New "A Shantotto Ascension" Trailer Goes Live! (10/29/2009)

You seem to make the assumption that shantottos good half wont be evil.

Anyone else reminded of a Ren and Stimpy episode? Ren's two halves were evil and indifferent.

I'm reminded of a few things like that, but I can't put my finger on them lol

Generally, I think there'll be a good half because 1) The first trailer shows the shantotto in white (which is generally a "good" color) curtsying, (which shantotto never does) which is obviously a polite gesture, which is odd, since she normally sees herself above everyone else, and the plot says shantotto's behavior is more outrageous and shocking than ever. 2) It shows two shantotto's fighting, so I assume the white dressed one would be opposed to the world domination of the black dressed one (black being typically an "evil" color).

I could be wrong, but I'll laugh if I'm right.

...No one commented on the two GIANT FUCKING SHANTOTTOS FIGHTING?!

Sold.

Wait... people actually care about the storyline? Let alone Shantotto.

Anyway... man this is a tough one for me augment wise since I see 3 ideas for COR and one for PLD.

COR I could get R.Acc/R.Atk for ranged TP, Accuracy/Haste for melee TP, or M.Atk/M.Acc for QD (Assuming M.Acc effects it, but lets save that discussion for another place.)

PLD I could put Physical Damage Taken and something else on it for a bloodtanking piece. However I'm hardly on PLD outside of soloing, even then my skills have got rusty.

[Shenrien]

what zone was that CS taken place in? Yhoator Jungle? I hope not D: I get lost on that damn jungle even with apradar up sometimes.

[Corrderio]

It's the jungle connected to the temple, forgot if that was Yhoator or not, all I know is I'm glad I got an empty lantern on me for the worst case scenario.

[Shenrien]

I thought so.. well time to go hit up temple of ugly pie to get me some lantern, it looks like there is a CS down by leviathans crystal and no doubt the last battle will take place behind the 4 lamp door... fuck :\ at least I can solo that on NIN fairly easily.

[Spira]

involved areas appear to be...

Windurst, Horutoto Ruins, Cloister of Tides, Den of Rancor, Sacrificial Chamber, Yhoator Jungle, Qufim (or Behemoth Dominion) and Full Moon Fountain.. based on this trailer..

and if u consider the previous trailer, 1 cermet related place. could be Delkfutt/Feiyin/Romaeve probably

White is the colour of DEATH in Japan. So the good side is evil idea still stands!

Fei`yin, because Delkfutt and Ro`maeve is too close.

[Khajit]

Fei yin would enable people to do ACp missions at the same time.

You go and you fucking die OK?

Also I think the Domina Shantotto are summoning/creating a clone Shantotto. Or the splitting of Shantotto's personality might be caused by them.

All I fucking wanted was some pants with STR for my RNG. Looks like i'm making more COR gear I guess......

Pahluwan?

I'm going to start referring to the evil one as Ottotnahs, harbinger of the Taru-pocalypse (also known as Taru-narok). And, I'll bet she starts out much stronger than the "good" side, because Shantotto-prime isn't half-evil, but more like 3/4.

[Omniyoji]

I have no idea what you just typed but that avatar coupled with that name is distracting

[Ninjiz]

hmm, i'm having a hard time figuring out what to select.
Can someone point me in the right direction if I have:

Blu: Enkidu legs, Homam legs
Cor: Skadi legs, Denali legs
Pup: Usukane legs, Enkidu legs
Smn: Evokers+1 legs
Dnc: Etoli legs, Enkidu legs

You are in a similar situation that I am in. I am going Haste +3% and accuracy because COR PUP and DNC always need accuracy and the haste is sweets. With the finding that the avatar accuracy enchancement is +14 ish on the spats, there really isn't a good smn option other than creating a subpar movement speed pant option or a highly situational piece.

[Ninjiz]

probably rule pup outta that for me, unless I shouldnt be TPing in Full usu?
