  1. 1:12 I think we're going to Old Sharlayan first. Media Tour footage shows Old Sharlayan map has a zone connection to Limsa. We also know that Old Sharlayan is acting as the larger city of the expansion, with Radz-at-Han being the endgame hub. In every expansion except for Stormblood, we go to the city first. Heavensward we started in Ishgard, and Shadowbringers we started in Crystarium.

    Most likely we goto Old Sharlayan first, and then we have an MSQ split that will send us to both Labrynthos and Thavnair, with eventually converging on Thavnair for the first dungeon.

  2. Theory: Zenos is only the Vauthry villain of the expansion, you beat him at the 89 trial only for him to side with you and join you in all or nothing throwdown to end Zodiark and Hydaelyn for good. Not because he cares about the world, but because you're his friend and there is no greater predator for his Hunt than the ultimate primals.

  3. I think the flash back of Amarout will be Venat showing us what happened.
    Also I think during the Reaper scene thats gonna be part of the Pandemoneum raid, but just a wild guess.
    The voice we don't know is still Fandaniels voice in the french trailer, apparently

  4. The weird thing about fandaniels words is that in Japanese it sounds like the second voice lines are also his… mysterious!

    Also I hear alphinaud say "to have you at my side…" not "two of you at my side…". it's as if he's talking to us

  5. the voice that says "it will be ours again" is most likely a distorted fandaniel in the jp trailer fandaniel sounds like he has way more lines and theres no second voice, listen closely and it sounds like him…

  6. that whole massive demon really reminds me of the sprite from FF6 from the World of Ruin: Humbaba. You fight him as Terra in Moblitz.. so I can't help but feel like the way that scene was shot, was very much meant to be evocative of that appearance.

  7. @12:45 My guess would be Nerva. The voice sounds to me a bit too old to be the younger blue haired Garlean guy, wouldn't surprise me to be Nerva's son or second in command. I think the unknown older Garlean using the Law's Order gear is just them taking advantage of the Archadian style for Garleans, I don't think it's connected to the 4th. Just setting up our prospective Garlean allies as people like Gaius who thought they were improving things with their order, and literally saving the world from being drained of aether by Eikons like The Burn.

  8. Wasn't there a Judge from 12 that had that collar? That armor reminds me of a Judge. Also, I just noticed that the Lady of the Light is wearing a Ascian as a necklace.

  9. I had trouble with that word too, I first heard it as gloom, but then I thought "oh it must be bloom since there's a flower onscreen" but no matter how many times I listen I can't seem to hear the b?

  10. @22:25 I expect the Fandaniel dialogue is simply a flashback/record to the Convocation conceiving of Zodiark to begin with. This falls in line with the "unfiltered" Amaurot scenes and non-spectral Venat walking through Amaurot. "Mare Lamentorum", I think most people would define lamenting something as a particularly reflective kind of regret or sorrow. The Amaurotine facility we've seen there may specialize in recording and recordkeeping, or is a mausoleum with meticulous recordings of the Ancients. After all, they wanted Zodiark to also return the fallen Ancients to life… I kind of assume they'd need a blueprint of what to bring back.

  11. @27:15 Honestly, with everything going to heck probably almost right out the gate, most things they showed were just vague generic apocalypsey things. So very light on any kind of hard spoilers. We know we're getting flashbacks and more detailed info, this is the end of that story arc after all.
    Even Shadowbringers, where people rag on that "omg Hydaelyn and Zodiark are primals spoilers wtf". Please, we've been guessing that since lv20 Ifrit. All it did is confirm a speculation but that spoiler is SO insignificant because it was the context from Amaurot that made it impactful. It was both huge and nothing.

    lv82 Garlean arena
    lv83 Inside Garlean Tower dungeon
    lv84 Anima MSQ trial
    lv85 Sharalyan City & Underground Arena
    lv86 Underground Arena Dungeon
    lv87 Floating City + Floating city dungeon.
    lv88 Unlock Space Ship & Unlock the Moon Arena

    lv89 Secret Trial// Zeno's fight.
    lv89 The Void area (Those black planets are the drainned aether shards inside the void realm.)
    lv90 Final MSQ dungeon The Void+Crystal Realm. (Venat – Goddess of Light dies.)
    lv90 Final Boss – Fandaniel.
    lv90 Zodiark Raid Series. Zodiark will be restored as you do more of the raid. (Zodiark basically needed to save the planet from the final days destruction.)

    Looks like they will be bringing back people back from the dead as voidscents more or less.

    Garlean guy in the trailer is the leader of the 4th legion I believe. Zeno's uncle.

  13. Hi, a JP server player here.
    Did you know that the line of Emet @22:36 is different with Japanese trailer?
    It was NOT Emet's JP voice totally (How can I forget his voice after all? lol) and he said 壊そうというのか、 この美しき世界を? meaning "(you are saying that) you are trying to destroy it, this beautiful world? instead of Emet's line at 22:36 in EN trailer.

    Guess what, the one thing that popped up in my head at that moment was Zordiak himself!!!! (goose bumps & chills)

  14. Emet is with us via the crystal we found in 5.3.

    I mean he kinda did save us during our fight with Elidibus

    Anyone watch the Donner Superman movies? Superman's parents kind of live on in crystals

  15. I love how Endwalker trailer is so extremely drammatic and WoL seems to be in state of total despair yet in reality in the game our WoL gonna be busy with their sanctuary island and afk-ing in limsa with their new endwalker glam.

  16. At this point I will understand if Venat and/or Anima aren’t related to Zenos, but I’ll still die on this damn hill. 😤

    The young female voice sounds like Shirley Henderson, who many may know as Moaning Myrtle. Doesn’t reveal anything overall unfortunately, just thought it was interesting.

  17. The "It will be ours again, a world free of sorrow " is Fandaniel speaking, in the japanese trailer you can clearly see its the same as Fandaniel, but in english trailer the VA put a lot more emotion
