[FFXIV] A couple small observations and speculation re: the launch trailer
EsperBot
One of the first shots in the trailer, during the opening sequence in Limsa's port, is this one, depicting Momozigo from the Samurai job quests walking up and chatting up Milala from the Rogue class quests.
AzureChrysanthemum
There is a strong implication that some of the job quest characters may not be long for this Star
EsperBot
This may suggest that the old job/class quest NPCs may actually show up in the main story?
AzureChrysanthemum
Yeah which is cool
EsperBot
Which would be cool, I'd be all for that
AzureChrysanthemum
I appreciate that they've been doing more with the NPCs like Oboro showing up in Bozja even if I find him to be extremely uninteresting
EsperBot
If so, is THIS Curious Gorge?
EsperBot
It's not Curious Gorge's armor
EsperBot
but it's clearly a Warrior and the armor fits his general aesthetic
AzureChrysanthemum
It might be yeah

On another note, at the end of the trailer, int he scenes with all the Amaurotians and Zodiark, we hear two distinct speakers: one who says "There must be a way to restore things to the way they were! To reclaim the perfect paradise we once had!" and another who says "It will be ours again! A world free of sorrow!"
EsperBot
The first line appears to be spoken by Fandaniel (possibly pre-Sundering, given his current attitude) while the second speaker is unknown
EsperBot
Possibly, given the way his line echoes Elidibus saying that his 'heart's sole desire is a world free of sorrow' right before transforming into the Warrior of Light, this is the person who Elidibus swore his forgotten oath to.
EsperBot
But what's interesting is that this line appears to be unique to the English version of the trailer.
EsperBot
Both the Japanese and French trailers just have the first speaker's line go on for longer (and I think it's a different line, too)
