Great as always.
Lyrics might be placeholder, to set the tone but not yet official
If there's not a single cowboy character in this expansion I'll riot
That buff hrothgar was wearing a bandana… dare I get my hopes up for hrothgar headgear
Always love to get some new lore. One thing to note is they possibly showed concept art of other new zones/dungeons during the plot summary they did I think. Possibly the city of gold and a new highlands zone. Hopefully we'll spend all the expansion in Tural and not have another split one.
Great video! I loved hearing a more in-depth analysis of the trailer. However, the music did feel a tad too loud at times that distracted from hearing your voice. Just a piece of advice 😊
Galool Ja Ja being a blue mage and wanting to spar with wol might mean he wants to learn some new spells 🔹👀🔹
I just want to be a pirate. Ive been waiting for so long. Let me be the overly sarcastic jack sparrow ripoff ive always wanted to be Yoshi.
I'm willing to bet that the female voice at the end of the trailer is not only a Femhroth, but also the mysterious client of Baldesion's Students, y'know, Yugiri style
Great video! Love the refresher and breakdowns.
Something that stood out to me, was the logo. The picture of the temple with the rainbow above, for me, reminded me of Azem's crystal shape. Or you could be like my husband who saw say's its actually a Namazu yelling at the rainbow.
And crackpot theory, it feels at least early on, that the influences for DT will be coming from FFX. The water, the tribe races, the regions, a meso-american sport thats could be a nice substitute for blitzball. With that in my head, I wondered if the Golden City will actually end up being 14's version of Zanarkand. Specifically either an allagan city, or, an Ancient's city. The final days started across the sea, and I want to believe that there had to have been other major cities in the unsundered age.
is it weird that i was initially drawn to this video by the, what is it? magus blu af from ffxi, before derplander?
I was oddly overjoyed to see that The Road to El Dorado movie clip, it being one of my favorite comfort movies! Also great video like always, Elio! ^_^
My crackpot theory is that the sword Meteor is wielding is a placeholder weapon made specifically for this teaser trailer. I'm thinking that it will eventually get replaced by a more corsair-centric cutlass in the next or final version of the trailer.
Background track got really grating after a while…also doesn’t really fit the vibe of the video at all
Less dire?! Please that expansion logo is a checking Star Destroyer 😂
That opening line on this video was basically my reaction to the trailer 😂 “This is… Meracydia?! Awww…. Ok, still excited, but… I guess I can wait”
Honestly i am really really sure that whole throne fight will only be at the start, the picture on the lower left at 1:11 , hints to way bigger stakes already
Erenville going home is kinda a weird thing considering viera kick their bouts out of the village when they reach adolesence, only coming back to mate and take other boys into the wood to teach them how to survive the wood. And when they leave their lands they're as much outsiders as anyone else and usually attacked as invaders. So unless the new world viera work under different rules, going to Erenville's home could be a dangerous prospect.
I'm so glad we're getting a seemingly light(*ish*) and breezy expansion. Just the gang exploring a tropical landscape and having fun
Do we know if Tural is the name for the entirety of the New World or just the southern region?
Great video.
I do want to see what the new jobs are. The summoner rework has left me feeling homeless, And i want to see what possible additions to summoner they will make, or all else fails, what the newest caster class is so i can geek out about more applications of aether and the culture its birthed from.
though one other unrelated comment. I was so hoping for meracidia, But i suppose it would be a really bad setting for a light hearted romp considering the last thing we knew about it was it was completely devastated and completely hostile to outsiders.
My only theory is that it's gonna be a fun time 🙂
don't give up hope on meracydia 7.0!
we can probably expect at least some mention of it at EU or more likely JP
I always smile when Yoshi P says no blitz ball. Or as 8bit theatre rightfully called it Drown Ball. But yes Horth kittens need to be seen as much as fem Hroth. I got my fantasia ready for one of my characters for fem Hroth.
Even a scholar type videos not above lazy lalafell jokes apparently. Pass . . .
