    So i have a question about a particular sword and the main villain..

    Spoiler: show
    So the katana with the white hilt that the masochist chick gifts to the main villain.. I thought that would be more of a story point. They seemed like they started playing it up when he used it during the 2nd encounter instance against the player but then... Nothing happened and it didnt seem to come up again. Thought maybe it was gunna be Hien's pop's sword or something and it would refuse to cut the player or some Bleachy nonsense. Any info on that weapon?

So if they're from the Source (the world in which the majority of XIV has taken place so far, sans the World of Darkness/Void (a mirror world that fell completely to darkness and its people became the Voidsent)), perhaps they're particularly gifted Echo users from many Eras past.

    I guess after the switcheroo with Nael's sister taking over for her deceased brother, Gaius is as good as any possibility. Especially if you take the final DRK Job quest into account (as far as who did not show up).

    Do we have an age on Gaius though? Elibidus has a youthful face model, from what we can see

    I just find it really suspicious that the Emperor would be so taken aback and offended by his face. I can't think of any imperial legatus that the current emperor has ever had good things to say about aside from Gaius

    Regula van Hydrus was his bestest friend, and oldest friend (dating back many years).

    Wait wait so the end of that cut scene did not show the face? I actually completed thst msq near to maintenance and when the ascian revealed his face and the emperor showed surprise, i hit connection lost. It couldn't have been timed more hilariously. It did not play the cs again afterward and i forgot to check the inn book for it.

    For people like me who have no interest in leveling DRK, care to tell what happens there?

    Dunno if this has already been noted, but Elidibus has a shadow. Does that mean something?

    Also:

    Spoiler: show
    Yda was a Scion, which meant she had the Echo. After she died, Papalymo helped Lyse impersonate Yda... but the Echo isn't hereditary. So how hasn't Lyse been tempered by a primal yet? Is this a Clark Kent/Superman scenario where every time a primal appeared, it Just So Happened that "Yda" wasn't around?

    Think you're confusing the current form of the Scions with the Circle of Knowing and the Path of the Twelve. None of the original Circle of Knowing group (Y'shtola, Thancred, Yda, Papalymo, Urianger) have the Echo. After the timeskip they paired up with Minfillia's Path of the Twelve which consisted of Echo users. Krile was the only one from Sharlayan that so far has been introduced as having the Echo. Kinda makes the Scions in general dumb/ballsy for messing with Primals knowing they have no protection against tempering.

    A veritable who's who of notable secondary/tertiary antagonists are brought back by Myste to fight you and "Frey" (your dark side). They're aether shades/simulcrums formed out of the memories of those people, but still quite tangible I guess given that they can interact independently with the real world. Notably present is the entirety of the Heavens' Ward, Rhitahtyn sas Arvina, Livia sas Junius, and Ystride de Caulignont.

    There isn't any mention of Gaius whatsoever at any point, though we do deal with the fall out from Thordan's scheme and some notable Heavensward-era NPCs or their relatives. It's all pure speculation, but it would be amusing for Gaius to have been Elidibus.

    I feel like this will change soon and they'll probably come up with a way to use the Resonant technology to give the rest of the scions some protection so that we can finally move forward from "oh you're the only one who can do it" as far as primals are concerned

    Doubtful. When a character is able and available to participate, they do

    I actually thought that in order to give Fordola her new powers, they siphoned away Krile's Echo in the pod (the "stripping the piglet's fat" Zenos referred to). But apparently it was just a stasis pod?

    I think they either only needed to siphon her aether (echo being somewhat a part of it like a virus in the blood) or we will learn later she no longer has it. Maybe the hard way, lol.

    Krile couldn't be a Scion without having a disability anyway.
