NIGHT TIME!!

[Warlock]

That's a cool idea too: having remnants of Dalamud in the sky. I've been trying out Aion the last few days while I wait for beta and this reminded me of the moon there. Having a mini red version of this as a remnant of Dalamud complete with floating rock chunks swirling around would be sweet.

It could also be cool to have different Deity/Primal constellations depending on what elemental day or month it is. Occasionally bringing back things like auroras or meteor showers is also great.

In the end, I think what it needs is something I'd never be able to see in real life - something fantasy. Having a starrier sky with some nebulas is definitely a good start as many can't go out and see that since they live in cities. But even something as simple as two moons is something none of us can ever see outside our own windows. Not having something fantastical in the sky seems like a waste of potential.

That's impossible lol Bahamut blew Dalamud up to a million pieces and it scattered all over Eorzea when he flies down to start the rain of fire theres only a huge cloud of red dust up there

The bolded seems like a great idea! If they do add days of the week back (which I hope they do) or even months, it'd be great if they added something like that in the sky to complement it. It'd be a very neat little detail.

I don't know about you other old Xi'ers, but I spit gingerale on my monitor laughing when I read the bit about moonphases, hehe
"Ah, but will facing north-by-northeast at 2:45 a.m. while the moon is a waning crescent result in a 27% increase in your chances to synthesize HQ mythril ingots!? That is real the question!

I got a huge laugh out of that too XD. I remember having my compass and charts open in the background, flipping back and forth in between synths XD.

Since the moon in the pic is mostly empty (kinda like a broken egg shell) my suggestion was maybe there was a small bit remaining after that explosion (maybe even only floating chunks). Regardless, I agree with you that the end movie and these new beta night pics confirm there's absolutely nothing left. The Dalamud remnant idea was just a "what-if" thing we could've put in the sky.

If you're anxiously awaiting the next blog update, you'll be happy to know that we spoke to the project manager who told us that she would be doing her best to update the blog 1-2 times a week, which means Ferne and Pinurabi better stay on their toes!
