And we thought Edda was done

Take a look at the newest anniversary illustration. Edda got even creepier.

O_O;;

That was a good dungeon/story ~ Glad they said they will consider more.

Edda should become the guild master for the Necromancer Guild. When you join she recognizes you and puts you to work gathering body parts to resurrect her husband again.

O that would be creepy!

Nah the illustration just makes her look cute in a Japanese way...

Even Avere looks happy *sniff* So beautiful

They're really going to continue the story? Or is it just a picture? If they are.. YES! 8D I can't wait. I loved that story and the dungeon. Also love the picture.

Q: Do you have any plans of adding more to the Edda story?

---

A: Personally I'm very curious about the future, but I wonder. I really want her to be happy, and players here at the event would like to see her a bit happier. I think it will all come down to your feedback, but I'm personally interested in a continuation.

Q: Do you plan on adding more horror stories like the side quest “Corpse Groom”?

---

A: Yoshida: While not only horror, the three new dungeons implemented this time around branched off from stories from 2.0, and I think a lot of you who spent time on the story really enjoyed them. In regards to horror stories, if there are enough requests we'll add it and we'd also like you to think of other plots. It also seems like there are a good amount of you out there that want to see an even scarier story. Perhaps it'd be good to make your gamepad vibrate and link it up with the action on screen.

Soken: I'd be happy to create horror sounds.

I really hope so. This whole story was awesome. Especially that last cut scene. Gave me goosebumps haha. Devs and writers keep it up!

Oh thank god you added the source for context. I first read the Japanese as "6 days later" thinking it meant this picture is set 6 days after the events in Tam Tara; that would have been terrifying.

Awww, she looks so happy.... in a creepy Gothic sort of way. :p

Nah, Edda had a stereotypical villain 'are they, aren't they' outro. The kind of outro that can lead to the villain either returning unscathed with fantastical powers, or crippled with fantastical henchmen (Ascians anyone?).

I liked the Edda storyline. Its nice for FF14 to create its own lore rather than borrowing from the franchise for a change.

I believe the term is 'yandere'.

(gently takes a puff out of my Geniune Anime Weeb Cigar while i recant the cultural importance of Sailor Moon)

I wonder when is her next appearance. She definitely seems to be a fan favorite and even yoshi mentioned he liked her.

Hopefully they continue the Edda story-line and keep the horror part. ^^
Yoshida mentions in his comment that he'd like her to be happy, but I think it's too soon... more h.o.r.r.o.r. please. xD

We call it the 'obscure death scene.' Happens in comics all the freaking time.

This.

Thiiissssssssss.

Or hell, roll it into Dark Knight lore somehow if you gotta tie it to an existing FF staple.

But really I just want to have spooky skeleton minions.

Yes!
Yes please!

Also I just noticed Avere has a candle sticking out his head, dammit Edda.

Glad to see this *possibly* continuing, loved the thought out pieces to it, even the change in the victory fanfare. Although I'm on the boat for hoping she gets a bit happier ending at some point, there are plenty of other chances/options to make 'even scarier' stuff. The note on vibration feedback through the controller reminded me of an old camera/ghost series (avoiding naming other games out of SE) on the PS2 that was awesome; and would be fun to experience again in a FF twist.

You know....this would have been much more interesting if right after the whole incident with her husband dying and party falling apart, you would be able to take Edda as a companion you can take under your wing, instead of having a Chocobo to fight along side you, then maybe we wouldn't have had her going all psycho .
