It helps to be a content manager for a game based on all the FF games. XD
Now one other thing: The Archons. We're told that they're supposedly the terrestrial representation of the Twelve, yet we never see twelve of them. There's Louisoix, Urianger, Papalymo, Yda, Y'shtola, and Thancred. That only represents half, and I've spent some time wondering -which- of the gods each one represents. It's never really clear, but they most definitely know a Hell of a lot more about what's going on than any of them ever let on, not to mention they're more powerful than they usually show us.
-They all have a cool teleport effect. -Y'shtola can conjure a nice, strong protective barrier and, as we see in the end, so can Louisoix. Most likely a Conjurer, even though she has more Limsa ties than she has with the Conjurer guild. -Thancred is a badass with knives, but we don't see him do anything fancy aside from that, and for a self-professed bard, he lacks a bow and never uses any songs. He's a charmer, sure, but he strikes me more as a silver-tongued thief. -Yda… can stop bullets wih her fists and occasionally display some intelligence. -Urianger, we know is an Arcanist, and I'm hoping his displayed abilities to summon monsters to fight for him, as well as some of his unique spells, will be what we see with the Arcanist job. -Papalymo can also create a barrier of sorts. In the beginning of the Grid storyline, it protected him and Yda when they fell from an airship. He's either a black mage or a thaumaturge, but we don't see him do much else. -Louisoix is perhaps the most interesting of the bunch. Although he carries a staff with the emblem of Thaliak the Scholar on it (Thaliak being the guardian deity of Sharlayan), he manifests the emblem of Althyk the Keeper when he teleports the party away at the end of the FMV. Althyk is the keeper of time, and not known to intervene directly in the affairs of mortals as much as some of the other gods might. I think we're going to find out our good friend Louie would be classified more as a Time Mage, and he's probably a hell of a lot older than anyone realizes. This is why he knows so much more about the Primals and, ultimately, about Dalamud and how to deal with it. And it's also how he's able to send the party "through time and space".
Well the future is pretty clear then - spamming the labyrinth countless times for some nice drops with ridiculous drop rate. Probably ignoring "loot bag" and going straight to your inventory and sure enough lost if you have one already :D Would be surprised if they change that lols So there's that, and pimping your houses and growing chocos while recruiting for the labyrinth i guess :D Can't wait :3
Here's a handful of caps from the final FMV and a few random ones from various personal moments. I'll be adding more at a later time. These are stored on my photobucket account along with a lot of random other stuff and some much older caps from XI.
