      Let's not forget also that the trailer was made to be watched between 5.5 and 5.55, before the end of ShB. Now everyone watches it after the end and already know who Fourchenault is, that we go to Sharlayan, etc... so that makes the trailer less revealing.

    One thing to remember about Sharlayan culture is that they born from a people that survived something that equates to the Biblical flood. That giant ark in Ala Mhigo was what their ancestors used to survive the drowning of the world when the element of water was rejoined to the Source. They have always been intimately aware of the damage a Calamity could cause and have worked tireless to survive at least a few since as a people. Few nations are as long lived on the Source as Sharlayan is.

      personally I think Fandaniel was what Zenos was supposed to be in SB, a plot device villain that only exists to move the plot and don't have much more depth than that, and they don't have to, they sometimes work better when they don't, they are like a force of nature. the problem is that characters like that can easily overstay their welcome. and now in EW we have Zenos that a HUGE plot device villain that already overstayed his welcome, and then they add another one on top of that. the thing is, Fandaniel showed up, moved the plot, and then when he wasn't needed anymore he noped out for good, and that is what was supposed to happen with Zenos. what was kinda impressive is that in the end they did managed to fix Zenos, they somehow gave him depth without the need for long flashbacks or huge dialogs, and then gave him an amazing ending that actually made him memorable. they even played on the cockblocking we kept having whenever we tried to have a decent duel with Zenos to make the ending even more satisfying.

Especially as it was using a primal so he came back and wanted to do it again with his own two hands.

    The difference in ShB trailer compared to this is that ShB was taking us to a completely new world, and our friends had already been there awhile, so there was a lot of "omg what's that? where is this? what's going on?!" By comparison, EW is showing us areas we've known about since 2.0 but are FINALLY getting to go to (Radz-at-Han, Old Sharlayan, heck even the moon was first shown in a cutscene at the end of 2.0, and in several scenes since). The only mystery we've got is why the Final Days are still happening, when we thought by averting the 8th Calamity that we'd put a stop to such things. Also, this trailer introduced the two new jobs (Alphinaud with Sage, and Zenos with Reaper). When they first released this trailer, the part with Estinien and the part with Zenos showing off his scythe weren't in it, and it released along with the announcement of Sage. Then, when they released this full trailer, they announced Reaper. So seeing the new jobs was another "teaser," on top of the hype for the areas we'd be going.

      Ppl might forget that we were in a middle of the war and ShB just pull you out of the rabbit hole into a completely different story. 5.3 actually did spoiler alert for EW when they told you about paperwork.
      The thing that most of us either prepared for what happen or just skip through it and pick what you like to see. It would nice to see if they don’t give you the dialogue options but you need to type of chat for it. That would make the conversations more natural since you need to understand what that mean. The previous seasonal event at Gold Saucer actually has multiple choices and I kinda like how you can pick to guess the options. That would be a way to do it but not happening with gameplay mechanics put in

    • @Breaker242
      @Breaker242 2 года назад +1

      its a bit of a stretch to say that going to the moon is standard or formulaic in the FF series. The only game I remember where you actually went to the moon was FF4. There was the lunar tear (or lunar cry?) in FF8 which was a astronomical phenomenon by which monsters flooded from the moon and down on earth, but neither the spaceship nor the cryo-prison of the witch that ruled the government before Laguna were ever on the moon.
      perhaps you could say FF9 did it with Terra? But Terra didnt look like anything we could culturally associate with the moon and it was just as big as Gaia, so it was less of a satellite and more of a binary planet system (which is something that actually exists in real life, where two planets are orbitally locked with each other around a shared center of mass) and so I dont think Terra can be called a moon both in the cultural artistic sense nor in the actual scientific definition

The fact it wasn't whatsoever designed for any other purpose, yet is dramatic overkill in 9/10 situations in lore power? Absolutely bonkers.

    Because it's where the Ascians based a lot of their plots from. Several times you see them just being evil while on the moon. Before Endwalker, hell before Shadowbringers, a very big running theory was that Zodiark was on the mood and we'd go there and fight him as final boss. There were a lot of the "Moons haunted" memes made with FFXIV replacements over the years.
    Also we go to the moon because FFIV.
    So there's a lot of reasons.
