When did the greater moon start glowing red?

The lesser moon Dalamud has been red for quite some time, but now this crescent moon is red?

Basically normal moon color, like the small icon on the time widget.

I think the moon changes color depending on the weather/element? Only guessing.
I have yet to see the greater moon be red like this though, pretty awesome.

I've noticed that for a while, think it's been that way since 1.19? I can't remember when exactly I first noticed it.

Edit: Derp - didn't look at the picture properly.

The larger moon glowing red I've seen reported as a bug a few times. Not sure if it is actually meant to be that colour or not.

The infection of the Dalamud is spreading to the moon, perhaps near 2.0 when the dalamud gets real close the air will have a red tinge to it.

Bigger moon turning red is old (I've posted a screenshot of it on the forum of my LS the 30th october, but I think I had seen it even before), but it's occasional. I can't think of a reason why it happens.

If this isnt a glitch...

RUN.

Alternatively, time to take a trip.

It happens in real life, too. Harvest moon. There's no need to think it's a glitch/bug/accidental/apocalyptical.

I noticed the large moon glowing red a long long time ago, when Tanaka was still in charge. It's something that has been in the game for a long time. It happens every so often.

This turned into a fun thread.

Carpenters of the world, we need you all to make a baseball bat for Titan, hes the only one that can knock the Dalamud out of the park.

what if he misses or doesnt do it right and it just becomes a foul ball and then hits another city state :X LOL

Wacky thought. If posts like these are made every time the moon goes red. Over a period of time we will learn the time table that this occurs on

We don't need to make a bat. A guitar will sprout forth out of his head and he'll use that to hit the meteor back.

+1 for the FLCL reference! Canti = Magitek armor?

Well, we aren't getting magitek armor until 2.0 are we? Maybe he can be a mammet.
