So i watched the last video that SE played for the Toyko game show even yesterday. This video IMO hits more and more that there are Avatars we dont know about, or perhaps, some of the bosses are infact avatars and not normal monsters..

There could be slight spoilers but like most my predictions threads, these are going to be kinda far off and more just for fun than anything else.


from the video i saw 2 parts that really stuck out in my mind.

1)
That new SAM npc (the talisin face) with the flaming sword is in La thaine at the same location where you trade the carbuncle ruby to summon carbuncle(SMN Flag quest). However, notice that this time each of the rocks sticking out of the ground now have a glowing light? Notice that each one matches an element.

If you ask me they seem to be preforming some kinda of super summon move. Perhaps a new summon? Im not saying we can use it, but maybe they summon one of our old favorites?

2)
Image
one of the last scenes is where we can attually see diabolos being summoned by this NPC prishe(at least i think it is lol, he could just be casting magic as she makes a stupid pose but what ever). She seems to be in a spell casting pose and diablolos looks as if he is summoned. I dont think hes going to be a player avatar but it looks as if he is an avatar indeed.

Ive been told that these misions will explain more about Dynamis. I assume diabolos will tie into Dynamis some how since he is in the missions.

another point

Every time you finish a dynamis zone you get a quick little cutscene. I seem to remember one of the dynamis zones hinting at new avatars in dynamis? Perhaps there are other avatars locaded in places other than the normal world (IE Dynamis). Even after you kill Fenrir you are told that new avatars are born all the time, Perhaps Diabolos is an avatar from Dynamis?

I think i mentioned this before, one of the posters on FFXIonline mentioned that his install funked up. It messed up but still finished. He can run the game fine, but the map names are all messed up. He was in a normal zone like the dunes but the zone title was "Dynamis - Tavanazian".

Now, what would be the point of this new zone? Couldnt be AF or relic, all that is provided in earlier zones (well not last step of relic, no one knows that yet). Could this new Dynamis zone be specifically for obtaining a new avatar? or perhaps just fighting the avatar? Thats assuming this FFXIonline poster isnt BSing me. All though ive heard rumors that there are more dynamis zones.


ok since im on a roll....

Now, lets look at bahamut

Is he really just a Wyvren like everyone says? Heres a few strong indications he is more than just the wyvren king and not a summon.

1) Hes always been the "King dragon" in the FFXI series. Being the wyvren\dragon king does not mean he is not a summon.

2) some screen shots you can see small lightining bolts traveling accross his body. Kinda like the heat waves from ifrit or the glow of most other avatars.

3) The very first cutscene (chapter one video when zoning into the tower in quifim) bahamut is summoned in what I think is a classic summoning scene. Bahamut bursts out from the ocean and roars, blah blah.
He also indicates that he is a pet to the keeper of the appocolyps(sp?). Maybe like a guardian or maybe like a summon....

The fact is i love to over read every little detail square releases because honestly, they do release big clues that hit you smack in the face long after the fact.

Remember the Dynamis hints in the Goblin Journals? Remember the hits about the Moblin home world too? I remember one of my rants like this on the VN was actually bang on with the moblin world and Dynamis. I even remember one of our japanese posters (one of my favorite posters) saying that no, there was no or would be no goblin homeworld.

anyway, if you can make sense of any of that....

Also consider that Fenrir was originally tied to the Windurst missions months before he was ever implemented as a player summon.
