Seems like they're preparing a new part of Time Temple.

my post meant "why would you assume that they didn't pineapple everything up?"
I'm not even sure what I'm typing half the time.

Because there are similarities that make sense. And fucking up doesn't just happen, there had to be an intended plotline before the later pomegranate that caused the pineapple up.

Guys, instead of looking it from the story point of view, like I think it should be seen, you are debating Freed style and hair. I'm pretty sure is Freed, and I doubt that Evan will meet Mercedes soon in the story. But perhaps Afrien calls for Mercedes and tells her of the Hero Succesor.

And now that Aslemn told that, well, maybe we didn't saw the Black Mage at all, but the hooded character in the trailer was Akyrum? Seems way more possible.

Okay, so tell me how the story point of view leads you to conclude that it is Freed and not Evan. Evidence please, not feelings.
