New Eorzea .... How?

Hi there,
since they announced about the new patch 2.0 , and the new remaps; i was wondering how they are going to do it?

1-I mean are they going to "Just" do it? with no reason
or
2-They'll change it as a lore? some nature reasons (Meteor, volcanoes,etc) , wars,nuclear bomb , or whatever the reason they might come with??

I think i'll like it more if they add a fantasy lore on why the new maps and Eorzea will be changed

they already stated numerous times that there is going to be a large-scale catastrophic event (could either be natural or man-made) that will change the landscape of Eorzea.

Read some of the translations and/or interviews, they will serve you well.

it would have been epic if they kept it a secret until the day of the patch lol. we log in and we go "OMG! WTF happened!?"
It would feel like a real catastrophic event

Fresh from the Reinheart translation of the recent interview:

Quote:

YoshiP - each individual seasonal event quest is related as well as illustrations done for the seasonal event also. Once it hits the new FFXIV you may never be able to play through those events again. It has some spoilers to the scenario so I can’t say much but it’s really big event that’s going to affect Eorzea which changes the map drastically. With every patch there is real time events happening so I think of that as live feeling.

Edit: Also, I'm finding it hard to call 2.0 a patch. With a new game Client, new Servers and new Graphics Engine it need to be called something else, but idk.

It's more then that, it's a new build on a new game engine, and will be a new client. In short, it's a whole new game. :)

Youshi-p Said " In essence" its "Like" a new game ( which it does certainly feels liek it) but its the same game ( just a Storyline Shifter).

But It is a new game to most people ^^ like myself

How? Best I can tell, a celestial body slams into the planet and changes everything. Take a peek up at the moon in-game next time you get a chance.

The story is already going, it's all about the 7th Umbral Era.

I don't mind that people are asking questions about 2.0 .. But It would be nice if people read the information submitted >_<

Even if people only read some of the information they would at least know the basics of 2.0 :X E.g World change, graphics, character changes, servers, etc

I thought I read somewhere that the empire is summoning meteor.

Incorrect.

According to in-game dialogue, the Empire is actually trying to STOP it. But they want all the city states to subvert to their rule, which we ain't havin.

You'll watch a cut scene of Red-XIII running around the ruins of Ul'dah with his cubs. Trust me, you'll figure it out.

Oh didn't realize that yet...interesting. So since we won't subdue to them (whatever that means) they plan to let a giant meteor kill (presumbly) everyone, including themselves? Seems like a strange response, what am I missing?

they didn't have the Massive Aetherite to load onto a rocket to launch at it. there all too well guarded by the city states.

Yep, moon will smack into us (no you can't slow down time or go back in time and no, there are no savior giants this time) and will likely revert the landscape over x period, and of course we survive and the NPCs we know and love survive.

Because everyone fits on the ark in Mor Dhona and the Leviathan wrapped around it awakens and flies people into space while the moon crushes Eorzea. After Eorzea is destroyed, Leviathan flies the ship to the other end of Hydaelyn only to find out it is a future Vana'diel where Altepa is now a lush rain forest, Valkurm has flooded and La Theine's craggy ravines are now filled with water. The impact of the moon into Eorzea caused the atmosphere to heat up and reveal grassy plains in Xarcabard, and all of the races find out their true names long forgotten when their ancestors traveled from Vana'diel to Eorzea. In the distance of Windhurst we see a shadowy figure. Is it friend, is it foe? Neither, it's Shantotto!

Make it happen SE.

The Empire wants the free states under Imperial rule. The free states don't want this. The Empire is trying to stop Meteor, but with all the fighting between the free states, the beastmen tribes and the empire, there isn't much getting done.
