Your definition of "Interesting" is honestly inconsequential. You're here only to bash the game anyway.

The with the new BGM and weather the team has done a great job of setting the mood for the end.

Well, I will be over here in this undisclosed location across the ocean, so when Dalamund lands around the General Thanalan/Black Shroud area, I will have a few seconds to think "man that must'av hurt" before the shockwave sends a tidlewave across La Noscea(undisclosed) to send me down to swim with the fishes........ Until ARR:D

Oh give it up already. You said SE wouldn't do anything, and they clearly are.

You're just being stubborn when it's a GOOD thing that something is happening.

I'm going to go ahead and side with Elexia here. While it is certainly fun to see that mobs are spawning at the gates of Ul'dah, or deepvoid mobs spawning at even more camps, it's still nothing interesting compared to what you'd be expecting to see.

Oh, things like radical landscape changes, for instance.

I was hoping more would be happening, like invasions into Uldah and NPCs dying left and right. But that's probably not possible with the way the servers are structured.

I have a feeling though that Atomos is going to turn all the crystals orange before this is over. He's at Camp Bearded Rock sucking on the crystal right now, just as he was when he first appeared. So his attacks are in 3 stages:

1st: Atomos is over crystal unkillable, Deepvoids spawn. (currently Camp Bearded Rock)

2nd: Crystal turns orange, and has a 0 anima cost. Atomos spawns and is killable, along with deepvoids. (Camp Black Brush, Dragonhead)

3rd: Atomos doesn't even show. Deepvoids are everywhere. (Camp Blue Fog, Glory, etc)

Why exactly would you expect radical landscape changes happen *before* dalamud hits exactly?

Some people and lack of the most basic semblance of logic...

As a matter of fact, they don't have any obligation to do anything. They don't even need to encourage us to try ARR, because anyone that stuck with the game long enough to be able to log in today, will definitely try it.

They're doing something, and it's actually very stylish. But of course some people are never happy.

Why you offer him Crutches then? ( since you know, what he said is considered a crutch to you). You expect brand new spanking mobs to come out of Atomos or something, if you were waiting for something like that, then you wasted your time :P. Of course they are going to reuse mobs for the grand finale.

But you know, everyone has a crutch, it's your spine (backbone), if you didn't have it well it be hard to walk :P

They have the ability to spawn enemies in the cities at least, probably not kill NPCs but they can bring more to the cities. You'd think by now the Garleans would have shocktroops in the cities.

Well we haven't reached the finale yet, so hang in there.

I wouldn't hold my breath for major landscape changes other than Dalamud, though.

Calling you on the fact that your seething negativity has been proven wrong just again isn't a crutch.

Pretty sure the expectation comes from the 2.0 PDFs stating precisely this. I have a feeling the falling of Dalamud is what they're actually referring to, though.

well, i mean, it could also, y'know, mean that, i dunno, that maybe, the PDFs were referring to... uhhh...

There's that crutch again. Have you ever played a FF game besides XIV? I'm guessing no. Landscape changes can happen by the mere presence of Dalamud. FFIX for example, the mist covered the world simply because of the Iifa tree roots being present, it didn't require wide spread growth until they needed an excuse to cut down on disk data and block off the other locations on the final disk.

I find it kind of ironic you want to bring in logic to a fantasy then fail to remember, assuming you actually have played a FF game before that a lot of illogical shit happens all the time, you know, like the planet using spiritual energy to try to prevent a meteor from hitting it? Yeah that saved the Dinosaurs irl, right?

Sadly, this was stated to happen by the final patch (1.23), it was suppose to really allude to the map redesign even before Dalamud hits, if not..they really screwed up on the wording lol.

Well, no, because the radical changes are on a point on the 1.0 timeline that was a while ago now.

yeah, of course they're gonna give us the new maps before ARR because otherwise the few hundreds of people left will whine right?

Oh no! They should actually waste development resources that should be used on polishing ARR like a mirror in order to create new maps for the few hundreds left! Otherwise Elexia will whine.

You're not making the slightest sense, as usual. But of course I don't expect you to admit it.

They are already going quite above and beyond the call of duty.

It just started in Masamune

Aaaand we got goblins.

Life goes on as it should right?

Unless you count the point at the end of the Marker, which means it's pointing to October! :P teehee

Feel free to show me where that was announced.

If someone tells me they have a surprise for my birthday and I expect a pony, the let down when I don't get it it's my damn own fault, not of the person who gave me something different. I think some people here were expecting wholy ridiculous things and now complaining SE doesn't deliver on their hype.

I, for one, am enjoying the atmosphere, and even if you don't, doing something you don't thing is enough it's different from doing nothing, that's what some here were saying before and now quickly rewording...

feel free to point out how many things listed were actually on time.

like, where is my V2.0 software? Just assume they didn't make some arrows long enough.

That would be Alpha, and it's on time with the timeline.

Doesn't say alpha software there. Anyways, i feel you took my post way too seriously. chill out. You should just sensablly come to the conclusion that once dalamund crashes into Eorzia, the world will change. That is nov 11. Should that cause a duh moment?

everyone needs to calm down, its techincally day 1, Im sure things will get more intense as the days progress.

2.0 Alpha. 2.0 software.

The timeline says in-game changes. When Dalamud hits, it coincides with the servers going down, so we won't see those changes in-game.

I'm only calmly responding to your posts, Reika. No need to be offended.

Its only a cutscene, nothing will happen to the world! Which why they said they will keep the servers up and it wont fit the grand finale story, because it will be intact and dalamud will still be close to hit.

After fending off 20 waves of bosses on Hyperion, there was a lull so we posed for the camera:
