With that Echo vision, consider also how stories may change over time. You rode into the city on Midgardsormr after the Dragonsong war. And then a white dragon saved a little girl. So after a number of retellings, you rode in on a white dragon to save a little girl. And there was probably a dog too.
Whoever did the edit at 6:36 deserves to get paid. That transition is on a completely different level than anything else I've seen so far with FFXIV videos.
And then there is the Topic of an Past Hero being the Villain to another Future Hero... Though tbh, if I would be in that Situation I would probably Question my Actions and it's consequences
"Maybe this'll cheer him up." "So, Minfilia's gone then?" Nope. He did things Emet can't explain. There'll be a post-MSQ optional dungeon that explains the how. From a guard right outside the tower. Don't miss it. "He looks very approving." Emet is a good boy. The whole soul thing is spooky. If you took a person, split their soul into 14 pieces and put each piece in a body would you consider those 14 people to be... people? Or something lesser? Emet does the latter. Aww, you didn't talk to Emet at the end there.
It's so well done though... Making you question everything all at once. The few little bits that are there are just barely enough to know where you are, and loosely what they're talking about. But you don't know who they are, or what's happening, or why they're there, or what their goal is.
Hmm, Kyle, I'm thinking the song you were starting to sing near 4:10ish is older than you...but it's definitely a good one. And yes, Mama Y'shtola. So much like the one who taught her, and gets more like her as she gets older, doesn't she? (And I find the actual Matoya refreshingly direct...) I will say mark in your minds for later what you picked in your room...
I haven’t seen the stream, but can anyone say if they talked to Emet in the Ocular right after this? The things he says aren’t crucial but certainly are interesting.
I don't know if anyone's mentioned yet, but the Echo was a vision of the Eight Umbral Calamity Black Rose would cause if you aren't victorious on the First.
It still shocks me how nobody realizes, your echo is ALWAYS THE PAST, it’s SOMEONES past, and they played the noise telling you hey, it’s the echo *spoilers for 5.0* That told me immediately the exarch was from a future, the character is shorter and he’s the last person we spoke to, aka what happens with the echo, turns out I was right, they gave the clues but nobody puts it together
