While we're all waiting, here's an even more somber and melancholy cover of Footalls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgaBYiOLwnQ

Another fan put out a beautiful piano cover of the launch trailer song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lpo2h-m5VM

I already knew there's a lot of talent and passion in the community, but it's impressive to see good content before the game even lands. Do we even know the title of the launch trailer song? I must listen to the full official person asap.

Can't vouch for the exact order of these, or that I even have the songs matched perfectly (orchestrion roll names are in the data), but these appear to be the dungeons for 6.0
Tower of Zot (Tower of Zot (Endwalker))
Tower of Babil (Garlemald Express)
Vanaspati (As the Sky Burns)
Ktisis Hyperboreia (Miracle Works)
Aitiascope (The Aetherial Sea)
Stigma Dreamscape (Of Countless Stars)
Dead Ends (Endcaller)
Smileton (Carrots of Happiness)

One of the things I'm really curious about is the supposed new weapons from coffers from trials that didn't drop them in the past like innocence.

I'm wondering if we're going to get new models or what.

So, the answer to Anima's role in the story is it's a dungeon boss, the primal used to temper all the Garleans we've been seeing even in the tail end of Shadowbringers.

Also, how we get to the moon:

Hey, remember that 'Ragnarok class Internment Hulk' from Coils of Bahamut?

Just the standard dungeon boss theme for Endwalker, it seems.

Looks like the mid-expansion trials are (MAJOR spoilers): Zodiark and Hydaelen.

I’m only level 81 but I’m already starting to think that people who predicted (final boss prediction based on story up to 81) Necron would be the final boss might’ve been onto something.

The supposed leak is that that particular enemy is the second to last trial at level 89, not the final boss.

I don't know. I haven't been following the datamining 100%, I don't know if there even is in fact a level 89 trial. So yeah, your guess might be right on the money.

I hope so, if only because (possible final boss spoilers if I'm right) Necron was such a maligned final boss choice for FFIX. Seeing him come back as the final boss of something as hyped as the whole Hydaelyn/Zodiark saga would be pretty rad, especially if there's some actual setup this time around.

Anyway time for me to duck out before I learn more than I intend to!

On the other hand, it would be the funniest thing ever if, once again, Necron just kinda showed up without any buildup and was just a giant blue guy from nowhere who you fought after the logical final boss

Big spoilers incoming for the level 89 trial boss.




So the penultimate trial boss is Hydaelyn herself. She is testing the Wol.
She recites a modified, perhaps complete version of 'Hear, Feel, Think' while her big attack phase with adds is going on.
Hear...The song of creation's end...
Feel... The sorrow at hope's demise...
Think... And find your way in the darkness...
Follow your light... Or fly, my children, and never look back!
Then she does the Hydaelyn kick pose and hits everyone with Exodus.

It does sound like, from the datamining, that the last boss is actually the being responsible for the Final Days. So yeah, that could be Necron.

Alternatively, do remember that if you take things at face value, the final boss of Shadowbringers is Hades - which is true, but also not really the truth.

Ever to conquer, never to yield.


I had to log out for dinner so I didn't complete it, but there's a Several Cutscenes Play In Sequence at level 83 where Fancy Daniel shows up out of nowhere and Ascian Teleports you to Zenos for a dinner party, during which you find out you're in Random Imperial Soldier's body and your own body is slumped into Zenos' throne. (You saw this in the trailer over misleading audio.) Then Zenos teleports into -your- body and takes off for where all your friends are, and you start a 25-minute timed Escape From Garlemald duty where you're in this random rear end in a top hat's body who only has the paladin combo, Fight or Flight, and Rampart; and you have to get to your friends before Zenos (in your body) does.

I am shook.

Game is fantastic btw

Minor spoilers for estinien in thanavir.

Estinien going to Thanavir and getting ambushed by overeager indian-accented alchemists who notice all the congealed dragon blood on his weapon and that he's been infused with dragon blood ever since being possessed by NIddhog is so loving funny. They surround him like a horde of zombies who desperately want his blood.
