I mean the craters his blasts would have made, plus the destroyed buildings. They flew right past all city-states but we see no destruction :/.

Wasn't the first strange geographical location. Remember south Shroud before PoTD arrived? That giant hole in the ground? Strange that both are created and left unexplained until SE sees fit, if it is indeed POTD V2.

It reminds me of the tower of heaven from FairyTail

I rather think we're getting the Lunar Whale for that.

That hole wasn't unexplained. Quest NPCs well before PotD talked about it being the ruins of Gelmorra. :P

*twitches and resists the urge to rant about how the Duskwight get so ignored in lore while Xaela got an entire zone of rich lore*

I wish for some Keeper of the Moon lore too :(. So much Seeker of the Sun lore :(.

Aye. While I appreciate PotD for what it is, I curse if for what it's cost us.
A proper, explorable Gelmora would have been great (as would a different path for a certain someone's storyline), but instead we got Rogue-Like-Lite. :-(

There is a few blips of really hard to read Duskwight lore tucked into leves flavor text. I remember a particular miner one at Quarrymill that had the elementals demanding all Gelmorra related ruins that have been exposed post-Calamity be destroyed. The Elementals considered the founders of Gelmorra and Ixal destructive parasites.


Xeala and Raen got TONS of lore in Stormblood, but aside from Seekers, no one else has really gotten too much in that department. Even in the case of the Seekers, we've only spent time in two tribe's settlements. I think Plainsfolk are worse off as far as race lore and history goes.

Yeah, I've seen that bit. It's extremely frustrating that the only lore they seem willing to provide is just, "Haha look at this cultural heritage of an entire race. It needs to be destroyed because reasons." Combined with how the Duskwight get treated by a lot of NPCs... SE seems to have a hate-on for this particular race. >_<

I'm a bit salty that 2.0 changed both Urianger and Estinien from being Dusks. Urianger's ethnicity wasn't as obvious and he has always gotten the short end of the story stick within the Scions, but why Estinien? Do the devs think grey skin isn't marketable?? Fantasy fans do know what dark elves are...

FFXIV 1.0 DRG story. Basically the same as 2.0's, but look at grey skinned Esti....

As for Jenga tower, I would rather it be the new Deep Dungeon than just the space elevator. My brain did go straight from 0 to Allagan while looking at it.

Aside from the obvious places of destruction that do exist, I feel like this was reasonably explained in Coil turn 12.

In terms of future dungeons I think it would be likely, with an interesting structure due to its limited space.

Also there's a side quest that suggests something is going to happen with Hell's Lid and also Violet Tides Hard Mode I think is pretty much confirmed due to another side quest.

I know I'm late, but good news is that Hell's Lid has become a dungeon in the revived Expert dungeon roulette with patch 4.25 Sadly, Heaven-on-High has not been mentioned in any new content since the initial content with 4.0
