The Last Word – Storm over Gridania

[Physic]

actually, yea there is nothing strong suggesting that they are going to do a major overall and change of the already existing zones, the post about it was kind of vague, and they didnt say what they were reviewing them looking for, other than to make walking better, it might be behind the scene stuff for jump or somesuch thing, and no reason to think if they are doing it, that this information is leading up to it, it could just lead to a dungeon, or the battle change, or jobs or something.

Definately hoping it leads to something, and is somewhat involved in the game world. Having a major game world change tied to actual in game events, and what we do would be awesome though

Possible that this "event" will focus primarily on the conclusion of the Hatching-Tide, as it pertains to the Archons.

Do you think the Archons might be involved?

We don't know what to expect, but history dictates that we can expect what to expect: nothing.

That's not what history teaches us at all. Considering we've never really had this sort of situation happen before, I'd suggest we expect the best, but prepare for the worst.

I agree, I suggest we all get our hopes up as much as possible to allow for maximum damage when SE dashes them.

Well obviously we will need comfort-food on stand-by. I should have mentioned that earlier.

I also thought it could be related to an event. Remember, YoshiP spoke about a Japanese national holiday in early may that they planned an event for in a letter from the producer:

"Even so, this still won’t make up for all of the time lost from our original schedule. As a result, unfortunately, we’re going to have to forgo the event planned for a national Japanese holiday in early May."

Does anyone have an idea what this holiday is, and more importantly, if it could make sense with the "letter" that was published on the lodestone today?

If great troubles were expected we would probably be reading a communication between city leaders, not a low profile article in Gridania local journal. Well that's my guess

I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
Positive thinking and high expectations leads to higher satisfaction and a more positive pressure on others to do well. But being able to prepare yourself for a letdown prevents you from crushing disappointment.
You can do both. Your mind is not that limited.

More precisely, it was for Children's Day on May 5th, which is a part of Golden Week.
