which throws a wrench into a lot of RPC's head canons about aether in combat (like EVERYONE is an aether user, be it gladiator or mage.)
Think you missed these posts.
The direct quote from Y'shtola in English version is:
"As a result, I strongly suspect that his ability to manipulate aether has been compromised. Simply put, Thancred may no longer be able to wield magicks.
It would do much to explain why he chose to remain within the wilderness instead of seeking us out. He would have been compelled to rely solely on traditional methods of travel, significantly prolonging his journey. And when he learned that..."
As I posited earlier, teleporting requires great deal of actual supply and -control-. Wielding and manipulating aether and magic may be a completely different deal than aether being unconsciously or subconsciously to enhance one's body. A lalafell vs a roegadyn or a highlander in physical combat for example. A lalafell would not be concentrating so much to wield or manipulate aether so much so that the nature of a race is to just use what -we- consider to be super human feats.
Or you know, it's just natural to do those we consider super-human and aether is doing jack squat.

No i saw the post alright.
But so far there's really nothing saying that aether is needed to pull superhuman feats. Heck i even remember people don't know how DRG do their jumps. They just chuck it up as aether. Lalafell seem to be an exception if anything rather than the norm.
But when you think about it everything in game that requires the use of aether has had some prequisite notice either visually (you see it) aka teleporting or text wise.
When Raubahn kicked that pillar and thancred fought the WoD there was no hint of any aether being used at all.

The Vanu Vanu tribe quests told me I was like a feather in comparison to them so that is why I should go and help otherwise the cage would break.
< Lalafell.
That's just rude. :>

It looks like people have gotten the /sundrop dance!
I AM LIKE 3-4 DAYS BEHIND AND I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS
You can see it in action here!

Note that this dance is based off the Maori Haka, which has slight differences between the male and female versions. This is also reflected in-game with the Vanu Vanu when you see Lani and Lanu dance together.

Right, so when I initially finished 3.0, I thought that maybe our character had an evil doppelganger who would end up being the Warrior of Darkness, considering that the CG trailers and stuff focus on the generic Warrior of Light, and the silhouette at the end of 3.0 mirrored that.
But now there's not one, but 5 Warriors of Darkness, and the leader is our one and only widely recognized Hyur! :o
Which brings me to my next question. All the cinematics we've seen so far, and the midlander we saw in them, well, are those cinematics supposed to represent the generic Warrior of Light, our characters, or was it this Warrior of Darkness all along?
Another thing that's been bothering me since the Warriors of Darkness have appeared now, and because they're sided with the Ascians for some reason, is that what if our character, the Warrior of Light, is unknowingly doing something wrong. Something that they have yet to listen to or learn, that the Warriors of Darkness know, which is why they are with the Asicans. It also fits in for me as to why Urianger is even willing to enter into discussions with the Ascians who have so many times caused us so much trouble, and potential deaths, and a death in the case of Moenbryda!
I'm so so confused now, someone needs to clarify this for me. Square Enix, you're making me lose sleep trying to come up with answers!
On a side note, did the Miqo'te Bard WoD have a unique hairstyle, or am I not paying attention to the available hairstyles much?
RE: [Spoilers] 3.1 MSQ and Others Discussions - Kage - 11-23-2015
Found someone who recorded a video of the meeting.

For now I'm going to separate our groups into these: Answers WoL, WoD, and us.
Answers WoL includes Hyur WAR, Roe PLD, Miqo BRD, Lala WHM, and Elezen BLM.
WoD includes this same very team but their armor has been augmented and dyed.
Don't know if Answers WoL = WoD but we know that WoD experienced the same thing as the Answers WoL. We even see the WoD fighting Ascian!
Here's a pic of the Answers WoL Miqo Bard

And here's the female hairstyles. I would say it is likely to be one of the three haircuts (difference is in the hairband color). Can't confirm atm because in these vids her hat is adding to the limited visibility.

Not enough leg movement on the female Miqo'te ;w;

Didn't realize I'd be doubleposting oops
RE: [Spoilers] 3.1 MSQ and Others Discussions - Sini'to Shadar - 12-17-2015
Yeah, personally i believe the whole Urianger deal is something along the lines of "There is more to it than the Ascians simply being the bad guys, there is a not-so-small aspect that the WoL and the other Scions don't know but which is super duper important, yet i cannot tell them about it for reasons."
Some sort of side aspect mission only Urianger can do, which runs parallel to the story and no one would understand even if he tried to explain, so its his to bear alone. And which will probably get revealed some time later as some big twist.
Probably something along the lines of "Where there is light there HAS to be darkness", some balance shebang, like someone said the ascians might be something akin to forces of nature. Who knows.
