      It was actually pretty damn ingenious. He had me completely fooled this time. Combining both jobs into a single shirt he wore once? I mean, once vpr was revealed I thought “ohhhh. I get it. Leonardo uses dual swords, is a reptile and is green. That was neat.” And my brain shut off the flow right there. Then someone recently mentioned picto as a possibility to me and I was totally flabbergasted. I just could not make the connection until I remembered that shirt and then it was like the most obvious hint in the world 😂

    I admit the ONE disappointment I had was seeing the Shinryu skip(or restructure), since it was my most anticipated(I loved the Shinryu fight and I'm a Stormblood liker.) THAT said, I kind of know what you mean about SB's structure being very different(Shinryu was named by Domans, he's created via Ilberd's sacrifice, he's tied to Zenos who transforms into him again, etc.) I also heard another theory that they wanna save Shinryu for an Endwalker ultimate, given he did play a pretty big role there helping you save the universe and all, and they didn't want to have like, a major Shinryu presence in two Ultimates. Which has some logic to it? (I wonder what they'd DO for a 2nd Stormblood based one then, if that's the case. Four Lords maybe would make the most sense I'd say.) All that said, it makes me wonder now if they'll end up repurposing Hades or Pandaemonium given the strong Ascian/Ancient presence in both of them. (Come to think of it, if they had kept with the pattern, we'd have gotten Shinryu-Eden-Hades-Pandaemonium...two big Ancient themed ones in a row.)
    All in all tho I'm extremely hype. My arse is gonna be spending SO much time in Solution Nine. I love me some future worlds. Space exploration? Viper? Another exploration zone? Can't wait to see the mounts and such too.

    • @richardwicker8456

      I can see them wanting to save Shinryu for an Endwalker ultimate, so that the minstrel can play out a scenario with you fighting Zenos in his dragon form instead of human at the end of the universe (the dynamis will probably turn him into Neo-Shinryu or something like that).

      I think it'll have a similar thing to Dancer or Ninja, and use a combo of buttons to mix up paint colors to then use to paint a picture for an attack.
      Maybe that could be how they buff the party and debuff enemies.
      Something else they could do is spray the ground with different paintings to give buffs or mitigation to the party, or deal AOE damage.
      I could see this all, given how eager they are to curb button bloat. so if we have four colors to mix, we could have pretty much as many combinations as they want.

      Bottom line is, yes, you're definitely right. It's how writing should always be. Grimdark is always best when there's some joy to give you hope. But also, I don't think FF should be grimdark in the first place, at least not 14.

    For solution nine, a lot of people keep saying Allagan, but the architecture and theme isn't really Allagan at all in my eyes. I think it's something different or possibly branched off but not directly involved. Considering this is in the "new world", its possible that there was a completely different civilization evolving similarly to the Allagans but far removed from them. Your idea of it being a digital space is also plausible as well considering what happened when Dalamud hit the tower.
    Also if you look closely at the key art for Heritage Found, it doesn't look like a tower in the back it looks like a huge orb. Like Cocoon from FF13 or...well...another Dalamud. If that city is inside that orb as we're assuming, then I am desperate for answers.

    My theory on the space travel thing is that with Ultima Thul being the "Edge" of the universe that Dynamis is the boundary between The Source and The Rift Between Worlds. So to get to another shard the hard way first you'd have to travel to the literal end of the universe, then through the boundary between Physical and Non-Physical (The Dynamis), and THEN through the infinite nothingness of The Rift, and finally through a second Dynamis Layer to come into the other shard.
    So that could potentially be three different levels of near infinite space inorder to brute force your way from one shard's Space to another. Thus why Rift Portals are so necessary to travel between shards. Because Infinity times 3 equals BS.

    I'm excited to journey along with different characters. Scions are great, but I still don't have as much connection to most of them outside of playing MSQ. That's to say, I don't think about them enough to be like, "Y'SHTOLA BETTER BE IN DAWN TRAIL OR I'M UNSUBBING." Kinda energy. My favorites mostly consist of Estenien and G'raha. But even when we lost Lyse, who was and still is one of my favorites, I wasn't too hurt by it. I like meeting new characters. It's why I'm like, "Oh cool, Erenville is now scion-adjacent." But it also felt weird in EW that no bun boy hadmuch screen presence, so it's good that we're getting Erenville as a main character and Hrothgirl as a main character. They needed to switch it up. Let us have newer characters to get attached too. I never have the worry that they're going to give us bad new characters or boring. Every character they bring into the game has always been written well and remembered fairly well. At least, as far as I've seen.
