None I hope lol, unless they do it in the style they did with XI where it flows with the storyline and not just there for padding like FFIV(II).

Oh!!! I saw it yesterday and posted an image during the ferry.

But I said to myself "not gonna make a fool out of myself so everyone can tell me it's been there since the beta or something"

Great devs improve game by stealing Materia, and the old FFVII devs sneak code in to summon meteor and/or sephiroth.
Were going to need bigger swords and pointier hair to deal with 1.19.

I can't wait to find out why it is changing!!! :D

I just completed a quest in Wineport,it was "Moonstruck". After i completed it and went back, the NPC said that she walked to bloodshore, too see what the color the moon was.(It is a myth that the color of the moon makes the grapes grow better) She said that she saw three people in strange clothes with strange accents talking into a linkpearl saying "No one has detected us being here".

I don't know if that adds anything to the thread, but that's what i heard.

Every new added element in the game is lore related in some ways, so this moon event could really be related to the advent of materia system. In any case, Eorzea is now in continuos change and it seems finally 'live'... i love it.

Boy, I really hope that somethin' comes soon, because I need my story badassery fix!

This exact same scene popped into my head when I first noticed it, haha! it seems to be a common theme in FF games to have some kind of calamity/threat associated with non-terrestrial objects... Real world mythology often associates such phenomena (like comets and meteor showers) with important events like times of change, war, famine. "Bad omens", ya know..

I remember doing the quest in La Noscea that mentioned the smaller moon getting larger. It's neat how SE throws in these little perks from time to time with the now red appearance to it.

Also I had to look over some screenshots I took in the past, and I never noticed this but it looks like SE also had the smaller moon go through it's own orbit (seen it on the left side, the right side, and not even visible with the larger moon).

Now whether or not the moon has anything to do with Meteor at all will have to wait to be seen.

Yeah it does seem to look like the smaller moon is in orbit around the larger one... or was? I also noticed that sometimes the larger moon appears to phase horizontally in relation to the horizon, and other times appears to be phasing vertically in relation to the horizon, which seems weird to me but I don't know enough about the physical mechanics of that kind of thing to say for sure. Do we need some astrophysicists up in hurr?

Looking in all my old screenshots, the small moon next to the moon was always white and not as big as it is now...so something is definitely going on.

That being said, man the sky is clear around town. You can actually see the dust band in whatever galaxy Eorzea is in.

Yeah, i would love to see some astrology related lore (and also gameplay) in game as well.
