Oh god. I just realized.

How the hell are our retainers going to get to us when we’re in the First?



this is kind of a time killer thread.

Being a foreign world which separated from the source eons ago and has evolved on its own ever since, I imagine the local wildlife is very different, too.

That raises the question...when I send my retainers out to find me something interesting, what kind of mutated, hideous crayfish are they going to bring back?

The retainer network is just that efficient.

You'll get a "Light-aspected Chub" and you will like it!

Totally unfun answer: the gates we threw wide open.

Fun answer: I can totally see Greg setting up an interdimensional Catch-A-Ride! system for a small usage fee.

I recall Yoshi specifically mentioning this in an interview.

Not in a helpful explaining way, but more a "I wonder how your retainers will work heh heh heh :p" way.

Well, as my retainers are able to pull of things all by themself which not even I, the warrior of light, can do... Pretty sure they will find a way.

I wouldn't be surprised if retainers, rings of eternal bonding, and aetherytes all shared the same lore.

Normally when you want to teleport somewhere, you attune to an aetheryte first. Your retainers are waiting and ready for you at any summoning bell in any city or town, which raises the question - how do they get to you so fast?

I'm beginning to think that, in the lore, you can also attune to people for teleports.

My ilv 170 FSH retainer solos EX primals. Trust me. I'm not going to ask how they do what they do.

I have Aetheryte Earrings for a reason...

:cool:

If my retainer can stole roofs from other's housing, she surely can get me in the First too!

Well... they went to mogstation and stole fancy dye colora such jet black, pure and etc..

For the fact retainers can steal parts of houses and get primal weapons, I think they're fine getting all the way to the first.

Then again its possible they are just stealing those from players or other retainers...

I'm pretty sure my retainers will keep bringing me back gear from Sohm Al dungeon. They have been doing that for almost 2 years now, all four of them.
No Calamity, Flood of Light or anything would change their stubborn minds.

My retainers are rather lazy, mostly bringing fish or rocks they found on the ground... so as long as there is a beach to stay at they will be there, otherwise I fear they will go on a strike.

They'll always find a way to deliver random fish, even if it means traveling from one world to another.

if there's a way, they'll be there no matter the odds & probably already are there waiting & send their sis/bro twin to great u every day (or the reverse, its hard to tell with CLONES) I'm less worried about "how" they'll get there & more on "what" they bring me every day... half expecting a boobytraped crate or monster in a bag or even my worst fear "A LOOT BOX" O.O!

I'm sure the retainers have a portal system similar to Greg to move places and go between dimensions.

I mean how else am I going to believe my retainer brought me an entire stone walling for a house when they're just a dapper dressed Miqo.

You underestimate the dedication of our retainers. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor interdimensional barriers stays these retainers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

What do you mean how do they get there?

They already got there, just waiting on us to get a move on.

Huh that's a good question.

Also what about Rowena's House of Splendors? Will they find a way into the First or will we actually get a break from her and her highlander debt slave who's always making our artifacts?

My retainers tackle content I've not even looked at and on top of that, I'm not even interested in, so I'm sure they'll have no problems keeping up. Actually, I'm starting to become convinced they should just do what I'm meant to do and I can just retire and make cakes and blankets, fix Ishgard and all that stuff I actually want to do.

Your retainers go everywhere you do, just off-screen. Who do you think carries those 4 pages of luggage and chocobo saddlebag?

A wizard did it.

This made me wonder about something else. Rowena is gonna show up somehow in the first, isn’t she?

Oh dear lord, she is getting her fingers in all the pies and it frightens me.

Gameplay and story segregation.

By definition, the chocobo is carrying the saddlebag.

Your retainers must hang out with my retainers...

I can only imagine that the retainers do the same thing that mounts do. How do you think that all the mounts are able to appear IMMEDIATELY after blowing a whistle. All you mounts are all huddled behind a tree near you debating about who is going to be called next. When you ring a bell, they just happen to appear (even if they are on a venture). I swear, when i'm out on the field I have a constant need to look over my shoulder. >.<
