Enjoy the news form Lodestone...

I'm a big SE supporter but this was just too vague even for me....
Not mysterious enough to get me even slightly salivating....

All this said to me was that SE likes using RP passages from the players to describe ingame events. Nothing of sustenance was in this

Now this is the kind of thing I could get into if SE will keep it up in the future. To actively use player blogs in bringing the player base into the world itself is quite amazing. They did an excellent job at hitting an around the world audience as well.

Its unfortunate there is no new news, but again if this keeps up in such a way as to be reminiscent of the old vanadiel tribune I will be one happy cat. I would love for their papers to print lore on characters such as they used to do, like the great article on lungo-nango and rongo-nango that I once read a long time ago.

Interesting but we can't gleam anything from this. Seems like they had someone peice it together out of blog entries of community members.

question to Com Resp : the Seventh Umbral Era = big revamp of the game ? (like a ... cataclysm)

[Kafeen]

Nice, I like how it uses players blogs to tie in to the changes we could be seeing in the future.

As well as adding more of a back story for the events, perhaps this also gives the players some influence on the events to come.

I love this. Tying game lore into current events and player activity. This is one way I define immersion.

Makes me want to start using my blog. >.<

My research lead me to another adventurer, one V.P., who lends further weight to the apocalypse theory by quoting The Five Ages—aye, that hefty tome seen hither and thither that describes Eorzea's cycle of prosperity and destruction. If I might be forgiven for paraphrasing from memory, the passage of interest states that the Sixth Astral Era must give way to the Seventh Umbral Era, the coming of which will end life as we know it.

I'm hoping this will tie into several things, including some major visual changes. Bring on the revamp! (*crosses fingers*)

I loved the Vana'diel Tribune! Watching it become discontinued was like the end of an era.

Maybe we will get to see some swanky artwork with the "Tribune" as well. I loved them in XI.

Rowyne I know exactly what you mean! I read every one of them lol even the silly ones on beastmen. Then they had the weird dating articles or something, I don't quite remember, but my favorite thing was like hearing about ironheart who made the maps,lungo and rongo -nango who were heroes then rongo was betrayed by windy, the cool stuff about leviathan and a captain, and odin. They tried to bring it back once, then quit. Then they had a goblin write articles..... then quit... lol \

Jynx I know exactly what you mean, when I got to see the picture of Erpalacion (the last drg) it was a great joy.

And we wouldnt know any of those things if SE hadn't made such a cool thing called the Tribune.
