The Last Word – Storm over Gridania

[Abriael]

it only makes sense that whatever will happen will happen in 7 days.

Not because of the prophecy, but simply because it gives time to build the hype, and it's better for the "event" to happen on a week end, so that more people gets to enjoy it.

Z'llayan: Fools being named by others as the newly come Archons have been heard spouting nonsense about the end of the world. Pay them and their empty words no heed.

Edit: now there's a green NPC dot in the minimap right where the big floating eggs are, no visible NPC or selectable anything though.

"These crystaline manifestations of aetheric energy are tuning up utterly divested of aspec."

What does this mean? What does this imply?

The crystals are losing their aspect... This could be bad for the primals..

[Gracious]

I am just wondering if there something we should be doing with these crystals, like trade to something. I don't know but it seems reasonable we're to be doing something with them since they are dropping.

That green dot (in the middle of the road in Ul'dah) has been there since the patch. I think it's just the easter egg above it though.

I thought the Primals and the beast tribes WANTED unaspected crystals?

Sadly, I can't re-watch old cut-scenes so my memory is hazy, but I thought that was the point.

It's not really 7th day, its the 7th umbral era.

This is what is said in-game:



Can't really figure out any dates based on that.

Yeah, I wouldn't attach any RL time for things to really kick start in patch 1.18. It will come when its ready.

I'm by no means an MMO expert nor I have i played many of them but I REALLY like the way this is going in telling the lore. It make the game/world feel more alive and real, and makes the player feel like they are living it. MMO's I've played in the past always felt like the event already happened an I have no part in it. Hope this form of story telling keeps up.

I'm on Bodhum and I see that weird npc dot under the eggs too. I don't know how long it's been there but it is there I suppose.

[Focant]

Maybe it's been mentioned, maybe not. Either way, a friend sent me this image. Coincidence? Possibly. :x

Yes there is another thread open with images of the strange GM.
