...Stay Tuned for the next episode of FFXIV!!

Actually the unaspected crystals have more to do with Mor Dhona ;P Can't say more lol its the main storyline

Well, if the Aetherites are not working in various places, we will need alternate transportation...Chocobos! & Airships!

I suspect (or rather hope) that Girdania will be the "Front Line" of the Garlean War/Invasion and the Shroud will be battle-scarred thus closing some routes but opening others...Enemy Camps and Friendly Camps with new Behests/Dungeons.

The Grid Quests have hinted that Crafting will be Grid's main contribution to the war effort so perhaps mostly crafters join that Company to supply the troops and the rest of us are the troops...protecting Grid from the Garlean advance and organizing assaults into enemy territory.

Perhaps if we are not dilligent in our efforts, Gridania will be lost and unaccesible untill we can retake it...otherwise the Garlean's will swoop into Limsa and Uldah and all of Eorzea will be lost and the SE will shut down the servers untill PS3 release when we hopefully have enough players to win these battles.

(These are just my goofy thoughts, not intended to be realistic. I am looking forward to whatever changes are coming. I have been pleased so far (overall), am playing more and becoming more interested in Eorzea and its fate.)

Keep up the good work Yoshi & Crew!

Well....(side-quest spoilers, highlight to see)


A lot of the newer side-quests have all been talking of sightings or direct attacks on people or other ships from Garlean forces. Even Limsa has heard a bit of buzz about being attacked from the sky. Hell they shot down an Airship right outside of Ul'dah! The Garlond Ironworks will play a large part in the story too I think. They'll likely build something crazy that we can use against the Garlean Empire.

Just because Gridania is physically the closest doesn't mean it's the only one who is going to be attacked at first.

Agreed. SPOILERS:



Eorzea is being spyed on every city. We have airship scouts running around. Garlean soldiers hiding in caves near Limsa!

All we know is that something big is coming our way.

Spoiler
also Cid I think will finally appear soon, If you have done the airship crash sidequest. Those Ironworks people sound like they might be talking about Cid. Also might be a good and bad Cid in this game like in 12, since empire and eorzea have thier own airships and different tech.

[SirEdeonX]

Another spoiler:
Head of the Ironworkers and best engineer of all? That's Cid for sure! XD Actually, another sidequest tells you the Ironworkers are a group of engineers that disagreed with the empires ways, and during the Ala Mhigo attack, ran away and took refuge in Eorzea.

Spoilers
It's also been stated that some or all of the Garlond Ironwork's members are ex-Garlean or Ala Mhigan. I forget which quest but I remember an NPC asking me if I was actually surprised to hear of that.

Sorry to throw this excitement off track a bit, but the lodestone talks about:

"...the frightful rumors being propagated by a camp-bound transient could well prompt folk to run for the hills. This shady figure is said to manifest with nary a warning, preach feverishly of impending doom, and then vanish like a phantom only to reappear elsewhere."

Anyone checking for a phantom NPC popping up at the camps in The Black Shroud?? It would have been easily missed if it was included in the patch since most ppl do everything they can to stay out of that area lol. Might be more clues if there is such an NPC...

[Munba]

Maybe it appears at night..

Let them decide whether its okay or not. If it isn't, they will take care of the post.

At least point us into right direction or something. Telling us there is something and then not saying what it is, is a douche move.
