The Last Word – Storm over Gridania

i bet a Porsche that whatever happens will happen in a cutscene (if at all) and for all who play and start in this city nothing will change, nothing at all.
All the guild and shops there will stay where they are and people will play the starter quests just the same.

Ya would be stupid to change that all imo ... city and starting quests are just fine... I think it'll just effect the outside zone which is the problem... ALOT of work lost otherwise, lore , cs's , the like... just doen't seem them messing with the city at all... maybe a added decoration here or there and some new npc's... but that's all

FF11 used to have in game cut-scenes prior to an expansion, if they could do that here like a week before it happens it would cause a nice bit of hype and possibly some advertisement.

All the cutscenes in FF11 are in game.

My guess is that "The Black Shroud" zone will change to show a battle front coming from the northeast (around Camp Emerald Moss) with destruction in its wake. In Gridania new quests and story line which puts the player on those new front lines would be introduced.

Or they could just introduce a cut sceen showing the conquoring of Gridania and the map will change to something along the likes of past Final Fantasy's. One second it's a nice, peaceful place, the next its a military camp that you have to sneak into. Always my favorite parts in the past.

This is all just a ploy to get people out of uldah and into grid, I for one dont buy it.

I'm curious about the deaspected crystals mentioned in the second paragraph. A type of crystal called Deaspected Crystal with the following description:

This translucent crystal seems to have been completely drained of its elemental aspect.

and a quest item call "Unaspected Crystal"(dunno if this one is already in a quest or not) were found in the dats after the 1.17 patch. I don't know if what is described in "The last word" is already implemented and just need to be activate or if we'll have to wait for a future patch but it seem it'll come soon.
