Surely that giant mecha thing that looks like Lugae isn't the Hildibrand Trial? :dogstare:

And another Blue Mage spell confirmed. Hopefully it's not just some 220 potency thing I'll never use.

I guess it would have to be someone like Hancock, since they have to follow you around inside. Someone like Hien or Gosetsu isn't going to stand back and watch you fight a bunch of monsters without jumping in to help.

Not yet, but the last quest set hinted at one.

Now that I see Asura is in-game, it might be her as the boss since Lugae was hinting at summoning a Primal and she does fit the aesthetic of Thavnair.

That boss looks way too serious for a Hildy boss fight unless things get real goofy once the fighting begins.

For Asura, it's Gilgameshing time!

Actually, she does appear to have multiple arms holding weapons...

I've seen suggestions that Asura might be either Meracydian (she's got Sophia assets), which would mean she'd fit in perfectly with a potential Meracydian 7.0, or Thavnairian, in which case she would, weirdly, fit in to the allied tribe quest.

...but also worth noting, the most famous fight treated like this previously was Odin, who wound up being pretty unrelated to basically anything anybody knew at the time.

two trials

I'm claiming technically correct on this, cause even if the asura fight isn't on the live servers it'll still be done using 6.4 job adjustments.

Someone knocked them out briefly to get the Abyssos upper body separate from the robe bottom and they are still pissed about it almost a year later

I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

Looks like the Duty Support special cast for Stormblood will include Lyse and Raubahn. Rad.

Also I guess we'll be fighting some kind of ice Warframe in the new raids.

Every raid set released for EW has been mostly white except for abyssos and (some of) aglaia

Oh, I think I was going to try to get that Warframe but the new zone gave me motion sickness so I had to take a break.

asura has the same general vibe as sophia, including arena, so i'm pretty sure this locks us in to meracydia if she's 6.5

I mean Asura is a concept from Hindu lore and "Gilded Araya" almost definitely refers to a Sanskrit word for evil spirits (which is what an asura is)

It would be intensely bizarre if she had nothing to do with Thavnair

e: also as cleritic pointed out the last time they did this trial preview thing was with Odin in 2.5, who didn't exactly turn out to be MSQ relevant in any way

in fact, it's a good thing that the armor is dev designed, because I don't have the heart to tell a user who submitted robes that got accepted to go die

Trying to look on the bright side... at least they look a bit armorish?

But like jeez CBU3, I get they want gear to fit a theme and Caster/Healer are usually recolors, but give us something that's not a dress for once. Tank armor also feels like they give us armor with skirt too much.
