Hi I think she's Altima and here's why. Altima is described as an advocate for arts and aesthetics. She's symmetrical. It's in line with pictomancer. The new tomestones are Allagans Tomestones of Aesthetics.

has this been removed ? i never get a box to tick desynth whole stack

They need to bring Gosersu's job/class into the game! It is truly awesome!

Love your videos! This might be overstepping but I think your channel would really benefit from adding a bit of variety with your vocal inflection to prevent every sentence from ending on a downward pitch :)

Here's what's probably going to happen post-DT: -There are multiple war crimes trials were it's remnants of the Garlean Empire vs everyone they ever screwed with. -They're are stripped of their military and magitek -Garlean refugees scatter all over Eorzea, Ishgard, Ala Mhigo, etc. and become second-class citizens no matter where they go. And if they end up in the hands of any of the beastmen it's GG for them.

I think this theory makes a lot of sense, though I do have another farfetched idea: Enigmatic Maiden could be a homunculus of Valigarmanda (ala Varshahn)

This would be effectively a XIV-2. I would love if you'd indulge in theories and discussion of what Eorzea, as realm already reborn but now rebuilt, would look like and what stories would unfold across not only Aldenard, but the other continents and shards as well. :^) Gameplay/data structure wise, how would the housing, items and all that jazz from the 10-year old game transfer?

The only possible ressurection is via writer's decision. :^(

nhaza'a jab's eyepeice bears a resemblence to a few other eyepecies ive seen in media, but it reminds me somewhat of the evil mirror universe double of Kiva's eyepeice from megas xlr

I really like your dancer glam, keeping your onion knight helmet, but still swearing dancer stuff, is the helmet all classes?

As long as we do not need to make a necklace of it I am fine with whatever Ceruleum is created from. (Warcraft Battle for Azeroth reference)

I think she's related to Krile in some way. They made the design for both of them a similar color palette, for association, (I think,). We also know Yoshi P said Krile was important to the plot. Also: Where are Krile's parents? Do we know? Maybe they're distant relatives to Allagans in some way? I love the theory crafting. Nice work <3

I'm also very interested in ceruleum and what story it has to tell. Since the Whalaqee people see it as sacred I wonder if there's some secret behind what it is or it's Origins and if it's similar to mako from FF7.

There are some aspects of ceruleum lore that could be expanded on. Namely the differences between it and crystals. For example why, seemingly, don't the Garleans use crystals at all? Cid and the other defecting Garleans of Garland Ironworks have extensive knowledge of aetheric material properties considering the number of projects they worked on. From the large, brute force crystal- I guess you would call it aetheric manipulation contraption against primals like Garuda to small scale improvements of the warding scales. So its still surprising that Garleans haven't made more extensive use of crystals in conjunction with ceruleum. Granted, Garland Ironworks isn't exclusively made of Garleans, but much of their knowledge is still based on Garlean understandings of aetheric properties. Or what makes crystals less suitable for one application over another and vice versa. We use crystals when we craft, but never seem to use ceruleum in any of our recipes, not even as a crafting ingredient. Silver Tear Lake crystals have ceruleum mixed in with it, I'm surprised someone hasn't made use of it. Then again, maybe the two of them together are more volatile than either alone. The default answer is that it requires aetheric manipulation or that it is easier to manipulate ceruleum to the point that even a race like the Garleans can use it, but that's the cop out answer. Their extensive knowledge should be more than enough to get some benefit out of crystals. The other answer is the Garleans' pride. They may view crystal use as "barbaric technology", inferior to their ceruleum tech. Which considering their ability to match or even exceed other nations' power, it wouldn't be surprising if they do take on that view. Lastly, the two's formation. As you've said, both are aetheric in nature, but why does one form into crystals, nevermind into specific elements, while the other is a liquid that seems to be consistently unaspected. Again, how does their formation affect their properties?

I'm willing to bet they're causing trouble in the other reflections.

Really good to see racket as weapon! It eluded me, having conceptualized Garnet and Eiko's use of it as 'staves'; another weapon like it would be Vanille's binding rods in 13, which have always confused me: part staff, part whip and also a...fishing rod?

Your choice of BSM as chocobo-mount based...instantly reminds me of the moogle chocobo knights in Tactics Advance. I wonder if it'd be a mounted class!

I can see a hammer tank and a dual gun ranged dps, mirroring Livia and Nero while also providing opportunity for Gaia to class change(as much as I want a mage tank and she would also fit that, I see that as a role a Rune/Mystic Knight Raha could fit. On that note, I feel Ryne having not being made a dancer postergirl for the job's expansion [Lahminn callback to Minfilia/Ascila] for the expansion to be a sorely missed opportunity ). On another note, the Roegadyn ancestral home - or a hellsguard alabathian area - could provide a stage for viking-like classes.

No red eyes.

She doesn't have red eyes... so my guess no.

I said early on when I first saw solution 9 it is going to have many ties to FF9. Soul transference. In FF9 you had terra and dolls/souls. The Lifa Tree created the mist that shrouded a whole region in mist. Alexandria the kingdom being the first main city. FF9 explores the dark ages, industrial age and tech age. Garnet aka Sarah is part of a ancient summoner clan that gets wiped out and her horn removed. The lightning would me the most. The dark age, industrial and tech all their. Selene instead of a horn red eyes or something else. The town is Alexandria or at least looks like it in that one area. I think the gate will either disple the fake barrier to the tech people and phaze it into the real world or it leads to the 6th zone whatever that may be.

I don't know if Allag is directly connected to this. Unless it is the reason we end up going to Meracydia. But I think she is more related to one of the Metione sisters because she sounds like Metione. And I think these people are from one of the planets or shards that one of the sisters visited. And how Solution Nine is handled is one of the solutions that the far off planets came up with to deal with life. It is also possible that these people or at least her, might be a Mega Computer or an AI and that they would also be linked to the Fountain of Youth. Princess Salina was also part oc the Crystal Tower storyline and they gave their power to G'raha. So no I really don't think she is related to Allag, at least not in the way you are talking about.

I've been thinking they're tied to ascians or maybe Mach do to the crazy airships and prominent purple colors you see during the sky pirate raids

The cubes & script have clear allagan connections (the hieroglyphs can be found in Eureka Orthos), but no such link exists in Solution Nine. They use Eorzean script and some script similar to Hangul that I haven't seen before. I think these are two separate civilizations. Doesn't stop your theory of Selina being true, but I don't think she'd be connected to Solution Nine if so. My pet theory is crown + dead eyes + piloting a magitek(ish) = Terra, who was the child of an esper. The "gold civilization" is actually espers, and they locked themselves away after "the war of the magi" - a war between the proto-allagans and solution nine, which ended with Solution Nine being timelocked (the key being clearly of allagan design and in the shape of an hourglass, indicating temporal magics, of which the allagan are known). The proto-allagans were entrusted with keeping the Niners locked away while the espers fled back to their domain through the vault-portal.

All I know, is that if we're gonna be deep diving into Allag, we need to translate their writing.... No one's done it, and no one has proven it's impossible either....

Seeing that the other tech seems to be lightning related and the lightning doem area shrouded indarkness, it seems it is more connected to the lightning calamity which was number 2, Allag did emerge after calamity 3 which was fire if I remmember correctly.

Cool speculation.

Oh wow, the Elementals are dicks :/ Thank you for the vid! I feel well informed

I care not for her origin is from otherworld or virtual world or else, but she is my first NPC I love at first sight. ( - ////// - )

I so thought this too!

I dont think they would go again with Allagans or Garleans, these guys are probably new threat we will be dealing with for some time, she might not even be the main villain, but some in between, tho her smug look tells me it will be far more complicated than that. I have no clue how to call those soldiers tho, they are certainly not a small "Faction" since they have a fuckin Battlecruiser that could rival Agrius or Dalriada in its size. Maybe some Empire from the world that was supposed to die in second umbral calamity but didnt? Or maybe some tech cult, just hoping its not "robots", had enough of Nier for a lifetime

inb4 she's not of our world and she's a Cetra
