
Hard to explore Meracydia when everyone wants to kill you and it's also fairly inhospitable in places from the war
Like wind sails on a boat?
But airships are a thing
Yes and no
fairly inhospitable = think parts of bozja
huh no
I forgot to ask this last night here but where are our new zones going to be on? The planet we start on or the place we go to in Shadowbringers?
also re: airships, what's to stop them from pulling a FFXII with those dead spaces
until Eorzea just recently kinda got it
From what we know bozja is "fiiiiiiiiiine" in comparaison to meracydia
I see
Our world
thats why Cid is the main man down on Eorzea....
We already know that
And the Ironworks, i get it now
Bringing all them Magitek science with them
mind you Eorzea did kinda start getting into airships before them but like, airships capable of crossing an entire ocean? Not even Garlemald can seemingly do that
there might be aether dead spots that prevent airship travel above them, also
Meracydia being xenophobes is a decent explanation, ill go with that
but I don't know if that's a thing in the game yet
I'm not sure how that'd work either, just make ceruleum inert?
Wait, so airships can only travel over aether rich areas?
(the whole preventing air travel above dead spots (e.g. flying above the Burn))
No Fry is talking about FFXII stuff Victarion
no, that's kind of what FFXII had
Ah ok
but if they decided to do something like that to justify not being able to fly via airship
imagine making a ship that can go faster than the speed of sound but not one that can go around a wall.
Yes
Man, i wonder how we get to the moon
We hold onto Estinien and he jumps

I still like the idea that what is behind us in the trailer isn't the sun but rather some weird phenomena
Oh, as he is walking towards the glowing bright white light?
he's walking away from it but yeah that scene
yip yip
A part of me wants to say that's us post getting Hydaelyn's power
and that's us magicking up to the moon for a showdown cause that'd be fucking baller
but idk how to explain the spaceship
Lunatic Pandora
Space City
But has no power for some reason so can't travel anywehre
Part of me wants to not get blessed by hydealyn to keep the theme of Azem wanting nothing to do with either elder primal
Fuck that, I’ll eat this memory gummy if I want
Also
Wouldn't even be surprised if he didn't get involved simply because his friends on Zodiark's side
Or he didn't want anyone else to be sacrificed for a new god
Which like, doesn't invalid working with Hydaelyn post sacrifice
Keeping a neutral stance on this, working with neither
We have their soul though
Does that make us Azem?
no
There we go
Kinda also heavily implied we’re a sundered shard
sorry
My bad
I'm partial to the interpretation that Azem was looking for a third way, but was stopped
Yeah.
I refuse to believe the great hero of ages and kicker of asses took the weekend off when the end of the world happened.
This
Also its a conversation back
But I'm willing to bet that spaceship is called the Tower of Babil
I gotta be real honest with you, do we know how big this Moon is going to be, is it just one zone? Also there literally looks like there's nothing on the moon unless its inside
I personally think we will go to the moon once with hydaelyns power fight zenos we do a solo instance battle with him and we tire each other out then fandanban comes and takes both gods powers for himself and we get telelported off the moon and have to find the spaceship to get back up there :D
There's a beast tribe there.
So it's probably at least one zone.
oooooooh I like this
Credit to Rom for this idea: She suggested that the final zone could be the core of Hydaelyn and that the expansion icon isn't a spaceship going to the moon, but going to Hydaelyn.
Its just the burn again. With a different skybox
Hey Matoya's Relict's last zone is just Sohm Al Hard but rainbow
They wouldn't make the moon the focal selling point of the expansion and then have it be just one instance
Fair.
Right?
Yeah but what the hell is there to do on the moon?
Well
We don't know what's on the moon, so...
Anything
Well, a beast tribe so something is there
Can’t wait for gathering on the moon
Ain't many quest hubs on the surface.
Which is why it makes for such good exploration
we dont know whats there
lets find out
Im 1000% down for the inside of the moon being teeming with all kinds of weird shit
But the surface.. Eh.
Or even the backside of the moon having strange shit
So, teleport fees to the moon, we thinking 999 or 9999
I mean the moon instance could even be going through what starts as the burn, go over a ridge, and suddenly it's crystals and wierd shit
Ending in a Crystal Palace, which starts the actual moon zone
Hell, Pandaemonium could even be on the moon--seems a logical place to slap it down
And you think Emet-selch didn't slap down some sentimental shit here and there?
Some places where calamities on the Source can't touch?
Rais - 999. Upping it to 9999 would only drive the design balance to drop/provide even more gil over time, which leads to bigger numbers/inflation/increases packet size, which is something they're trying to tamp down with the stat squish. Now, not as MUCH, mind, because gil transaction packets don't happen nearly as often as battle packets, but at the end of the day, if you're already dealing with a problem, why accelerate it at any point.
and could we find untouched ruins
... Ahh. I've seen some folks legitimately asking.
Yeah, people really suck at recognizing what's a joke during Dev presentations
You've met this community.
Yoshi, multiple times: 'This game will continue past the end of the Hydaelyn and Zodiark story, and we are planning to continue this game as long as the board of directors will permit me.'
The community: 'OMG DID YOSHI P SAY HE'S QUITTING/SHUTTING DOWN THE GAME AFTER 6.0'
Question: "Why do the Scions look the same after 15 years?"
Koji: "They have good skin cream lol"
Fans: "oh my god Scions use forbidden anti aging cream to stay forever young ahhhhh"
I'm drinking coffee you're dangerous my laptop doesn't need this risk
0 because aetheryte tickets 
just do masked carnival objectives per week and you're golden
get a lv 80 friend go to khlosiua first area
tag the mobs and have the friend kill them
What
They mentioned in the announcement they were not saying what the second beast tribe would be but 'What could be on the moon... hrmmmm...' so you know, hummingways.
Sin Eater Beast Tribe 💡👍
stands silently
Needa, do NOT PUT THAT ENERGY OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE
💃
Ultros beast tribe
It's all Ultros.
No Typhon.
Just Ultros.
I hope the moon rabbits ALL have hats. Just to troll the fuck out of player rabbits.
I just want some info on the new job
I'll kill you
2 whole months we have to sit with anticipation for what the scythe job looks like
@maiden lodge @teal geyser @unique verge
WHAT IF THE MOON BEAST TRIBE IS THE RABBIT MEDIUMS

Duuuuuude
NIN lore and trolling rabbit players? I can dig this.
The Ninjas still don't know where those damn rabbits come from
They just exist
To mock them
In related thoughts
I hope that whatever that bigass logo ship is
Someone else is in control of it
and then we seize control of it
thus making the WoL the Source's first Space Pirate
You know how those pirates of Limsa are crying about not being able to pirate anymore
They become space pirates
Watch the space shop gonna be a dungeon if we do steal it
dorito
Pls stack to board the dorito
The allagans used doritos for space travel
Well. What about the allagans?
How do you know they didn't space pirate before you?

So uh, Zenos
He died right and an Ascian (i forget which one) took over his corpse
Now his "soul" is back in its body, so hes whole again
Elidibus
When, uh. Did this happen
Yes. But how did his soul exist?
He has resonant remember
Which is basically an artifical echo
and you know echo allows one's soul to continue to exist
and possess bodies
I totally knew that
That one Sahagin priest did it in 2.2
🙃
The Ascians do it
The Warriors of Darkness used the echo to send their souls to the source
etc etc
People with Echo/Resonant can do this, its just that our PC is lazy about developing ours further than "talk to critters" and "fitehax"
I.....may have skipped earlier cutscenes
Which is working out for them, to be fair
and I have no pity
At least you're around
Yeah, this for sure i knew
But didn't know about his soul taking over that body
oh you thought it could have just been his mind or something?
