    One of the projects I'm working on is a restoration of the Version 1.0 introduction stories, however, too much crucial information remains missing and I haven't been able to coax it out of anyone just yet; the summaries remain unfinished. I can help you out a little, though.

    Somewhere between 1557 and 1562, possibly in 1562, an Ala Mhigan resistance member came to Ul'dah with extremely valuable information. His cover, it seems, was that he was simply a man traveling to a nearby hamlet with his daughter. However, he never got to deliver his warnings; as part of a scheme to increase their own fame, Niellefresne, a famous goldsmith, and Greinfarr, a famous gladiator, broke the spell subduing a Goobbue being transported to the Coliseum for a spectacle fight. It was expected that Greinfarr would put down the goobbue and save the day - but, in the rampage, Warburton was killed, leaving his daughter, Ascilia, orphaned. Nielle was also killed as this conspiracy unraveled, and his lover, F'lhaminn, the songstress of Ul'dah, took in Ascilia as her own (considering that both had been left soul-crushingly alone). In 1572, Ascilia had changed her name to Minfilia, likely to hide from the Imperials who knew of Warburton's mission. There's a lot more to the story, and I hope to tell it completely someday, but too much remains unanswered as of right now.

    No wonder I couldn't follow the storyline and was left confused to hear that F'Lahminn was Minfillia's adoptive mother.

    It's because that scene at the beginning is actually nothing but a huge Echo dive, yeah. You are having visions of the past during that
