Edda and a wave of like 600~700 skeletons? Sounds fun.

Looking at the two videos, does Edda pop out only next to lamps? I think I'm seeing a pattern. o_0

Shes one of the first flavor npc's you interact with before setting foot in your first dungeon. You even get a cutscene where she personally commends you and lets you in on her group's tragedy.

You could have saved her, you could have set her on a different path.

Anyways goes to show you how far down the road the writers and devs are looking when they implement an npc.

Wouldn't it be also interesting if:

**POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT**

Nanamo appears randomly in Uldah with Raubahn' severed arm.

I just hope when Edda returns (Tam Trauma Extreme?) she won't end up looking like a Succubi -_-

Avere was a real ass in that party of jerks too. It just makes her story all the more tragic.

Also your signature totally tricked me.

This is off topic but I have to say...
I almost pressed my thumb against the screen because I thought your signature was a real insect.
But when I noticed the pattern in its movement I scrolled the window to see if it also moved up and down.

Random chance of Edda appearing in one of your wedding cutscenes? Yesh please. Actually no. Please don't. That'd scare the living hell out of me.

I would love if during a wedding cutscene you see Edda in the background behind the audience, just standing there. And when the cutscene is over she's gone.

With the events of 2.55 she would've ended up getting killed like Wilred ;_;

Looks like we gotta kill her a few more times

---

I remember a "scrapped" dungeon named The Seventh gate of Hell. Could it be... ?

This is so cool! I have to find her! One thing is how do you get 1% chance of her popping up? Is it 1% chance of you loading a city-state that she pops? Also, can more than one person see the same ghost or is it only on your screen? This is very interesting. Time to call Ghost Hunters!

Taking a group picture at a wedding only for Edda to appear for the "photographer".

Oh that's spooky, and I love it!
I want more of Edda

And Just a reminder kids, the story of Edda is why you should be nice to your party members of they will go crazy and use blood magic to attempt to revive the severed head of your tanks and try to kill you all.

If Edda had just learned the Raise spell, maybe she'd be less creepy... and less dead.

Maybe everyone can't be raised like Player Characters do. Maybe it's tied by being a champion of the Crystal and the power of the Echo that lets us resurrect over and over agin.

definitly needs more random / creepy / strange stuff like this in FFXI... errr i mean FFXIV.

If I remember correctly the Raise/Resurrection spells aren't available until Halitali for players, and being that she was at best slightly under the WoL's level she wouldn't have access to it. Plus we don't know if it works on headless bodies...

Also on weddings, still waiting on Tam Tara wedding venue.

I wonder if she only shows up after doing Tam Tara HM?

I'd hope so. It wouldn't make much sense otherwise.

The game has shown the ability to make NPC's appear in the open world based on individual players progression. Like the Doman refugee's in Mor Dhona. If you didn't catch up to that point in the story then they wouldn't appear around town.

She probably uses the same mechanism that has retainers appear at random times. Found out that those are only visible to you when they spawn.

but but... wouldn't it make sense that she becomes a vendor for some rare item you need to make the relic in 3.0? lol

I can see the people camping her for 6+ hours, just to run over to her to have her vanish before you can buy the item you need. :x

Sounds about right? lol

I believe this to be untrue. The first video we'd ever seen of someone spotting Edda was most likely a low level. It was a Lalafell in the starter gear (see first video posted in OP). Unless this individual comes forward we can assume he was a low level.

I'll have to test this. I have two accounts so one day I'll park them in Gridania where she spawns and wait.
She seems to only appear at 2:00 AM in game time for two seconds before disappearing.

Greetings ghost hunters,

Just to clarify, during the Niconico Chokaigi, Takai mentioned this ghost looks as if it's holding a head, and never actually said it is holding a head.
If you plan on taking a stroll in the town at night, make sure to look behind you, she may just be standing there waiting for you. :eek:

Someone has been playing too much Fatal Frame.

Don't do this to me Zhexos. ;_; I always cry when I watch Ghost Hunter videos! I don't want to turn around and start screaming and bawling my eyes out!

I just found this on twitter also

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnR0...ature=youtu.be

It is particularly creepy that the only current (?) shown location happens to be a playground full of children... Wonder if that is hinting at a potential future plot point with her...

This really makes me lament the loss of the dream sequences from 1.0 all the more though... Log out at your Inn bed. Log back in to a small dream sequence (or just description of a dream), sometimes with an item under your pillow.

Imagine having a 1% chance to have some nightmare fuel featuring Edda? Seriously SE, bring that feature back!

Was about to say that something similar. Would be nice (well, not really) if she popped into your inn, private chamber or house? But your suggestion is better. Can you imagine if she popped in like this:

https://img.4plebs.org/boards/x/imag...6749902153.png

What if they played like a super eerie soundbit in just that one spot at that exact time? Nope nope nope nope. Just her fading in and out on that most recent youtube link has me making sure to look over my shoulder before bed.

This makes me happy, really enjoyed that story and makes me hope SE tries their hand at some other horror cutscenes/dungeons down the line.

I love these kinds of easter eggs, please SE, keep them coming at me. :D

This reminds me of the Costa Del Sol's Bloodshore Ghost that some people have seen on some servers. It has been reported to have a chance to spawn at around 9 pm and is up until 1 am or so. Spawns on a couple of rocks out in the sea at x32 y34. If you are insanely lucky you may be able to see it.

I found a clip of someone who caught it on camera, sadly the ghost walks away right at the start of the clip.

Screenshot from the clip.

Why are all these photographs always so blurred and badly zoomed? Hmm? We have flown people to the Moon but we cannot take one good photo of ghost? Cannot afford a good camera? :D

Youtube screenshots always get blurred for me. If you want clarity, watch the clip. The clip isn't mine by the way... I just screenshotted it.
