Re: Something new with odin/alexander

I'm hoping Ayame and Neji as a pair get to visit Aht Urhgan, they totally need screen time.

Actually, I think Zeid would be the best choice lol! But it will very likely be Cpt. Volker.

Nice theory on Alexander, and I totally agree. I'd like to see Tenzen again too ^^b It would be awsome if he recognizes you if you've beaten COP >.>

The game has a fun little way of rescripting certain parts based on what quests/missions you've done and what's been flagged for you. I wouldn't be surprised if, when meeting Tenzen again in the TAU storyline, he would even go so far as to comment on whether or not you're a member of one of the three TAU jobs (Blue Mage especially) if you get to that point as one of said jobs. Remember, the Far East and Aht Urhgan (and her Immortals [Blue Mages]) are at war, and having a friend you helped save the world with suddenly become a member of your enemy's forces could be rather interesting.

Also, yeah, I agree, Ayame and Neji need more time "together". Anyone else tend to think there's more than just a "professional relationship" budding there under all the insults and such?

EDIT: On second thought, it would have to be Captain Volker, to keep with the current trend of each nation's official representative visiting Al Zhabi under various pretenses. I wonder if he'll take an alias as well, or just take the Bastokan no-nonsense route, and simply present himself as the captain of the Iron (Mythril, w/e) Muskateers as he is.

EDIT2: On that note, speaking of the game rescripting, has anyone else noticed "Raifalle" or "Kababba" (however Shantotto spelled her alias) making a bit of differential commenting on you based on whether you completed their nation's rank missions and gained (and held) Rank 10 in their story? I would really hate it if Volker came to Aht Urhgan and didn't at least recognize me (R10 Bastok), even if only a bit briefly more than the other two did, seeing as how I put so much work into helping Bastok get through its problems. Understandably, if he's under an assumed alias, he couldn't outright say "Hey Lilithangel, long time no see! Thanks for all the help for the nation of Bastok!", but, y'know, it'd be nice if the game at least recognized that in some way in that storyline.

EDIT3: Yeah, I edited the crap outta this post. So what? :p

Re: Something new with odin/alexander

Hmm, this thread is becoming a bit of a spoiler, killing the whole 'surprise!' jokes in Aht Urhgan.

But they do not recognize you for your achievements, but its assumed you've met Raifalle before in his other alias. And after that, you meet all of them in a meeting so it doesn't matter.

But it woulda been nice if they added something for what you completed before coming to ToAU for these CSs ; ;

The point of this thread is spoilers and speculation, don't read if you don't want

Re: Something new with odin/alexander

wait wHAT?

I"m only rank 7 sandy, and trion still didn't recognize me (despite the fact that I'm in good standing with the royal family as of rank 6)

Re: Something new with odin/alexander

I've never noticed any dialogue rescripting either. I'm nearly through with ZM's and I just unlocked DRK. Zeid didn't mention anything to me. Like wtf he was doing in Zeruhn mines when the fate of the world is balance with the Zilart.

Complete some ToAU missions, then check how many different cutscenes they are to be replayed of the same mission.

This thread is relevant and deserves more attention (beware spoilers): http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/sum...ation-you.html

Re: Something new with odin/alexander

Alexander will most certainly not be summonable, as he is fucking huge and is probably.... lowbies shouldn't see such speculation... the Alzadaal ruins. Odin is just as unlikely.

I think you guys will be stuck with Phoenix next expansion pack, if anything. Summoners don't really need new summons. Maybe improvement on half of the useless BPs or maybe improvements on keeping avatars out, but they are set otherwise.

What do you think about PUP getting something that has to do with Alexander? The story fluff released about the job history seems to implicate Alexander in the foundation of PUP.

PUP fluff....

Automatons were developed by a group of craftsmen led by Ghatsad, a Galkan puppetmaker. Ghatsad has never explained what he hoped to achieve with the creation of automatons, but rumors say that the gigantic automaton-like being that appears in Aht Urhgan's founding myth is the ultimate goal of his work. As if to underscore the truth of the rumors, it seems that Ghatsad was provided with a substantial research fund from the Imperial Treasury under the pretense of encouraging private enterprise.

I think PUP need some kind of superior frame, and they could have miniature Alexander replicas. Or SE could just reveal him some day and leave him the hell alone like Bahamut.

Re: Something new with odin/alexander

Possibly a frame or three based on Alexander. This also could come in form of Relic. Or simply, Alexander-based attachments, whatever those would be like. However, I think nothing will happen between PUPs and Alexander.

Word. Alexander is too big of a plot element to be specific to PUP in some way. The part about making some Alex Relic-type frames is exactly what I was thinking. It would have to be all kinds of bad ass to single handedly save that job though, which makes me doubtful that the whole idea will ever come to fruition. I guess I don't really care, seeing as I'll never touch PUP.

Instead of a relic weapon (or perhaps even armor)

Why not a relic frame and/or attachment(s)?
