Pfft, time shmime. That's what the echo is for. You underestimate me if you think a little thing like "chronology" is going to interefere with my ability to see that zone one day.

I know the Black Shroud area really sucks but just follow my instruction below and I'm sure you will get there.

Go UP the street outside of Gridania, Go UP a bit more, now go DOWN the small slope, then another slope DOWN, now make a LEFT turn on the first giant tree, then a RIGHT when you see the first crab, on the next Glow Fly turn LEFT, then a RIGHT where you see the first Drake, now look around till you see some random guy running fast past you while farting BBBBBBB sound, then next you'll see some big ass Behemoth chasing the dude growling with a sound like grAAAAAAAAAww, now open your menu and make sure you SELECT the inventory drink the juice you brought with you, now START singing.

A magic moogle will come out and teleport you to the waterfall.

Good question. Is it me or does the most memorable image from XIV (that's not in the game mind you) also look like it's from SE's stock renders of the most generic landscapes.

Sure it looks good but FF vistas have always looked AMAZING since VII. It's basically just a waterfall nothing over the top or unforgettable about it like Shinra building, stone forest, Fisherman's Horizon or the Zanarkad Road or Teleport Holla. Did Akihiko Yoshida (as much as I have a total man-crush on him) explicitly forbid the use of imagination in the scenery?

His characters are always GORGEOUS but the landscapes often seem to lack variety or color. Vagrant Story anyone?

We don't actually know whether that's olde mor dhona or whatever, but I'd absolutely love a zone like that to be in the gam/e. Lots of forest (not the tunnel-filled FFXI kind, a large, open forest) and lakes with that huge waterfall.

Would be amazing if we actually get it in the future, maybe surrounding Ala Mhigo or the zone to the northwest.

Someone recreated it with (I think?) Crysis 2's map creator, and it looked absolutely amazing albeit a bit beyond what we'd get on FFXIV itself. I'll try and find it.

it's Mor Dhana when the empire came and one of Wyvern came and attack the ship i bet the wyvern was send by bahamut :) it be a fun lore for sure.

I don't think it is considering the layout is so different, mor dhona has a lot more crystal structures and they're more spikey and sharded.

I do think it'd be a shame if we never get to visit that zone.

it is 100% Mor Dhona how can you dispute it lol. The Warship + Dragon wrapped around the ship fell into an Aetheryte Field. The explosion/destruction from the crash most likely terraformed the area to look completely different. Present day Mor Dhona has the Warship + Fossilized Dragon coiled around it. It's kind of hard not to just put 2 + 2 together.

Nope those poor Chocobo's are still suffering from Giant Yellow Bird Flu too but those nasty Ishgardians will make them work anyway, those poor, poor Chocobo's never get a day off ; ;

It wouldn't look that nice in the game anyway.

I wouldn't say it's 'definitive' considering the fact we have no genuine proof. However I did just watch the intro video and you do briefly see similar looking aetherite around th eedge of the water, so it could well be.

Kind of a shame if it is!

woops double post

The content of the Intro movie has no relation with the actual game.

Game Experience May Change During Online Play

Actually no, the original morbol battle and flying ship encounter was one area.
then the scene moves and the protagonist the hume wakes from being out cold for a while.
its not mordhona re watch that vid.

Actually I think it is Mor Dhona, well Silvertear Falls which is just South West of Mor Dhona and we can not access it yet. If you watch the vid at the 5 minute mark a shot pans from the 3 adventurers on the ground and the battle is somewhat above them.

Check it out I'll link the vid:

If you read back a few posts you'd see this:

All I know is, that Levequests blows Dunesfolk For Dinner out of the water
the Adventurers guild has clearly been holding out on us....
You've actually stumbled on to the secret to fix this game

To SE: When the game is as exciting and entertaining as this video, then its time to release on PS3 and start charging

I always thought that, you watch that vid and that Guildleve kicks ass (combat too), then you go do your leve's and it's like wtf SE lol

Amen to your comment. It's my first time watching this cinematic, but comparing our current leve quests to the one displayed in this cinematic SE has a long way to go.

Yea, if this is what they envisioned them to be, I can see why SE was so die hard about guildleves...

please i started this thread to discuss Lore and stuff, dont start turning it into a "bashing the SE thread". we have 7 nice pages dont start now!!

Yes its Mor Dhona

Alexia, I am inclined to somewhat agree with you but looking at the team underneath the battle it is close but not right over top. The area the leve takes place is close to mor dhona but not right in the region. The fight however obviously is in mor dhona.

Like a connecting area we cannot access just yet.

None the less that is an awesome view and I would like more like it.

That is why I think it is Silvertear Falls as that connects to Mor Dhona and we can not access it, even the name Silvertear Falls brings on images of waterfalls.

It kind of looks like Kazham--and if it's anything like Kazham, then it already exists; it's just that no one has fallen through the right 6 holes in the proper order to get there yet...

i just want to be able to stand on the edge and craft in front of that view, play some pink floyd and chill

All you have to do is look at the world map. Silvertear is practically a mile away from the crash site in Mor Dhona. The fight is going on above them, but it's not directly above them. If you were at the edge of the falls though, it would seem very close.

That brings up an interesting topic... has anyone found a spot that was obviously put in the game as a 'scenic view' point yet?

i think fishing @ la noscea is very nice specially at dawn or dusk

then silverleaf falls it is!,
now.. will there be.. tonberries there!!!??!!! or mandragoras

I guess that counts... pretty much every tip of the cliffs around there is scenic. Finding the best views is half the fun of fishing methinks... would be nice to find some around Thanalan that have a better view than 'big rock + water' :3

Why were garleans fighting dragons in the first place? i thought ishgard was fighting the dragons?
