Hey everyone! I fell behind a while ago on story quests and skipped all cutscenes trying to catch up and caught up the night before 2.55. I read a very good write up about the 1.0-2.0 story and I was curious if anything existed for the story from 2.0 to 2.5? I would like to watch it before continuing the 2.55 story quests. I have very limited playtime so I don't want to spend it watching the cutscenes and reading quests.
I was hoping there was something similar to the 1.0 writeup for the 2.0 story. Thanks in advance everyone!

If this is the 1.0 one you read, the same person wrote a "Main Scenario So Far..." for Patch 2.0 through Patch 2.4. Patch 2.5 will be added next week-ish, probably.

Exactly what I read and exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you!

What a great read! I can't wait for the 2.5 writeup!

I'm so so very patiently awaiting the writeup for 2.5! *taps foot*. Maybe not so patiently.

Just wanted to chime back in and say, "Man, did I underestimate that, or what?" on the 2.55 update. I've been chasing too many rabbits between a mostly finished Story So Far... update, several new lore-by-topic articles' research, trying to figure out the best ways to expand Lorecast since so many people are requesting it, and just generally trying to keep my spirits up.
Even considering that, the 2.5 + 2.55 sections took much longer than I expected, given that so little information is able to be glossed over and so much more of it than I expected required re-running things and doing translation to ensure I was interpreting the tone properly for summarisation. I'm throwing all the tomes back open right now and not closing them until I've got one less rabbit to track. Apologies for the wait. -

Just another update on this (apologies for a double post, as always), but it's finally done and passed off for approval and posting. Fusionx has offered to do pictures so I can move along to the next write-up project (well underway, thanks to how often I got distracted by this 2.5-through-3.0 post). I'll pop back in (my first triple post!? /panic) when it's up. Apologies once more for the wait; it ended up being 1/4 as long as 2.0 to 2.4 once all was said and done with clarifying tone, reasoning, and connections @.@

But what does IC mean?

HOKAY full summary of 2.00 through 3.00 (Main Scenario) is polished, approved, and posted.
Part One: 2.0 through 2.4
Part Two: 2.5 through 3.0
These will be consolidated into one reference post as time goes on. I'll also be starting The Story So Far... in 3.00 and continuing it in isolated posts from now on, consolidating into single posts at version changes. That said, though, there's still a few 2.0-related things to cover in large posts, isn't there, so on to the next project!
As always, don't be shy about pointing out typos or errors or just asking where I got a specific piece of information from. -

Even if we occasionally see certain things differently, it is very good work you do, sir!

05-13-2015, 10:02 AMT2teddyDude...if you don't watch the 2.55 cutscenes as you progress through the quests, then you're really cheating yourself of a lot of great stuff!Quote:

Besides if you have time to read about it here, you have time to do it in game... -
05-13-2015, 10:11 AMAnonymooseWhen it comes to trying to predict how unknowns will be revealed in the future, I imagine there's going to be a lot of different points of view. My accuracy on those is about as good as a coin toss, lol. I'll put forward all the evidence I can find and talk about what I think seems most likely, but I doubt that what I'm known for will ever be my accuracy in predicting how the little specifics play out. :pQuote:

05-13-2015, 10:27 AMFenralIf you're doing a write up for one of the things I think you're planning on doing a write up for... the script differences are as night and day. Hoo boy. I'll do my best to keep you honest without sounding like a jerk (I've been told the jerk comes standard), though I somehow don't think my input will be necessary once you actually get started.Quote:

I hope you'll forgive me for using it as a jumping off point for my massively condensed version on Wikipedia (approximately 1/7 as long, phew!). While we're on the topic, I wonder if you'd be willing to share any typed up game scripts you might have saved on your computer to use as references on the article, as that'd be a huge help. I've been slowly working on improving the ARR article and aim to get it to Featured Article status soon. Feel free to contact me on this thread or on my user page on Wikipedia!Quote:
