From what I can assume from the trailers, the adventurers of this era are basically getting Fairy Tail'd until the new realm is born. Which makes me wonder if we as the Legacy adventurers are gonna get introduced to this new world differently compared to new players.
For example, a string of quests dealing with you arriving in the new world.
It'd be cool if we were put in our starting town, or wherever Lousioux teleports us, the Archons would check if you're okay, your GC leader would summon you, and from there on, we'd be told:
It'd be neat if NPCs knew my character was from the previous Era and wonders if I could maintain myself in the new world of dangers and adventure.Quote:
"Check out this new place to see how it looks, levequests are different, we have new leaders for certain things, you can still make Momodi's Charming Chokers, you don't have to parley 4 NPCs in the WVR30 quest, etc."
Yeah, I really gotta stop drawing these Fairy Tail comparisons.

Could also explain your character's sex change and how it happened.
There's bound to be an explanation on why our characters are different (if it applies) in the new realm. -

They'll probably say that new players traveled through time too.

08-10-2012, 05:23 PMZenakuya i see that happening but sadly it should not because everything now is a live event all the new players did not see the CS and did not do half what we did in 1.0 version. But i agree it just too much work to make two diff storyline for diff players lol.Quote:

I would imagine everyone will get the same opening, the new people joining will have been taken out by Louis as well. It's not like the new players who will play old characters just come into being, they must have been in the game world to get to that age.

Hmm, don't like the idea of new players basically being "oh btw, you got timeskipped even though you didn't do anything."
New players that start when ARR launches are fresh adventures born after the Seventh Umbral Era started, so they'll be about the same age as us Sixth Astral adventurers. I suppose. -

What Square Enix need to do is to summit a huge list of changes to everything in the currect version. From Items, to Quests, to Boss fights. They need to re-add all the ??? spots on the map now for every quest. Really want to see what content there removing from 1.0.
Will players be able to do Boss fight in 1.23.. in 2.0. Huge amount of questions. I'm sure Square Enix is overwhelmed. I'm sure they mapped out everything but they still need to do ton of those adjustments. -

Ehh, kinda derailing topic, bro.Quote:
