What kinda GM was this?

Speaking of NPCs. You know those giant floating eggs in each city? The largest one in each city is also marked with an NPC icon on our maps. There's got to be something in there...

I imagine it's the missing Spriggan from Kikina's side. SE probably were too lazy to remove it entirely, so they just moved him on top of the egg.

There was an English version posted. I think it was in the Umbral Era thread?
I'd find it but I just woke up and don't feel like digging yet.

EDIT: Nevermind. It was in this thread.

He Said:

Urianger Augurelt: Darkness descendeth, but surrendernot to despair! For the future is forged in the flames of the present!

Urianger Augurelt: Ne'er till land consumes sun can sea bear moons, Heavens spew crimson flame, hells seep black dooms.

Urianger Augurelt: The senary sun yields the septenary moon - expelling the Astral, beckoning the Umbral. So saith the eternal wisdom of Mezaya Thousand Eyes.

Urianger Augurelt: Open thine eyes, ye seekers of truth! Stand and bear witness to the path that must be trod!

He said that in English!!

I stand corrected. Thank you.

Please don't say stupid things like this unless you actually know what you're talking about.

The missing spriggan is at the back of Nanawa mines

Finally saw Alfgar in Ul'dah:

Alfgar: Adventurer! I ask that you heed not the foul lies of those claiming knowledge of future happenings!


You: Who are these false prophets?

Alfgar: They appear near aetheryte camps, bedraped in shadowy robes, preaching their untruths to any and all who will listen. Keep your distance, traveler, lest you become tangled in their web of deceit.

Alfgar: Adventurer! I ask that you heed not the foul lies of those claiming knowledge of future happenings!


You: Are we in any danger?

Alfgar: We are all in danger, for fear can drive a man to terrible deeds, and it is seeds of fear that these false prophets wish to plant in our hearts and our minds. They are not the Archons of legend. They are not our saviors. They only foster unrest.

Alfgar: Hearken adventurers of Eorzea! Ware you the venomous words of false prophets!

Achievement is called:
Seventh Moon Rising
"You have heard rumors of suspisicious individuals appearing near aetherytes and prophesizing the end of the world."

Two of my LS mates reported this today; the NPC popped at the bottom of the stairs to the AG, right in front of the repair NPC in uldah, just as the GM appeared at camp horizon.

When I took that video also in the past few threads (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6IaHzkK70s) You will notice when I extend the chat, the huge spam from Alfgar.

I think he only spawns when the guy does.

Hes got an outfit Ive never seen before, its unlike any GMs ive seen before. At first I only noticed him because of the GM icon and then the outfit caught my eye.

Ignore my sassy comments, I was hoping to egg him into talking. No luck, he didnt say a word. I doubt he even spoke any english.

Like everything else SE does in FFXIV, I have no idea what he was doing.

While indeed it is cool, I do have a question.

What is it about the appearance of a GM in any game that turns people into a bunch of hooting muppets? It is like because a GM has shown up, you can all of a sudden act like a total prat.

Why do people do this?
