How so? I mean we saw some undead Amdapori and Mhachi enemies but I figured they were just your standard undead, not a successful attempt at bringing the dead back to life, unless the former actually is what you were implying and I misunderstood- I felt like there wasn't much lore revealed in the new dungeon (as much as I loved what we got) so I'm feeling like there must've been something I missed somewhere.
First: Yeah, when he stopped me to ask to get beers later I immediately thought of Mike the Helicopter Pilot from RE4. The man's DEAD. Not to mention, that transparent foreshadowing in the closing narration of Ishgard about to pay its deepest price, with a long shot on Aymeric's stoic face while that is stated.
Second: We've seen zombies before, but the dead White Mages and Black Mages were legitimately using those techniques in combat, not just being limped around zombie dead guys. It's not unreasonable to assume they're not the same as the corpses running around Tamtara and the like.
