The Last Word – Storm over Gridania

[Xmbei]

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

well the event sure but I think they taking a break for golden week and might be reason for the delay

I don't think they're destroy Grid, and don't want them too. Its my starter city and I think its beautiful. But The Black Shroud could use some restructuring. I'd like it to be more open to exploration and less mazey.

So I never played FFXI, but is this how things were? Major lore driven events would happen and last for say a week or two and then at the end there wold be some occurrence, like the opening of a dungeon or two. My guess is the 12 Archons will be "reborn", and the Empire will invade Gridania

ffxi = lore, lore, lore, lore, excitement, and more lore

It seems like they tried to imitate Yuhtunga and Yhoator Jungle.. just badly.

Definitely badly. Yhutunga and Yhaotar I remember were vibrant in color and much more random than the Black Shroud.

I don't think they will change Gridania it's self, maybe add some tele crystals or something similar to what they did with Windy in FFXI to help get around the city. The Black Shroud however I think will be seeing some restructuring.

I think this fits in with the storyline that the Astral age of peace is ending and a new Umbral age is beginning. Using the great unrest that an Umbral age brings as a backdrop, the developers will tear down and rebuild areas and cities. This will also take away the "peaceful" feeling the game has and bring about the "Final Fantasy feel" that Yoshi-P wants.

I really think the Garleans aren't the bad guys and we will join with them at some point. I think they are just trying to prevent something from happening to save their people, probably from the Umbral Era from occurring and we will see our true enemy soon.

lol well i was a monk, pandemonium server though.

Hi, I'm Chili from pandemonium(Sorry forget how to spell it) in FFXI. It was long time ago i think you may not remeber.
But nice to see you again : ) , we used to hunt lots of beastman and doing mission together.

I think if we become friends with the empire it might be after we defeat and oust its current ruler.....
