Just how far in the past could we go? Prehistoric? The Begining?

[kingfury]

Just some questions this time.

To this very day in zones like Tahrongi Canyon (and it's Abyssea counterpart) and the Altepa Desert, while rushing past to reach NMs and other points of interest, players have wonderful visual links to the very forgotten and mysterious distant past. The massive ruins of the Altepa Desert that all but speak to us about the days long passed. It's Galkan civilizations and culture only living on through the crude glyphs and tattered monuments throughout select halls and corners beneath the sand. The monumental and well preserved Dino-like (or Dragon-like) skeletons littered throughout Tahrongi's corners have always sparked my imagination and questions as to what happened to these gigantic creatures. What kind of Vana'diel existed when they walked and quite possibly ruled the lands of those times? What was the cause that ended them and could it have been avoided? We have mighty and long-lived Wyrms like Bahamut and others, so the question begs of just how long ago was it that these giants existed?

»Altep's Ruins and Tahrongi's Fossils

Was there ever a plan to send us back to such a time via the all powerful Cavernous Maws to traverse these prehistoric times? Could the modern day children of Altana possibly stand a chance against the possible carnal and overly hostile environments that were inhabited by beasts perhaps larger than even Bahamut?

And what of the possibility of fighting with the Antican invaders along side the prehistoric Galkan Kingdoms? Could we venture back this far? We've had the unique chance and opportunity to fight with our forefathers in the Crystal War, so could it be possible to travel even further back in time and help crush the Antican hordes with the proud Galka's of that time? Perhaps alter parts of history for the better, and save at least one Galkan kingdom from falling into extinction.

There would be no real limit on how many things us modern day Adventurers could lend our aid to or alter, seeing that we could assist in other prehistoric matters including the young years of the Tarutaru, Mithra, Hume and Elvaan races. Perhaps traveling to the beginning of time to stop some super boss from altering all history and getting to meet our great mother Altana in person? Just wondering?

Thanks for listening Devs /salute

Seriously, wtf man.

There is a reason why your threads continue to go offtopic. You and hordecore are both asking for trouble.

Some stuff, is just lore and an explanation as to how things happened.

i would be very interested in seeing the world in the zilarts time.

The skeletons are lies placed by the Zilart to make us lose our faith in Altana. She created the world not too long ago and those Skeletons are there to make us think the world is older then it really is.

While I cannot deny the "interesting" factor of seeing what things used to be like, going to have to give any ideas that support more re-skinned zones a big {No Thanks}.

[Karbuncle]

Doesn't have to be a giant resikinned zone, I'd take a BCNM-type fight against those giant ass Skeletons lol...

That being said, I like the idea, But i feel it will remain a "lore" type thing. The QSC is explored in the Bastok Storyline. Those Skeletons would probably be far to large to even fit on our screen, let alone battle.

I don't hate the idea but i feel it might stay more of "Text only" type of lore.
