      YES FINALLY someone understands. Nezarec looked a lot more "hive-like" in the cutscene with his original body. He was much more slender with four fingers on each hand with claws. I believe the only piece of him The Witness was able to get was his head. I'm thinking we never see Tormentors until Lightfall because there was some sort of power transfer or gene splicing between Nezarec and the Tormentors. Nezarec was probably used to give some abilities or DNA to the Tormentors and in turn was being regenerated the same way they create Tormentors.

    I bet we'll get Vex for The Final Shape. The Sol Divisive have been more of a focus lately & it would make sense poetically that the enemy we fight in D1 Vanilla in the end is the same faction we fight at the beginning. Also, the Vex have a lot to do with the Dark and Light, as well as being one of the oldest organisms in Destiny. Then you have all the expansions we've received over the years, we're due for another Vex themed expansion since the last one was Splicer, all the way back in Beyond Light.
    With that said, I wish we'd have gotten a new enemy faction when the Pyramids arrived, because all of these proxy armies (Scorn, Taken, Cabal Clones, Wrathborn, Xivu Hive, etc) feel like they're "Well we don't have anything else to use at this point, it'll have to do". Even Nezarec laughs at the Cabal in his own raid LOL. I do not feel threatened at all by any of them, other than the Tormentors of course.

    Fallen themed Witness unit - A short but nimble foot soldier that may be physically weak, but uses a wide range of attacks and weapons, as well as moving all over the place. From scurrying across the floor to climbing up the walls and even hanging down from the ceiling.

    I wanted to clear this statement at 3:32 , Tormentors are NOT "technically speaking and lore-wise reskinned psions." "Nezarec was once a psion" is completely NOT true, there was never a mention of either of these statements in lore... Tormentors are Darkness constructs, meaning they are completely Darkness, they have no affiliation to psions. They follow the Witness and only the Witness.
    Tormentors have similar abilities because they are theorized that they are clones of Nezarec's power, thus why the Witness kept his head and only now we see tormentors, since the witness only recently has gathered Nezarec's head as seen in RON.
    Psions once worshipped nezarec and his capabilities. Void is not specifically light, it is only the imagination of humans and physical that we can wield it. This is why psions, Nezarec, and Tormentors can use void. Since wielding void is possible for non paracausal species, psions learned the way to use void like Nezarec. Nezarec was NEVER a psion, he never had MULTIPLE lives. He only has multiple tombs because his limbs were scattered by the elliskni for its paracausal power. He has tombs because some Elliskni wanted to seperate from Nezarec.
    The only affiliation Nezarec has with psions are that Nezarec once haunted the lives of the psions to live in people's nightmares, to grow. This made the psions worship Nezarec at one point. That is all, just wanted to correct a mistake, I enjoyed the video! Hopefully we see a new race soon

      @@ShadowEclipse777 The Black Garden Vex only developed the means to suppress Saint's Light specifically because of how dangerous he was. There's been a handful of other cases where a Guardian's Light was taken away from them, either temporarily or permanently. The closest case would be Zavala when he temporarily lost his Light during Risen, I think. The Psion insurgents managed to create a bullet that suppressed the effects of Light temporarily.
      But now that I think back on it, the Vex being tied to Strand could also work. Sever as an effect unique only to the Vex could cut off a Guardian's connection to the Light. Or perhaps the third and final Darkness subclass interacts with Light in some "anti-thesis" way.

    Then for the last shot, a Legion of Aphelion from all shapes and sizes, shrouded in shadow and a green hue of the swamp, and all trudging through the muchbtoward the camera before a loud screech is heard and then the camera cuts to black.

This line sets an expectation, one of these things is so dangerous you cannot even think of killing It, and survival is almost impossible. As such, It would only fit as part of a raid encounter in which you are stalked by an Aphelion, you Only catch glimpses of It in the darkness and you have to stall It enough until It loses its interest with you and leaves you alone.

It also makes sense narratively that the Aphelion could be "hiding" given the forces at play in Sol, and once those threats are gone, they may emerge. Similarly to possibly more Ahamkara who have been rumored to be in the further reaches of the system, and likely exist still outside the system.

    First with the scorn, yes technically they are fallen but they don’t really look like fallen and they have completely different enemies (like screebs and abominations + more) and mechanics compared to the fallen which means bungie actually had to make all that from the ground up.
    Next are the Taken, while they are direct reskins of other enemy races, they have very different mechanics then each enemy they parallel. Like taken ogres having knock back, taken goblins having shield beams, taken psions able to duplicate, taken nights able to shoot flames, and dont get me started on taken phalanx… but yea again those are all new mechanics that make you have to play different by prioritizing different enemies to succeed
    And lastly tormentors, id say it’s extremely unfair to say that they are basically a different version of psions. They are literally completely new enemies made from the ground up.
    All in all id say people need to give bungie more credit because they are still updating enemy races to give them different units that they were previously missing like in warmind when they added hive sniper acolytes (which kinda when unnoticed by the community) and also as said in the video stuff like fallen briggs.

There is also that weird plant substance that was introduced in DMT exotic quest. But who knows, as much as I like playing the game, I'm kind of jaded that they would put anything substantially new until after the final shape (but still incredibly skeptical) or give us a solid chunk of content like how they did with forsaken.

    The Fallen are Scavengers on the verge of extinction, The Hive are magic-wielding moths with a medival type society, The Cabal are Ancient Rome but Hippos, and the Vex are Machines that you can’t tell are from ancient pasts or distant futures.

    I like the lore about the Aphelion and those wet creatures but been hearing that those wet creatures are actually hives but maybe new version made by Xivu Arath herself or the last proto hive in lore

    They should put a couple of new enemy race sometime during finale shape to introduce them then the rest during new beginning

    Gambit should incorporate the new boss enemies.
    Give me a hive light bearer and tormentor high value targets. That would be neat

    The darkness race need to be so powerful and mysterious. They've been building up to them since Day 1 of Destiny 1.

      It's not gonna happen. Arrivals and Beyond Light should have made it very clear Bungie messed up the opportunity to have aliens pilot the Pyramid ships. Instead they made the damn things empty, then in TWQ they introduced Disciples that pilot them and left it at that.
      I highly doubt we will ever see a "Veil" type pyramid enemy race. That's why I'm banking on the Aphelion instead. They are so interesting, and a really good candidate for a new Saga big bad

      @@aksula-1 Honestly yeah, I gathered they wouldn't do it the moment they made the Pyarmid ships hollow. I was expecting them to be full of enemies but nada. Lightfall also just kind of killed off all the hundreds of ships he had without ever mentioning it lol. I WISH they did what Warframe does after a big story event and had the ships and factions linger and move around after the fact. Makes the word feel so much more alive.

    I honestly hate that you said “fallen, darkness, hive, light, cabal, darkness, and the vex…” darkness?? If there’s a repeating pattern that you recognized why would you not assume the vex get the light or at least some simulated form of it. They’ve been after the veil for forever now and it’s theorized the veil has some sorta connection to the traveler. Maybe through the veil the vex can achieve this form of light

    The Aphelion concept art seems kinda like The Root from Remnant. It would be cool to see them and other weird lore creatures in the Final Shape, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

    We should have creatures that look like guardians but use Stasis and Strand. We should call them Hollows. Dead Guardians brought to "life" by the witness. Like the Black Lanterns did to the DC heroes
