    I think people are expecting too much with this event when you think about it. I don't think any of the regions will change. They'd have to redesign the routes and locations for every leve, every gathering node/leve, all the quests, missions and all the mob placements. That's a huge task.
    Mainly shifting miasma streams in Attowha Chasm that's noticable. Outside of Abyssea stuff like the Full Moon Fountain begins to fill up during the full moon and the water changes color based on the day.

    Eh, dynamic terrain (as far as I know) means more like the changing of the ground and objects itself, rather than effects. By that reasoning I supposed weather would be dynamic terrain <_<

    It's actually a broad range when it comes to game design, since the fountain for example is an object that changes, just like the Sacrarium changes it's layout during certain days. Weather isn't terrain even though it is different depending on geological locations, however Miasmas are formed due to fissures in the earth or an unnatural source (like a crystal), hence why I said it is dynamic not to an extreme extent, since dynamic merely means changing.

    I've seen this guy on Istory, i suddenly got boosts from him, as other pt members as other ppl, randomly. Those were the boosts we got:
    - Quick 10min
    - Hp boost 10 min (normally 1300, had 1600)
    - Mp boost 10 min
    - another one i forgot

    That person talked German and, if i understood well (i'm speaking dutch, so pretty close to German), he was talking about the end of the world...His gear when checked him was lvl 1 gear, GLAD. But he looked like an THM.

    To me, this wasn't a GM.

    Sounds like they are gearing up for something big. Battle patch to include the archanist job maybe? Personally I find that a bit presumptuos, but we can't just ignore that Archanist staff sitting on his back.

    If you play Alchemist you would have seen that weapon on a NPC before as well claiming to be from the Archanist guild. If anything we might be getting new story events soon.

    I take that as a sign they are keeping the other classes instead of scrapping them.

    I think it was stated by Yoshi-P that the armory system and the job system work independently from one another. I wouldn't doubt its similar to the Support job system we see in ffxi, and each weapon class(Gld, Thm, etc..) are played as support roles for actual jobs such as warrior, thf, mnk ect. but IDK just a guess.
    I am just excited to see where this new content is going ^^
