This first raid tier looks to be the Heaven of Fire and the Heaven of Lightning. The Heaven of Lightning houses Byregot and Rhalgr, in the spire. The Heaven of Fire was built by Nald'thal fired by the heat of Azeyma's sun.
That traveling glam looks amazing. Found my new permaglam for my healer class.
@20:25 It took me until this breakdown to realize the Au Ra girl is the one from the Steppe Child questline, which was listed as a requirement for the tribe quests. I amusingly recognized the matanga woman before the Au Ra.
PvP is truly seemingly being, finally, focused on for a while.
I remember waking up, watching the trailer and being like "Thal's balls! This trailer is bloody awesome!" while simultaneous being excited that I'll be able to now explain Thal's balls to other FFXIV players without them giving me strange glances.
Man the ff9 hunt music remade made me so hype watching this, can't wait to hear the entire music
10:13 I don't know if they did it on purpose but they avoided the MY TURN(s) jokes with Thancred
@30:45 Erebos, if I recall. It makes me wonder if Yshtola's studies will involve The Void. After all, Voidsent and Unsundered Ascians are capable of travel between shards. Likewise, Nylebert and Taynor's Hollows. The shared element of all of these is Darkness/Astral.
It feels like this is something that wants to converge with the Void Quests, but unlocking those is at present quite a demand on the job levels.
Edit: In a reverse of my initial speculation, perhaps completing Ysh's quests in EW will be a prereq for more Void Quests later.
It is worth that alot of this indicates the Scions are doing what they said they would at the end of Endwalkers. Urianger and Thancred were going to travel together so likely they are just stopping by on the way somewhere else. Infact, I might need to check but I have a feeling they are actually in that location currently at the end of of the MSQ for Endwalker.
I have a feeling Krile will be significant because I think our characters will be working a lot with the Students of Beldesion.
A thought: at about 25:48 when we see us, Nero, and Forchenault, I have to wonder if the scene actually takes place in Hingashi or Othard and not in Garlemald. The reason I say that is the warrior of light is dressed as a samurai and not as a paladin. In the Stormblood promotional scenes, they were very deliberate to dress the warrior of light as a monk for events that occurred in Gyr Abania and as a samurai for scenes in the far east. So the fact that the warrior of light is not dressed as a paladin there must be deliberate
I really hope they don't cram meracydia into the 6.x patches.
23:30 I think this place is "The Heaven of Lightning." (In the Heaven of Lightning, one will find a towering clockwork spire built by Byregot with metal forged from a comet and powered by Rhalgr's levin bolts.)
And because there's Azeyma and Nald'Thal, second place we see in this 24-men raid is "The Heaven of Fire" (In the Heaven of Fire sprawls an endless city built by Nald'thal from golden bricks fired in the heat of Azeyma's sun.)
So there's 4 more heavens left and 2 more 24-men raids are left too.
The Alliance Raid looks like it may be one of the best yet. And I love that there’s voice acting back!
That spin is so ridiculous, it's great. Y'shtola spinning with her arms out. lol
Yay Krile! I love Krile. Since she missed out being a Trust she did get sidelined often in EW but we still got more of her than usual and it was great.
7:34 – I'm doubting if that actually is Nero. This guy may have a similar hairstyle/color, but he has an earring, which Nero hasn't had one to this point.
The bright icon, top right of map, is the symbol of Radz at Han so prob nothing to do with The ruins under the bounty. Isn't that right by Limsa?
👉👉👉👉 you missed 12:57 it appears the War is doing a "get over here" or draw in ability on the PLD 👈👈👈👈👈
So it looks like over the next 3 .x patches we get to fight all of the 12. I still want them to make Halone an actual dragon just to mess with the Ishguardians.
I'm interested in omega continuation and whatever fourtunault is involved in. Be pretty cool to be in a group with him….
Obviously looking forward to the 24man
Funny thing is the names of Thal and Nald put together change on one way or the other sounds similar birth (Naldthal) or death (Thalnald) to some variations of latin. BTW do the hand look like Animas hand?
Bro, Byregot is pronounced Bee-ehr-go
The alliance raid reminds of Giruvegan from ffxii when the party meets the occuria (sp?)
All the Arkasodara are Matanga, that's their race, the Gajasura is the other tribe of Matanga from Azim Steppe
I don't know if this would be positive or negative feedback, but the fact that happy is doing a new thumbnail style is what sticks out to me
Tataru is knitting a sheep to symbolise the sacrificial lamb. That's why she's pining to get you back (and the rest of the scions). Her evil plan is moving along nicely.
The foggy area right before the Alazadaal Ruins / Nyzul Isle aesthetic and mobs feels like Caedarva Mire, which is also the same area that leads into Alazadaal Ruins in FFXI.
Low key, I've been thinking…
…everyone thinks Azema is Azem, but what if the Twelve's incarnation of Azem isn't the WoL's former incarnation, but rather Venat's? Remember that Venat was Azem before Ancient WoL complete soul took over the Seat. It would also go into what they've been doing with the whole "We don't want to actually reveal who YOUR Azem was, since we'd rather you be able to invent your own headcanon for him/her."
Venat as the former-Azem as the inspiration for Azema would get around this.
Does anyone think the screen shattering away ffx style means anything before the preview at the end? Likely not, but it is a very specific transition
Isn't it Riol handing the map to Estinien? With him wanting to go to Meracydia for a future adventure, I'd assume his first stopping point would be to see Vrtra.
Man I can't wait for the new part of the story. I thought it was Riol handing the map to Estinien.
The location of us and G'raha disappearing has already been found in Mor Dhona, on Silvertear Lake. My guess is that we're going to go with Y'shtola in Gubal and that's where the dark presence will be released and branch into the 24-man, similar to the Ultima Prototype in 5.1 branching for Gaius in 5.2.
I love what i assume is the lyric version of the 24man raid!! Cant wait to have it.
Perhaps the void-like thing for Myths of the Realm is a forgotten 13th God?
Blond character seen from behind exists
Players: NERO?
But I ain't judgin', I thought Quintus mighta been Nero before EW dropped. I do think map guy is just some other blond character. Whether he'll be a major or minor character though, idk.
3:31 that's Golbez for sure I'm pretty sure he says ah at last I've returned.
I'm interested in the state of Hildibrand. I think it was described that the spectral WoLs were just partially summoned, as in essentially just their essence.
The towers in the background with the orange hued skies (at 25:18) seems to have a circular symbol on the top with lines going under them. Some of them look very similar to azeyma's symbol.
0:17 – I think many people had the same problem with the initial trailer in the stream, I had the same while streaming and got really confused why it stuttered so much. 😅
20:50 – They are all Matanga. Arkasodara is just the name of the tribe in Thavnair, Matanga is the name of the whole race.
As for the Myths of the Realms, we see two heavens here: The Heaven of Lightning with Byregot and Rhalgr, and the Heaven of Fire with Azeyma and Nald'Thal. I believe the Silvertear Lake scene is how we go to the realm of the Twelve. This makes me wonder… 29:43 – Can this be the Hell of Fire?
just my thought on the rings on the heads there … i saw 8 rings for an 8 player fight, my guess the amount of players needed for eacht head mech tower there
Isn't anyone curious why they showed us seemingly FOUR bosses from the alliance raid? Is this the first time they have ever shown all of them, or am I just crazy… OR are there FIVE bosses?
You can see the Rhalgr statue's base at the background in Byregot's fight, so the statue definitely isn't the same one as in Rhalgr's Reach.
Everyone seems to be forgetting, there is already a way to travel between the shards. I mean, voidsent have to be getting to the Source somehow. Maybe Y'Shtola should start by looking into that.
"We can't just have a castle floating off in the sky somewhere"
My dude, Azys Lla? There was all of that off in the sky, and the world is very large. Castle in the sky type biomes are fun, whether we do them past, present, future, or other reflections.
Speaking of, Remember how the role quests ended in ShB? I think we're going to another reflection one of these days, maybe cleanse the 13th?
Does Nero have earrings?
I swear, everytime we see a character with slick blond hair from the back everyone immediately goes "NERO!?" even though the voice we always hear over top of said character isn't Nero's…
Ya know…..the newfound adventure outfit kinda reminds me of a Freelancer/Mime. Just sayin'…
love your breakdowns of the trailer, very much on point with what was being revealed. Excited to dive into these new routes in the story.
No one seemed to notice the music at 1:28ish is the Great Hunt theme from FF9.
The Hippo Calf minion from Vanaspati details that Hippos are native to Meracydia; Hippos are native to Africa. So… There's that. Perhaps an African-Australian hybrid land.
Also, the Lambs of Dalamud wear red. These are wearing black. More likely ascian remnants.
The Myths of the Realm is "below" Silvertear, it's taking place inside an Ultimatum. "Aglaia" is Greek, too, so. Makes sense.
Rhalgr's statue is in the background of the Byregot fight
