History WMG / FinalFantasyXIV

* Green Mage: It's possible that the shirt might additionally be a hint towards the Caster Job - not due to the name, or the weapons, or the fact they're turtles, but the color green. A Green Mage in this case would be a caster who specializes in poison and affliction-based spells.

* [[{{Pirate}} Corasair]]: It's speculated that the shirt is hinting that the new Job will use Scouting gear, with the TMNT representing the PiratesVersusNinja trope. The Warrior of Light is also wearing a thin sword at their hip in the teaser trailer, suggesting a possible SwordAndGun combo.

[[WMG: Dawntrail Job speculation.]]

Starting with Heavensward, we've been getting at least seven trial that come with mounts: 3 mandatory MSQ trials, 1 mandatory patch trial and an optional sidequest with 3 trials. Endwalker breaks this formula by not having the optional side quest this time and has three mandatory ones meaning in order to have the seven mounts, there is at least one last one to do. Plus, they would not pass off the chance to do a remix of Zeromus's theme.

[[WMG: Places we'll visit im the future]]

* An FF14-remix of "Birth of a Wish."

* The raid takes place within the Interdimentional Rift. Even ignoring the numerous existing FF5 references which make up the Bend of Time, Greg is frequently pulled in and out of the rift in his other cameos.

As 6.4 revealed, every shard of Zodiark died when Zodiark himself was slain on the Source. But faced with the impossibility of everything you believed and worked for gone, one of the remaining Ascians won't be able to accept the reality. Out of desperation and delusion, they will still attempt to rejoin the shard they were assigned to in the hopes that it will all somehow still work out. The Warrior of Light will have to kill them to not only save a world from destruction and prevent a Calamity, but to [[MercyKill end the Ascian's mad suffering]].

Everyone has figured out the beast form was King Behemoth but who are the other two? My guesses are Scylla (mage) and Glasya Labolas (martialist), granted they didn't exactly use the same attacks from Crystal Tower. The area is also where the real Amon was fought.

There are also superficial similarities between the two--long fair hair, deep voices, merciless in combat... Less compelling evidence to be sure, but evidence nonetheless.

The Cloud of Darkness is tied directly to the Void itself, incapable of being destroyed in its own realm. It describes itself as all consuming and is among the highest of voidsent hierarchy. The Cloud of Darkness is the first voidsent, the first mortal creature mutated by excessive dark aether and who spread its power across all of the Thirteenth Shard. This makes the Cloud of Darkness the counterpart to Eden, the first sin eater and the origin of the Flood of Light.

No longer being bound by morality, he created a plan that would sacrifice half the world's population to create a "God" to save the other half. Knowing how self-righteous Hephaistos was, the reformed Lahabrea would more than likely push this plan as the ONLY way to save the star to eveyone else, and sadly they all agreed.

* '''Jossed:''' The Pandaemonium in the atherial sea is a recreation made from a piece of Azys Lla.

And perhaps this was part of the plan: Venat knew Emet-Selch well, and remembered the Warrior of Light's time in Elpis, when Emet-Selch angrily took offense at the though of "forsaking his duty", so, as Hydaelyn, she may well have chosen a ruthless form of psychological warfare: forcing him to look into several incarnations of Azem's eyes as he slayed them to slowly grind down his resolve.

There are also superficial similarities between the two--long blond hair, deep voices, enjoyment of combat... Less compelling evidence to be sure, but evidence nonetheless.

''Hear me out.'' Zenos has always considered the Warrior of Light to be his dearest (and only) friend. The introduction of Zero in 6.2 brought with it the question of what friendship is, as she has had to learn it. When she asks if the WoL's relationship with Zenos is friendship, the dialogue choices given the WoL range from vehement denial at worst to hesitation at best--the WoL doesn't seem to consider Zenos a friend. But in 6.4, when Zero finally grasps friendship as a relationship of trust, what comes to the WoL's mind? Zenos, at Ultima Thule.

* Jossed for three, Confirmed for one. Sidequests after the story patches show the backstories of the Four Archfiends. Scarmiglione, Barbariccia and Cagnazzo were by no means heroes. Rubicante ''was'' one of the Memorite Unukalhai spoke of.

* P12 will be a battle against the soul remnants of Athena and the present-day Lahabrea, both seeking to overcome death itself to reach godhood for themselves. [[FemaleAngelMaleDemon Athena will be transformed into a divine figure while Lahabrea will be demonic]] as a reference to the Emperor from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'', who split his soul in half upon death and [[HellHasNewManagement took over Hell and Heaven.]]

* Confirmed to a degree. [[spoiler:Themis is the only one to make an appearance and technically he is only a shade using parts of Themis's soul.]]

** '''Confirmed''', as Golbez turns her into a voidsent he can control.

*** Jossed. While Zenos' plans involve Zodiark, there is no Zemus or Zeromus; Fandaniel's past life's name is Amon, and his true name as an ancient was Hermes.]

The term (technically sans ''e'', but whatever) describes both an inland march and the retreat from such. She has a strong connection to the Lifestream, explaining how Pandaemonium showed up near the Aitiascope. Why act now? As part of the Lifestream she's essentially "smeared across time", aware of her existence in the Unsundered World and Etheirys and experiencing both; she sensed us mucking up her plans by defeating Hephaistos in the past and moved Pandaemonium to the present to disorient those acting against her and to plan her invasion - at a time where the world has been rocked by the destabilizing Final Days and the Scions' supposed disbanding. Versions of the Three Paragons will be the normal bosses, while Athena herself will be the tier boss, planning to invade Etheirys with her twisted creations.

If 7.0 uses ''VideoGame/StrangerOfParadiseFinalFantasyOrigin'' as a reference point, it's likely the Lufenians are the Ancients who escaped the Final Days and started a new world. After coming back and seeing what's happened in the last several ages, they'll want to take their place back as the rightful gods of the world.

* [[spoiler: Jossed, a sidequest in 6.2 reveals the backstories of Scarmiglione and Barbariccia, and they're not the legendary heroes.]]

** Ok but isn't Azem's schtick is all about ThePowerOfFriendship something all their other shards (the [=WoL=], Ardbert, Tenzen, Ramza and so on) all have. Zero doesn't have any of that even before everything went to shit she didn't have ThePowerOfFriendship. Even Golbez uses more ThePowerOfFriendship than Zero.
