What kinda GM was this?

With all this awesome talk of strange happenings you all have talked me into logging in.

Just off the top of my head this seems like a way to epicly introduce Grand Companies with a event driven plot that will end with us banding together with the GC Leaders to defend our land. This is just more speculation ontop of the heaps we have so feel free to ignore it lol.

My concern is that the current speculation will end up being much better than what Square has planned.

The last thing we need is another dissapointment.

I'd just like to add that the Quick spell he casted on us was much slower in speed than that of Quickstride for Archers, but that's understandable given the spell duration.

:( that's right after I logged off of Wutai.

I don't know, I never doubted Square since they gave us Romancing Saga 3, and with the exception of Final Fantasy VII, they've yet to really disappoint me lol.

Well when I speculate I get hyped but I do not get my hopes up hugh. I let my imagine take over and if its not what i imagined it, oh well my mind is stilll a awesome place. :P

That arcanist guy just appeared in Uldah on Kashuan server at 4:30 pm east time.

Had the same words to speak (in french) that have been posted already in this topic. Hopefully this means something will happen this next week?

Is the google translation pretty accurate?

Urianger Augurelt Hear my words if you are in search of truth ...
Urianger Augurelt: The noose tightens on the disaster Hydaelyn ...
Urianger Augurelt: The time of awakening has come for those who are preparing to tackle the chaos in motion ...
Urianger Augurelt: The future is not immutable ... You can still change ...

Urianger Augurelt: When the sixth sun will have set and the seventh moon shine in the sky, the ocean of clouds poured a rain of fiery flames and shadows fatal spring forth from the depths of the earth ...
Urianger Augurelt: The "Seventh purification" predicted by Mezaya approach ...
Urianger Augurelt: You who are in search of truth ... Wake Up and Make yourself against an imminent threat ...

Also - using the animations of Ferocity and Blood Rite (was it those?) doesn't really indicate to me that it's a finished project. I can only hope that Arcanist functions as some kind of buffing job, though. I wasn't a big fan of Bard, but I could see myself getting into HP & MP Boost. That is to say if Arcanist even has these abilities in the final release.

Edit: But yeah I agree with you guys that it's the first hint of what an Arcanist might be capable of once they are made available to the public.

lol I just had an interesting idea about Arcanist and Musketeer (among any other new classes they may add.) What if you can only do that class if you do a really hard quest to obtain one of the weapons? lol Since this game only allows you to change classes based on which weapon or tool you equip, it would be a fun thing I think. =p

XI Advanced job quests would do well in this game.

The arcanist weapon style is a old story
You still wasn't in the arcanist guild in Limsa?

Personally it intrigues me. It looks to be more than just some old staff but more. It looks a bit more mechanical and I can't wait to see the higher leveled/different variations.

lol The GM guy was just on Wutai at Camp Horizon.

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!!

This is a date. 6th day of 7th month. Suns represent days, Moons represent the month. July 6th then? The light will be gone and the darkness will come basically I guess.

Hopefully not that far off :P

maybe the 6th day of the 7th month in game? when will that be ? lol

If it isn't referring to a RL date, perhaps the in-game date? I'm not exactly sure if that would happen to land on the end of Hatching Tide, though.

It is currently 9/23 in game at the moment but a day passes by at roughly a rate of 1 day per 2 real hours I would say? Correct me if someone has a better estimate.

Probably in-game date, and also iirc it would be closer to may 6th if anything.

Think it just changed to the 5th moon so then we should have about 2 weeks before the 7th moon?

1 game day = 1 hour and 15 minutes IRL.
1 full moon cycle = 30 hours


EDIT: sorry was off on the moon cycle hours

Hopefully you are right. I can't imagine them starting this so soon, if the date was all the way in july. By mid may the mysterious GM would be no more exciting then a leve quest. He would stop talking in poems, and just start shouting "Please someone notice me!!" So hopefully in the next week we will have the destruction of Eorzea, or something like it.

I'll try out some numbers with your math estimates I guess. I'm hoping that the date I am assuming the guy is talking about is in-game time as well because real-life has various time zones to think about while the game is the time is the same across the world.

9 full months (Oct-June) = 270 hours
+ 7 remaining days for September = 8 hours~
+ 6 days into July = 7 hours~

Total: 285 hours = 12 days~ from now to be July 6th in-game time

Someone should double check my math though. This is an estimate with a 30 day calendar system which I think the game runs on.

It's not 32 days a month? 8 days in a week?

If that is the case, then it will happen in around 2 and a half weeks real time. As someone stated earlier, I believe. A page back.

Which will make sense because that's when the larger patches have been releasing each month.

There are no days of the week in 14.

Rright now it's the 9th month
I believe there are 32 days in an Eorzean month and 8 days in an Eorzean week
it's about 1 hour and 15 minutes in rl = 1 Eorzean day
and 30 hours for a full moon cycle or 1 month
so 32 days would = 30 hours
and if it's the 9th month now out of 12
so that's about 10 Eorzean months from now til the 7th month
10 x 30
300 RL hours estimate
so about 12 1/2 RL days estimated
The hatching tide event suppose to end on may 9th
I think the last patch was on the 25th? So I think that's 15 days between the two. I don't know how accurate any of this math or thinking is. I'm pretty tired. ^^:

I can't find any evidence of a day of the week through the calendar system displayed in-game? How do people know there are 8 days a week?

We will get patch 1.18 mid june as stated in the new letter. That would make this kind of true(or at least close to it).

2 and a half weeks doesn't even put you in June.

But yea I'm still wondering if anything is going to happen soon, or do we have to wait for the next patch.

Sorry to break the days in a month topic haha but I am SO sad I missed this dude! This is such a cool idea and I love the sense of 'impending doom' XD

Has anyone seen anything else? Was this only step one or what?

In the arcanist, thaumaturge's and conjurer's guilds there are a collection of "dusty tomes" that talk about the elements, time and ages. They describe the cycle of ice>water>wind>lightning>fire>earth. This cycle combined with astral and umbral make the set of 8 days in a week. Four sets of this cycle create a month of 32 days.

The months themselves also follow a cycle of astral and umbral elements. The seventh moon is the astral lightning moon, which is represented by Byregot the builder. I'm not sure if this protends to anything.

Saw him again today at Horizon. I copied down what he said and finally used a translator on it. The translation seems a bit broken but it was in German so here:



Eure Kraft allein vermag es, die sich in ständigem Wandel befindliche Zukunft zum Guten zu wenden.


Translated > Your strength alone is there, in a process of constant change the future turn for the better.




Begehrt es euch danach, die Wahrheit zu erfahren?



Translated > Sought-after it, then you find out the truth?




So höret mir aufmerksam zu, ihr ehrbaren Abenteurer!



Translated > So hear me carefully to your noble adventurers!




Ein Sturm zieht auf und dieses Menetekel sei euch Mahnungder unsere Welt auf fürchterliche Weise verändern wird ...


Translated > A storm is brewing and this Portent you Mahnungder on terrible way will change our world ...




Bald sinkt herab die sechste Sonne, indes der silbern überfang’ne Mond Da glüht herab ein Lohenregen, aus Wolken, denen Höllenchaos innewohnt Die in Mezayas Prophezeiung beschriebene Siebte Katastrophe steht uns unmittelbar bevor ...


Translated > Soon drops down the sixth sun, however, the silver uberfang'ne moon because it glows a Lohenregen descended from clouds, which is inherent in Hollenchaos Mezayas prophecy described in the seventh disaster stands us directly before ...



Verschließt euch nicht vor der Wahrheit! Erwachet und erhebet euch gegen euer Schicksal!


Translated > You do not need closes before the truth! Awake and lift up you against your fate!

has anyone spoken to the guards outside ishgard? just curious if they are saying anything different.

Not to my knowledge. I spoke to them a few days ago when I posted up the new dialogue for the NPCs at Camp Dragonhead, and I believe their dialogue is still the same. They still say the gates to Ishgard won't open until the voice of Halone the Fury is heard. But you could speculate that with what's happening, maybe we will hear Halone the Fury? I'm not sure. But it's fun to think what it could mean with the recent occurences :) I'm not going to get my hopes up though.

Apparently there is an NPC that pops near Uldah Repair NPC/ADV Guild Fountain (mine was named Alfgar)...you can talk to him for a Lodestone Achievement for your character. He pops and depops but current speculation is he pops same time the GM (Urianger Augurelt) on the world pops. Needs more verification.

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