after rewatching the trailer the thing i want to know more about is the monster at the end. it looks like a big muppet and i must see more.

like it's obviously something like what we saw in Amaurot but that just raises further questions

My biggest takeaway from the trailer is that I desperately want Zenos to get off that chair and start killing something or monologue about killing something again

Fortunately Lyon has been sating my thirst for fight-wanters, but I have to assume he's on borrowed time

Lyon continues to own, especially in his post-scenario data files. He and Pagaga living their best lives

I don't think a specific rule needs to be in place but I think spoilering stuff for a few days is nice, especially since there's multiple avenues of content/story and sometimes might want to discuss MSQ immediately but need a few days to clear Bozja or whatever

my guess would be that she's very weak, and an early plot point in EW will be us trying to find a way to juice her up so we can chat

It's sort of just one of those things where the audience knows the character isn't really in danger but in-universe it's very scary so naturally they take a bunch of precautions and make sure she's fine

I think it'd be a lot cooler if the Zenos fight was epic and badass, instead of the devs spending a bunch of resources to make it intentionally boring.

I'm fairly certain the 'consequences' are standard 'this ancient forbidden technique lowers your lifespan', IE it's Bad because it will Kill You Eventually but not in a timeframe that is liable to actually show up in the show/game/whatever.

yeah i would be pretty surprised if she ends up paying any cost in the MSQ. it's the sort of thing that feels like a big chekov's gun but often just sorta goes unmentioned

I personally like the theory that the twins' dad disowned them to basically break the shackles of their name and to let them go buck wild with loving up the Sharlayan social structure without the burden of their name's legacy

But in general I like theories where the end result is "this person was being overdramatic but is actually very nice :)" so we'll see

And a pastebin with potential DPS changes (not always too specific and without pictures they're not confirmed, but unless we get more leaks this is probably it before the actual Media Tour info NDA is up).

the fact that the pastebin is written like "idk i think the capstone ability is called this, maybe not. also i cant remember what it does" actually makes it feel more likely to be correct lol

I honestly don't know what I intend to level first. Sage is a contender (I like healers) along with WHM and AST. But I could theoretically get any of my casters/physical DPS to 80 before launch, they're all 71+.

So of course I am currently leveling GNB.

As someone who leveled a New Job in SB before starting the new MSQ proper, I highly recommend playing your current main to cap unless you're just absolutely smitten with the idea of one of the new jobs - it sucks being behind everyone you play with in the story/dungeons, and also I usually think it just feels Right to see your WoL's main job in all the cutscenes.

We've seen the bicolored gem screen for EW in various media tour videos, it still shows 6 zones and has no visible way to scroll. They're probably just using "zones" (plural) either on accident or to refer to things like special arenas as well

craziest thing I remember about the towers is seeing them and thinking "oh those look mhachi in design" and some rando npc running up shouting "those are obviously of garlean make!", like, really?

Yeah I remember coming into this thread when that story beat happened and everyone being like yeah wtf.

I feel like the characters pointing out that they're OBVIOUSLY garlean, and you'd be a real fool to not see it, is specifically because no one would have made that assumption otherwise lol

Sephiroth's popularity is based entirely on his image. Aside from Cloud's flashback you don't even see him until you get to the Crater.

this is sort of silly because you don't meet Emet Selch until [checks watch] hundreds of hours of MSQ
