Bring us back this city!!

from the tech demo!

maybe its ishgard.

more likely thats what inspired limsa, and that bar in the opening cutscene.

It doesn't seem to be really related to FFXIV, but i wouldn't mind it if they reused this city and added it to the game~

I'd never leave D:

Theres no way this is limsa, Its similar yeah, but hey maybe this is a coast city from Another Continent cause they've said that it isn't going to end with Eorzia, which as I understand it, is actually the continent that we all have been playing on, I dont remember exactly what they called it but in a city quest for Ul'Dah I recall them calling the planet something different.

You all know there are actually 6 Eorzean city-states! Two more plus Ishgard!

Hyaedelyn is the world.

I have to agree with this.

Although it isn't in the game yet, there's nothing to say that some incarnation of the tech demo city won't make it into the game during a later expansion into Hydaelyn. I believe the devs have said as much that the game won't just be ending on Eorzean soil. There's the landmass where the Garlean Empire is located, and who knows what else we may see? Who knows if we might "visit" Vana 'diel at some point or another?

I'd love this city!

Whoa, looks neat.
Is it an unreleased song?
It's really Hydaelyn?
Is it the city with the pub in the opening movie?
Talking of which, I wish I could rewatch other movies/cutscenes than the opening.

I hope they add this town, it seemed awesome.

They should also create the Garlean Empire city. Should be great :D

A) No, that's a track from the Final Fantasy X OST
B) There's nothing that says it can't be Hydaelyn, but this tech demo probably existed before the concept for Hydaelyn was set in stone.
C)Also a possibility, but doubtful. More likely the pub in the opening CG is the Adventurer's Guild of Ishgard. That's just my speculation, though.

I agree on being able to rewatch cutscenes. I want to go through the Limsa Lominsa stuff again just to try to make heads or tails of it.

It looks like it would be a good city for the Garlean Empire because of their technological state. It would be awesome if they added it though, hoping for Ishgard first though lol. :D

Thank you Malakhim. :D

please SE hire this guy

I couldn't help but notice my Dragon flying around (at the end) for the a future DRG addition to the game. >.,>;;


One cane hope. ;__;

That is awesome looking, that better make it into the game later.

I had completely forgotten about this tech demo. Thanks OP

I could imagine that being in Garlea, actually. Sure, the Garlean empire doesn't look like that generally, but all its cities are bound to be different given this is a Final Fantasy game.

.. Either that or it's Ala Mhigo. Which wouldn't surprise me. That Adventurers' Guild looks kinda similar to the one from the intro, which, if you read into it, looks like it took place prior to the fall of that city state, so... eh, still, yeah, that is an awfully cool city. But of course it could just be an old concept for Limsa Lominsa before they opted to lower the tech levels somewhat, or something.

This was a demo for FFXIV because it was going to be release for the xbox i think with the xbox help that city would have been Limsa for sure.

Yes, except those other two have already been destroyed by the Garlean Empire. We'll probably get to check them out a la Tavnazia, but I doubt they'll be anywhere near what the starting cities are like.

I still think its proto limsa.

I agree, it looks cool, but I'm pretty sure that evolved into Limsa Lominsa

The only city that was destroyed was Ala Mhigo. Sharlayan's just secluded and Ishagard was never touched by the Empire.

Right you are sir!

I think it looks very Sharlayanish.

There are 6 city-states: Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, Gridania, Ishgard, Sharlayan, and Ala Mihgo. There is also Garlemonde, which I assume is the capitol of the Garlean Empire. The city in the tech demo could be any of the last four, it could also be an early proof-of-concept for Limsa, or as a tech demo, it was simply a city designed solely for showcasing the crystal tools engine that the game runs on.

Xbox is run by m$ you know how much $ SE would have have to make FFXIV? but Xbox end up cutting off and not allowing mmo on there system.

i vote for bringing this city back in the next expansion :D

I'd really would like that too. Would give the zones some much-needed variety. That doesn't look like a city though.
If they have this great 3d model already made why not put it to use? That must have cost a fortune to produce and seems like the kind of waste of money SE doesn't afford right now.

Upon going through the storyline in Limsa again with my new character, I take it back. Something seems to have happened in Sharlayan, but as far as I know, it still wasn'd destroyed. At least, if it was destroyed, it wasn't by the hands of Garlemaid.
