I agree, while it might be nice for the few left who need ni, Phalanx & Raise III to get it dirty cheap (The prices are going down faster than a Tarutaru on Mithra day)
I still think November will the the final call before they release Bahamut to destroy Vana'diel, then after everyone is dead the second meltdown begins, the few still alive after the mass cataclysm are mutated along with the land, and those few remaining...are in the light of the crystal, the last of its strength until they are sent to a new world: Eriozia and Vana'diel will be no more.
Sorry about that
But what really started to get me to believe the "doomsday believers" is-- You remember that NPC Popularity contest?
PLOT TWIST! it was for XIV! yep the one who won (Shanttoto) gets to not only be a big VS battle but you can also have her as a minion, so I guess she survived the end of Vana'diel Oh ho ho ho ho!~
