Reisenjima looks gorgeous, and I'm emotional as all Hell over basically every major NPC showing up for the final installment.

Atm it still feels a bit too forced/retconned, too hasty etc. (not sure if the third and last part will change this, but I doubt it)
Regardless though, I can't deny it's a high emotional storm to see them all together, just like Prothescar said :D

Looks very promising.
At the very least it will be nice to have an actually NEW area. (as opposed to a re-skin).
Don't get me wrong, the two Escha areas are a nice addition but something we've never seen before is just better.
Here's hoping it's like La Theine Plateau-sized so we have a lot to explore :)

Volker, Zeid, Luzaf, Arciela, Nashmeira, Lilisette, Maat, Aldo, Shantotto, Ajido, Iroha, Tenzen, Curilla, Semih, Trion, Ulmia, Prishe, Gilgamesh, Lion.
And something tells me that was Altana the floating woman at some point of the vid.

Hell. Seeing Shinryu in the video has me happy. One of the best looking NMs. Now if they'd only reuse Prov Watcher as well.

I remember when I suggested something like this at the start of the year I wasn't 100% sure if they ever would make such an expansion:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/45820-New-expansion-!?p=538958#post538958
I'm delighted everyone is coming together and it will be all of currently known Vana'diel fighting to defend it, loved the action shot of Lilisette and Arceila and of course the whole NPC cast lining up.

I think it was Lilith Ascendant...

No I think the one they let us see was the real Altana.
Lilith Ascendant, after all, should look very similar to the real physical aspect of Altana.
The fact the coloring scheme was different (brown hair?) makes me think that's real Altana and not Lilith Ascendant.
Would make sense for them to finally show Altana in game considering this is the very last content patch FFXI will ever receive, no?
Kinda like a small treat for us players.

Actually no, it wasn't Lilith. The halo is blue and white and she seems to be actually wearing clothes!

I still think Iroha is going to turn out to be Altana in human form, sensing the end of the World she took human form but is sort of amnesiac and she'll awaken her memories and new powers in this update.

Actually no, it wasn't Lilith. The halo is blue and white and she seems to be actually wearing clothes! That big circle behind her back makes a lot of dicothomic synergy with Promathia's physical aspect (he has a similar circle behind his back).
So I think it's the real Altana
(don't seem to recall Lilith ascendant has a big circle behind her back? Only the small halo over her head? The one we saw in the trailer has both, and kinda brownish hair, not gold)
It could be like Tidis said though, that Iroha turns out to be the physical host for Altana's power, or something.

Yes! The Goddess Altana herself comes to Vana'diel's aid. <3 ;;;; :)

But that wouldn't make much sense seeing in the same trailer her hair turns red...?

The feels... T_T For a moment, I felt like I was about to drop a manly tear, not joking.
It is nice to see that they stayed true with the end of WotG while designing a physical form for Altana. It is hard to miss the similarities.
Also, Tenzen and the tentacles...
But that wouldn't make much sense seeing in the same trailer her hair turns red...?
I think it is more like Iroha's hair glowing red (and her eyes) due to Altana's power being unleashed in her body, rather than actually turning red in color. It appears that they just resorted to a palette swap to imply that, because you know... PS2 limitations!

This is a Wings of the Goddess major spoiler so open it at your own risk. Lilith Ascendant took a form similar to Altana's form so I am not even slightly surprised that the real Altana do look very similar (different colors though as the idea was show Lilith Ascendant as a "corrupted" Altana)...
Major noticeable detail about the "real one" in the video: There are no wings. lol

I got shivers seeing the Rhapsodies trailer. I am very curious about the Aeonian Weapons as well. Had puppetmaster mythic for a couple of years and slowly polishing off JPs so will be good to have a new potential goal.

Oh good. More Wopket. I'm sure he'll be just as faceroll easy as before. However, the Ice Tiger and Thunderbird are going to suck.
I wonder if they are going to adjust anything other than Strobe and Flashbulb for PUP...

It hit me right in the feels as well, especially the song they prepared with the March of Vana'diel...
I'm also bracing myself for the onion ninjas attack when we finally hear that same march with all the voices that a lot of players (including myself) contributed to this ending story-line... T.T
Long live Vana'diel!!!

Altana: Warrior of Light.... thanks for the subs. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to run a successful MMO.
WoL: Really Altana? THIRTEEN years, five expansions, countless threats and that's all you have to say to me?
Altana: .....want a cinnamon roll?

I'm hoping Reisenjima has a proper 'final' battle theme because that Escha stuff just won't do.

Vana'diel March Song:
今また [Ima, mata]
And then, once again
力合わせ [chikara awase]
Gather your strength,
世界を繋ごう、Vana'diel!! [sekai wo tsunagou, Vana'diel!!]
and lets everyone come together as one, Vana'diel!!
希望の旅は続く [kibou no tabi wa tsudsuku]
The journey of hope still goes on,
遥か永久に [haruka tokoshie ni]
and will be, forever more...

Have you guys noticed that Shinryu and Promathia look somewhat darker than normal? I haven't got a good look at Odin if he did appear in the video but perhaps we might fight dark versions of them during the new missions?
Remember after the chapter 2 RoV missions you get both cutscenes from Empyreal Paradox and Undersea Ruins? Volto Oscuro was there and possibly absorbing power from Odin Image and Promathia?

It looks a lot like this, which was almost certainly drawn to be Altana and not Lilith.
