Deaspected Crystals...

[Eruantien]

Pretty sure they are related to the upcoming materia system.

A few people have said this, but isnt the materia system in ideas mode right now, they are unlikely to have somethign in place when its just an idea.

And aren't the deaspected crystals, crystals that have already been used to summon a primal making them lose their power, not the other way around. Meaning that a primal has recentally been summoned. Or alot of primals being summoned

The way I recall it was Sylphs wanted to bribe Beast Tribes with "Unaspected" crystals so they could use them ... to summon, I guess. I'm not sure if that was clear. What we're getting are "Deaspected" and I have no clue how they are different. I'd say "Unaspected" never had an aspect (just looking at the word) but the process in which we (the player) made them during a mission speaks otherwise.

And this:

I think thiey have something to do with the gm event since that is when ppl satarted getting them. And the levequest counter guy talks of people getting strange items while doing levequests, which is also new.

Save them, or better yet, find a way to send them to me. I'm on Istory. ^^

Big things are in the works. Lore about Gridania's and travellers; GM's appearing on jobs that don't exists for us yet; new dialogue where everyone is sure to see it... I'm interested. I'm even telling my friends who quit that they need to return.

As far as deaspected v. unaspected... I'm unsure. This could simply be another nomenclature issue, or the UN/DE could be of significance.

Totally concur with Shai: If I recall Forever Taken correctly, we had to take 5 crystals to Mor Dhona to have their aspect removed, which I would term a DEaspected crystal, because the DE implies there was some aspect which has since been removed, whereas an UNaspected crystal would not have had an aspect to begin with.

I suspect something is lost in translation. Maybe the un/de does have some significance, or maybe we are just reading too much into some minutia that may not have even occurred as worth consideration to someone who is not a native-English speaker.

C'mon mid-June!!!!!
