THE TIME HAS COME!

I have been waiting since 2.0 was announced for this very day! Today, July 23, marks exactly THREE DAYS before 1.23 is scheduled to go live.

Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. Now we know who the Garlean Empire truly is.

Except Dalamud is landing in 2.0, not 1.23 :P

Well, we really don't know. The story of 1.23 could end in Dalamud making its final descent. It could be understood to happen between the end of 1.23 and 2.0 or it could be the start of 2.0. I don't think we really have enough information yet.

All I know is I have a big, heavy axe that's going to find itself in the middle of Nael Von Darnus's face.

I have a feeling that Dalamud will actually land on the last lettered patch.

And we all know there will be some reason the patch is pushed back another week or two.

Fixed it for you, but seriously thanks for using that picture again.

I can't stop laughing at this...you guys...ha hahahahaha

actually shorter then three. Unless you live in japan or a time zone close to it. The patch will most likely hit on the 25th

I had to do it, i'm sorry.

this is obviously THE best thread. FLCL is in it.

I hope that it lands/hits in the 1.23 patch but I expect it will happen closer to launch of 2.0 , who knows

If Dalamud lands in 1.23, then 1.23a, b and so on will be just varying degrees of crushed adventurers. x(

Only the teensy Lalas will survive, by hiding in the cracks and crevices.

Not quite yet, but it's getting close. What a strange, messed up ride this was.

They never really said when its going to land is it? All they ever really said is that 1.23 will be the conclusion of the 7th umbral era. And isn't the main event of the 7th umbral era that dalamud fell? Just based on that I think it should be falling. But im just taking a guess it very well could be until 2.0 but idk it just seems logical to me since they said in 1.23 it's suppose to be drawing the 7th umbral era to a close.

It's apparently in the 2.0 trailer so highly unlikely anything of the sort will happen. It's probably just the intro of XIV 2.0 where it happens.

You know, I kinda wonder....

Will the new storylines and NPCs and such refer to the calamity of Dalamud's falling? Like, how the Crystal War was such a big piece of Vana'Diel's history that nobody got to touch until Wings of the Goddess, but was always present in storylines and such.

Will the new players who start FFXIV know the Lore of the 6th Astral Era that only us current players actually experienced?

Really thinking about it, that's cool as hell.

I'm still wondering how they're going to manage to 'conclude'.
I mean... lets say you finish the 'final boss'. But the servers aren't going down for a few more days, so it can't really be 'the end'. Neither can the current system hold up to an epic all open world boss. really ... Nor could they say it's at this time during these hours because then everyone would log in and crash the servers.

I do think like the INN rooms, we'll be thrown into Cut-scenes when we log in...
But as far as 'concluding'. I don't know.
My best guess is that perhaps after the 'official' end of service they might say, log in any time during the next week to see the 'final scenes', (no playable content), then the game will kick you off and that's it?

NPCs that survive/still exist will more than likely refer to the old world just like in XI people still referred to Tavnazia even though you can never visit it. The only issue is it's hard to have NPCs on the same timeline as the players...every NPC still refers to 17-24 years ago even though hundreds of years have past since then.

I guarantee they're going to stretch the conclusion out to coincide with the introduction of 2.0 Alpha.
