Erenville is narrator. I am in danger ahahaha. And of course things won't go smoothly, when do they ever for the warrior of light? 😂
2 more weeks until the new adventure!
i hope we get some krile character growth coupled with her class change
Great vid Endy! I love your speculation that she's Valigarmanda.
After watching the trailer and seeing media tour vids, this is my crazy guess:
The similarities between the Qitana mural and the Tural murals isn't an accident. We know that the Ronka were crazy powerful, and they also had Mesoamerican themes. What if the city of gold was made by Ronkans who managed to managed to escape the 1st, when their civilization was about to fall? Some people might even know about it. We know the Ronkans were primarily Viis. Maybe Erenville is descended from them That would explain your suggestion that he might already know about the place.
Great to see your reaction to this!
Lala's where the first people to ever exist and were god like beings 😮
The craziest thing is one of those sci people are holding a gun we saw concept art for in like Stormblood maybe? people worried this expansion could feel like filler after ending the H vs Z saga but i think some of these things have been cooking for a while and just not added till now.
I thought we were going to have to wait a lot longer for this video 🎉
I was so distracted by the story they were telling at the time that I didn't even think about those lalas possibility being Krile's parents!;
In the famous words of Led Zeppelin: "Ramble On" Masterclass corking
One additional theory so far, Endy:
One of the other contenders wins instead of Wuk. Wants to claim the resources and tech from the Golden City/Solution 9. Starts a war they cannot win, Solution 9 attacks Tuliyollal.
That’s why I feel Solution 9 will be introduced early as the second hub city and be friendly before the contest winner attacks and puts a dent in that peace.
Awesome stuff, even more excited for Dawntrail!
I had completely forgotten that the trailer and live letter were coming out today. Thanks for catching me up!
The girl lalafel at 2:34 , could be Kriles mother?
Endy quickly rising up the ranks with Preach, GG and OkayMage as my fave XIV content creators.
Random FFXI knowledge: Zoraal Ja, the single-head Mamool Ja claimant, in FFXI is a random notorious monster (field boss) you can fight. Of possible relevance to Dawntrail, in FFXI Zoraal Ja is a Beastmaster, who fights you alongside his pet Colibri.
Bakool Ja Ja, the two headed claimant, is also in FFXI, as the leader of the Mamool, Strifelord Bakool Ja Ja. He's an FFXI style Dragoon who is aided by 3 wyverns instead of a typical Dragoon's one.
Endy Endy Endy!!! These next two weeks are gonna last three years I swear.
Thanks for yet another awesome video. Good catch on the map bit, and the Kryle theory is really interesting!
Can't wait!
Have a good one 😀
I think the purple military is a flashback
Insert Dog bongos emote!
Ah, I was too busy with work and forgot about the live letter and trailer! This was such a pleasant surprise!
I've seen someone on Twitter, currently known as X, theorize that Erenville might be Halmarut of the Convocation('s Shard) (with or without his knowledge), because a) Halmarut is the only one currently unknown what his fate is, b) his Soul Crystal and Erenville's eyes share the same Yellow hue, and c) the connection between Halmarut being the "Cultivator of botanical and mycological creations" and Erenville as a Gleaner collecting and studying nature's bounty.
I don't know how much I like this theory, because it's convincing, but also we were JUST done with the Ascians in Endwalker. It'd be weird if there was more Ascian Lore, even with only one individual of them.
Brilliant Corking as always Endy love the video, I think u may be on to something with Krile's parents i had the same thought myself as it makes sense why she would be so forlorn leaving Krile behind on what looks to be a one way trip.
I also had thoughts after you mentioned the Ceruleum powered train that we have been told Tural is rich in Ceruleum at one of the PLL and shown an old west style rail station in concept artwork, I think elements of the story will involve immigration as refugees from Garlemald learn of the abundance of Ceruleum and flock to Tural to seek a better life maybe in what looks to be recently built towns we have been shown looking like the old west.
13:41 The alphi firewood saga continues.
I can't tell whether the motif that plays both times we see Krile interacting with the vault door is a variation on Celes' theme, or if the melodic progression is just coincidentally similar.
Not long now 🤏
Beautiful video, Endy! Your corking definitely got me thinking even more than originally watching the trailer did. I DO have a crazy out there theory of my own.
So far, Solution 9 seems to have technology that greatly outstrips Garlamald and is even different from the technology of Allag. As players have noted, it is quite the whiplash to everywhere else we find in Etheris. Which has made me come to an interesting theory. What if… we're looking at the remains of a civilization from another shard that has sought refuge in the source?
We know Y'shtola is looking for a means to travel to the other shards. Is it possible for someone from Solution 9 to have the answer? I believe it was Yoshida who mentioned (I think) at the online fanfest during covid that some of the shards' civilizations would shock us. So, is this how we find a method to traverse the shards?
Super hype!! Love hearing theories + speculation just fuels my hype even more for this expansion
Dude, for whatever reason your voice is awesomely smoothing. 😊 Great video
I love your theories Endy 😊
Watching this on the train with 6 hours sleep. Thanks for helping make it such a chill experience with your theories as always
