Hello everyone, we met again, a few days ago the French ring official Twitter finally released the news about DLC, and the promotional image sent out at the same time also caused a lot of discussion, players outside the French ring set off a broken war of "who is this woman", and I flipped through the setting set, adhering to the spirit of the same "all inferences have a basis" in the three articles last year to give you this DLC forward analysis.
1. Who is this woman
The biggest focus of this controversy is the woman riding a spirit horse, supporting Mikaela and supporting Marika's arguments, and even some people think that it is a new character or Goldwin, let's compare it carefully:
(1) Marika headwear and hairstyles from various periods
Marika's headband hair accessories in each period are not the same, and the hairstyle has also changed, sometimes when it is curly and when it is straight, but basically there is a bunch of ** braids, and the hair ornaments are basically leaf branches, and the veins are relatively complex.
PS, by the way:
In my analysis of last year's article, I thought that this statue was Marika holding Marlenia and Mikaela, but now I have a new idea: because the hair ornament in this statue has never appeared anywhere else and lost Marika's iconic ** braid, the person in the statue is not Marika, but most likely the "golden" Goldwin, if you are interested, you can also go to the game to see, the headdress in this statue does not match the style of Marika's headdress.
(2) Compare Mikaela's hairstyle
All with small twisted braids, the ** braids on the back are almost the same direction.
The most important thing is that this staggered texture is not actually a headdress, but a pattern of hair braiding, which is the biggest difference from Marika in this regard, and the biggest evidence that the woman in the picture is Mikaela.
So, this woman on the horse is Mikaela.2. Inverted coat of arms
In the wasteland pictured, full of tombstones and this strangely shaped phantom, some people say that this is very similar to the ritual sword of Rondol in Soul 3, but in fact, I found it more like:
... It's okay, just kidding.
But the Soul 3 ritual sword is also a complete ring, and this plain is all downward arc.
You may think that this is nothing, nothing more than a shape that you have never seen before.
But what if I told you that in the Law Ring, almost all the pattern articles involving circles are either complete circles or arcs with upward openings, and none of the patterns are arcs of lower openings? It can be said that because of the shape of the French ring and the golden tree, almost all the articles of military buildings in the junction are arcs that open upward, and the upward is life, which is auspicious and happy, and the arc of the downward opening, I only found two, they are:
Death Lune naturally does not need to be said, here is a brief talk about Marlenia.
The coat of arms behind Marlenia is exclusive to him, and the biggest difference with the coat of arms of the holy tree is that there is an additional circle of the opening downward pattern, we can look at the coats of arms of other holy trees:
It can be seen that they are basically the same in the shape of the sacred tree, both are the iconic symmetrical five-branched form, but the difference lies in this lower opening arc of Marleniado.
I believe this was not unintentional, but deliberately added for the corrupt Valkyrie who was close to death.
So I believe that the lower opening arc in the picture is not arbitrary, it represents death together with the tombstone.3. Some other evidence
(1) Golden tree As you can see, the two books are entangled, the golden tree seems to be being squeezed by another book, the debris of the sky falls from the broken tree, and some people say that the other is Mikaela's sacred tree, which I can't quite agree with at the moment.
The appearance of the golden tree being squeezed is very similar to the appearance of the original golden dewdrop:
Relatively similar, as for whether it is right, it is a matter of opinion.
(3) Helix pattern Some people say that the spiral pattern here can be related to Mikaela, which is wrong, the spiral pattern is just a more common texture of the gold family, representing cause and effect and regression, not only Mikaela has, Marlenia has, but Marika and others also have, don't believe you see:
Isn't it more like the effect in the picture?
Well, this forward analysis is here, if there is still content to reveal later, let's take a look, maybe see you after DLC!
ps. Last year's plot analysis, friends who didn't watch it can make it up: (1)(2)(3)
