As a Southamerican who is also part native (Tehuelche) Im very impressed with the research they have made. Urqopacha is a straight up Quechua name: Urqu (Mountain) Pacha (Land, Planet, Earth) and since this part is very close to the Andes Altiplano it makes a lot of sense. The natives of those parts, who are the descendants of the ancient Incas are smaller than usual people due to the high altitude and low oxygen there. Also the Pelu Pelu kinda wear Andean attire so it is definitely a fictionalised version of them. Now as the for the giant tribe it also rings familiar since it sounds how the Spanish described the Tehuelches since they were a lot taller than the average european of the time (over 6 feet tall on average - my great grandpa was 6’9! - I’m barely 5.2 tho, the tall gene skipped my generation lmao) and the spanish were also a bit prone to exaggeration = giants lol Patagonia basically means “big feet people land”. Now while those two peoples are from different regions and other than some trade and a few related traditions, for how CBU3 seems to fuse cultures together it makes sense to make the giant people and the smaller inhabit the same fictional but not so fictional space. I’m sooo very excited for the new expansion and hopefully they add an ACTUAL Poncho to the game without sleeves, cos a poncho with sleeves is not a poncho, it’s a sweater! A PONCHO SHOULD NOT HAVE SLEEVES… and yeah THAT’s my sole pet peeve with XIV lol
they may not be able to add a real poncho because of the skeleton animation, especially one that covers the arms and shoulders, its also why off shoulder clothes are super rare
Something I wanna point out in reference to F!Hrothgar is the voice at the end of the trailer. A feminine one in both English and Japanese. Given we’ll be meeting the person in 6.55 more than likely, I would bet on two things: This being a female Hrothgar that requested us, and for the official reveal at the next FanFest.
I figured it was just Krile to be honest. The person who said 'My Home' was Erenville. Who is probably our person. The female voice is unique in the Japanese trailer, but in the English one, it is just Erenville.
@@iceman3317 It's not Krile (at least in the English one) the person speaking has a totally different accent to Krile and it's not deep enough to be Erenville who ever is speaking is someone we haven't met yet
Yeah I know it isn't in English. But I'm not sure if it isn't Erenville in English. Because it is about the same voice at least for me.. maybe I need to play that back to back. I will however say that there is a Lalafell at the wheel of the ship if you look close enough. But there is someone in the back of the ship as well, but I don't know who that is.@@Amylou142
So our dnd group had just started our expedition on chult for toa right before the trailer released. We were thrilled that the new expac basically takes us to 14's chult. Hyped as heck.
Oh 4:03 a divide in the Scions? Like physically? Spilt up to do separate tasks in different areas? Or is there a dispute? Clashing points of view? Like Tacos Vs. Burgers?
Giant and smaller races... suddenly I am getting a Gulliver's Travels vibe... We may possible see a horse race too, like centaur race. Possible another floating city (Laputa) as the golden city they mentioned, and possibly be Elpis in our current time.
We might still get Meracydia in Dawntrail because they only announced two zones. My personal predictions for the other 4 zones are 3 for Meracydia and one for the 13th.
Maybe the chosen for the new ruler might be the same with the Nier Raid. The part where we have to chose between the twins i mean. It is possible that we, the WoL can chose which contestant we chose and to most WoLs who followed their contestant, will be crowned as the new ruler of Tural?
Imo location looks like lower north america, central america and south America Peru and Brazil ( literally peru has that rainbow hill and brazil has the amazon forest)
There's also a good chance we'll go to the Northern part of Tural in 7.0 as well. It's likely still clouded as they don't want to spoil anything too early.
From the shots they were showing it looked more like we would be delving underground. Which, makes sense given the secret tunnels of the Inca, and the Inca in general having one of the most impactful myths about a city of gold in history. Though notably we also have the southern tip of the continent covered as well…
In Old Sharlayan you cannot swim, but there's water. It will be the same in Tuliyolaliuyuylillautu :D (so hard to say for me xD) I am curious if the Gilgamesh is somehow related to Giants race, or is it more about Gigas'es. Also, that plateau looks like a Smily face with one eye bigger :D
right it feels weird we can't swim there. especially when i look back to reach area in storm blood. i miss having mounts in cities area like reach & idyllshire.
Yoshida was asked how longthe new world arc would last and he said they have potentially two expacs worth of story depending on patch cycles so the northern part could be a follow up expac
That is the story over all though. It may not just the new world. I do think more New World will be part of it, not to mention we still have 4 zones. But if the area we know take up two, possibly three to the south. There is room for about 4 zones at the least in the north and maybe 2 in the south. Plus another zone for that large island just off the coast of the New World. We will probably still likely go to Meracydia in the story arc given it is now on the map and about big enough for 3 or 4 zones. My guess is before Fan Fest, going by the size was there is likely 8 to 10 zones in the new world. And 3 or 4 in Meracydia. 3 Areas have been mentioned in the past by Ilsabard. And Othard still has a massive amount unexplored which I guess was also about 10 zones. And Hingashi has about 2 zone un explored. All together that is about 25 zones possible with what we see. So I don't think the entire arc will span just the New World.
Hey meoni, v informative video as always! Tiny note on pronunciation (no one has gotten it right yet admittedly) : it's a really uncommon word but cenote is a Spanish word that is actually pronounced "se - no - teh "
The easiest answer for the "why us? Of all people" maybe has to do because of the "ex-scions" fame as solvers of political conflict... if we backtrack a bit to the very end of 6.0 that would not be too crazy, but still needs some what of and explanation.
That or the request was for the Students and there just isn't enough people so Krile asks the ex scions to help since afterall... They are still Sharlayon scholars.
I don't think we are only exploring toral in new world . call me crazy, but I don't think there's enough room for 6 zones. I think we are going North for more of the zones.
North is much larger and I kinda expect it to be later on. Total, I'd say there is room for around 10 zones in the New World. Normally I'd say we would go to the north, but I don't want it to end up like North Othard. Better chance of us going south first, which is a smaller area.
Personally I just want the zones to be BIG and unlocked over time. Overall less zones but the size and dense amount of content making it even itself out.
I'd prefer more zones than large zones. It would just take too long to get to places, especially if they only put one or two aetheaytes up. We've always had 6 zones not including extra area like Bozja/Eureka, so I don't expect them to put out any less than 6. I expected them to more likely put more out. But I just don't see us moving away from 6. Not to mention the lag it would cause with more people in a zone even with instances.
People always want big zones, but then they complain about too much travelling, as most of the content for the sake ofour time is locked behind the instances. I prefer more zones with lore .... BUT - I wouldn't mind if they try One Bigger Zone (like a Mega Zone) if they would have any ideas how to keep it interesting and useful for players, that is not an instance like Bozja/Eureka :)
Sure it looks nice and all but what's there really to "explore". The gameplay side of things needs a big overhaul as far as the open world is concerned. The villages can look as nice as they want to, ultimately you want have anything to do in them. Same with XVI.

They did explicitly say the team will focus more on proper cultural representation so I for one am glad to hear they probably succeeded

I tried to confirm if the Japanese voice was Krile or not, but I couldn't find any voice lines for Krile in Japanese.

Hey Meoni the pelupelu race is from FFX-2 thats also where your screenshot of Tobli is from I Love the video! can't wait for future ones!
Urqopacha gives me that strange south American Andean mountain range vibe.
So our dnd group had just started our expedition on chult for toa right before the trailer released. We were thrilled that the new expac basically takes us to 14's chult. Hyped as heck.
I feel the new class will be a new take on geomancer like sage was
Oh

Pretty shocked that we are not going to Meracydia, I was so convinced lol. But anyways, the new zone looks beautiful !
Also it said "Multiple" new classes versus two, so I am wondering if they are going to add more, maybe 2 unlimited and 1 limited job?
Meoni, any speculation to what the humming sound is in the trailer when the Mamool Ja emerge into the clearing, right before Estinien appears? 🧐
Giant and smaller races... suddenly I am getting a Gulliver's Travels vibe...
We may possible see a horse race too, like centaur race.

I would like to see the practitioners of blue magic
The Blue Valley is in the New World so we’ll get there probably - they did promise BLU updates didn’t they

they may have needed the verticality, and may have some beach area to wade into, it depends on what they mean by swim
@astarothk2273 had not considered that. I would like a new jump puzzle if so.

A forested area with a lower and higher level? Guild Wars 2's Tangled Depths? Nightmare Navigation map here we go!
Maybe those cracks are the result of an earthquake cause by Bahamut or another Calamity?

I am still praying to the God's it's not a pirate job..
The new continent looks like South America
Wait, whaaaaaaat??
All I know we are NOT going to Meracydia.
1st :)
