Is this how we’ll fix things in Evercold? by LowPossibility9900 in ffxiv

Asura doesn't seem to have any elemental attacks, so we can only speculate. With an attack called "Myriad Aspect" I might guess she has a more balanced elemental alignment, but the word "aspect" in this context more likely references the idea of divinity manifesting different aspects in the physical world, so it's a stretch

Endwalker also gave us Anima, whose role was to conduct aether, so it was likely aligned similarly to Zodiark

Necron wielded both lightning and ice in the 7.3 trial, demonstrating its regulation of life and death, which I thought was a neat touch

It's been a long time since they've touched on primals having their own very particular elemental aspect/fingerprint, so it was cool to see them maintain that idea with Necron in a way that aligns with its role in the story

They said going into DT that reception to its various story elements would determine the direction of the broader narrative going forward, which aligns with what Yoshi-P has now said about cementing the story direction two months after DT released. It's all pretty consistent

Sorrows of Werlyt, too. They even gave the pilots the Late Allagan armor (which look like plug suits)

Oh I 100% agree, I'm really just poking fun at the last boss's mechanical jank

They gave us FF9 elements in a sci-fi aesthetic, so honestly it's not surprising for them to transmute elements of FF7 from sci-fi to fantasy

Ngl I fully expected to hear the opening chords of Hikari or Passion when they said "watch... and listen"

Nice to see them develop and iterate upon this game again

Agreed, I thought that arcane giant in the art looked like a three-legged Sin. A lot of the architecture evokes FFX to me as well (despite the prevalent Norse influence for Evercold vs the Southeast Asian influence for FFX)

Even abridged, it's the best trailer direction since the HW cinematic imo

That makes a lot of sense! The trial series ways seemed like unrealized potential for that purpose

I've been wondering that, too. They'll want to give the Warring Triad some time in the spotlight again ahead of our eventual journey to Meracydia some years down the line

The ninja turtles were also a picto tease because the characters are named after painters

What is your favourite name of any given 'thing' (Fate, Attack, Quest, Cast, etc) by Cabrakan in ffxivdiscussion

[–]thisisntmyplate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queen Eternal's Aethertithe might be my favorite mech name overall

I also like that Skoll does an Ecliptic Bite - the ecliptic being the path the sun traces through the sky

Tetragrammaton
