The Mysteries of Vana 'Diel

[Ophannus]

Don't think the NPC had Ragnarok yet. Similarly Elvira isn't the girl in the CS that gives you Annihilator, instead it's Elrica. So some of the NPCs probably die and/or pass on their relics to others.

Moogles are Kindred not Beastmen, the wings and all the crazy powers are what give it away. There is an Elvaan NPC that even referrers to them as "those demons"

Looks like an animal, but has human intelligence. Hence beastman. One of the NPC fellows mentions them as being beastmen too.

I can swear I remember them being referred to as fairies, though for the life of me I can't remember which game it was. Thought it was this one, but I've played so many they kinda meld together >.>

Why do so many things in the game look like a Penus? Zones to monsters its creepy!

repeating greetings to the guaradian quest may require a wild melon or wild pinapple to quell the volcanos wrath.

I think it's the opposite. Unless they changed the NPCs in the CSs when WotG came out, I'd think it's because Elivira may still be alive, just not seen. Kayeel-Payeel is alive AND seen, but no longer weilds Claustrum. I always assumed the CSs were ghosts of former owners that haunt the weapon. Which brings me to Guttler. Even in the Shadowreign era Guttler is possessed. As for Elivira, I thought I read that Annihilator was a family heirloom that was passed to her. So Elrica could be Elivira's Mother, Grandmother, etc. OR could be someone completely unrelated.

The guy who supposedly has Ragnarok can be seen in San d'Oria in the past, he has a Bloodsword/Gluttony Sword. It seems like I saw a video of the Excalibur CS and Kilhwch gives it to you.

BTW How is Dynamis connected to the past? You have to get a Shard of Necropsyche which is said to be remnants of a soul trapped in Dynamis. I always figued this was the soul of the person you meet.

Well, the original lore of it was that an elite group of soldiers known as the "Hydra Corps" were sent to the assault on Xarcabard, in the end darkness swallowed the land and they found themselves trapped in the realm of Dynamis. It was originally illustrated in one of the old tribunes, and there are CS's in the WotG cutscenes that play along with this. Several of the relic NPC's that you don't see in the past are introduced in one specific CS, and shortly after, you witness the catastrophe that supposedly swallowed them. It is unclear however, how the other NPC's like Kilhwch, Mieuseloir, Lhu Mhakaracca and the other's souls ended up trapped as well. This is all based off memory, so forgive me if I have messed up on a detail or two.

*spoilers*

In CoP 3-5 Diabolos says; "I am the ruler of dreams, and within my dreams--within my kingdom of Dynamis--people can escape the harshness of reality. Emptiness consumes the body, but the soul lives on--it lives on in my world." The original story of Dynamis is about Raogrimm's companions in their expedition to the Northlands trying to put his soul into rest as his soul is tortured by the memories of what he did in the war. About Hydra Corps, you can see them in a CS in WotG storyline wearing full sets of AF2s and relic weapons. So basically what we find to wear in Dynamis are Hydra Corps equipments. I assume that the shard of necropsyche is the essence of the original owner's soul who possessed the weapon in the first place.

Why when you leave your mog house in Windurst, does the camera point at your face (in 3rd person view)?? When you're in a hurry and already have the forward key pressed, you simply zone straight back into the mog house!!
