So random rear end stupid question, mainly because I'm going through New Game+ from ARR onward because I hate myself, but people get awakened by the meteor shower either real or otherwise correct? In the U'ldah intro it's a random rear end voidesent that gives us a crystal to talk to Mother, so is that...weird or should I really not extrapolate too much from ARR?

E:Aside from all that, I miss Thancred interacting with the Sultana. "Your impestiousness"

It's been a long time but I think when you first create a character you see a meteor shower in a cutscene, then you open your eyes and are in a chocobo cart

Ah poo poo, new game+ doesn't include that, my bad, I definitely forgot about that

Interestingly, the dragon choir in the Endwalker trailer is brand new lyrics as well. And for what they mean, well.
They seem to be:

Treacherous heart of the crystal huh. Wondering if the moon and land is allegory for Zodiark and Hydelin. I'm thinking about the art from last fan fest with hydelin and zodiark connected too.

With 6.0 being the end of the HyZo story, does that means no more blessing of light? I'm still really curious about that 'treachurous crystal' line from the translated HW motif in the trailer.

Come back daddy Middy, we need you for the end times

Middy and Feo Ul both showing up to gently caress poo poo up old world style. They did say 6.0 would be a kind of goodbye so they're bringing in a decent bit of our old friends.

This is literally all I want from Endwalker. Either to actually be a good sapling and call Feo Ul for some backup, or to get rightly bitched the gently caress out if we don't.

The WoL dying would be interesting, my personal theory is us going full Ascian and that opening a new ark and enabling us to visit the other shards because gently caress it, we're an Ascian now.

I like this. It's in the area of 'yeah big poo poo's gonna happen in the end, saying goodbye, Forging Ahead, etc' and makes sense.

I've been listening to the trailer on loop for a while now and there so much to read into in the trailer lyrics, I can't help but feel some of its misdirection.

I love Husky's version but no lyrics. I really want a clean version of the full thing though.

Yeah. If it's like I think it is and a trailer specific medly, we'll get it (please Gods), or if it's the theme itself, in which case we would get it after release, right?

All I know is everywhere I look people are begging for a clean version, they can't ignore that right?

I doubt this is even perhaps 80% accurate but it's been enough to think it's got the right spirit.

That's so funny, same on accuracy of these but they paint a whole different picture. It's such a freaking mystery with no clean version!

Should we lose our way
Tire of all this pain
We won't fade away

No more time tonight
If it's not too late
Forge ahead
As we rise to fight
Soon we'll lose our light
Where we all begin
Forge ahead

I like the interpretation of HP as like the traditional energy/armor and taking a fatal blow is like "the hit that makes it through" and healing magic is just basic nicks and scrapes and revitalization

Somewhat related is like the idea of us ever wiping on an encounter/having the ability to see telegraphs being an Echo thing but that's entirely fan theory stuff I just like the idea of

Like, you eat poo poo at 80% on Titania but actually that attempt was a Final Destination Vision so don't do that or you're loving dead on the "real" attempt

I swore in ShB someone talks about seeing telegraphs being a result of either the echo or blessing of light. It's us feeling a buildup of aether before it pops, or am I misremembering?

I reread the PC Gamer interview with Yoshida again (the one where he vaguely mentions time travel as a possible future story bit), and this caught my eye. It's when he's talking about taking advantage of New Game+ to be refreshed on the story in time for EW.

IN one of the first cutscenes post prologues Goofy owns the previous games' main villains flawlessly with basic deductive reasoning to the point they basically have to peace out because they couldn't keep trying to torture sora emotionally. The next time you see those guys you kick the poo poo out of them so hard they openly admit you were correct and their plans sucked and being beaten up by you over and over has made them better people.

In Kingdom Hearts you either get murdered by Sora or are doomed to get your poo poo kicked in for eternity or til you learn to be a better person, which ever is first. Sora is too stupid to be stopped by any evil plan and too stupid to pull his blows.

KH is incredibly harsh towards it's villains. They are all systematically taken down and beaten and then they have their entire world view destroyed in front of them by a man So Dumb it makes him So Strong and his parents Donald and Goofy.

This is my favorite synopsis of Kingdom Hearts

Like, honestly I'm over Zenos in the Shonen villain way, but I still want to see him for being desperately in love with our WoL in the most goddamn dysfunctional and psychopathic way possible.

Also I love Fandanial because they brought Asahi back because they know his face is vexing to us, and he's the perfect vehicle for whatever the gently caress Fandanial is really planning, idk but after Emet I trust the writer implicitly.

Zenos ain’t about getting tricked. Last time he grabbed some random corpse and took his body back by force.

Also I liked that bit of physical comedy when he launched a katana at Fandy’s head who looked at it wide eyed like a cartoon.

I do enjoy the dynamic quite a bit, not gonna lie
