To assume this reporter would have some sort of "insider Dev info" is absolutely ridiculous. This post was merely to stir the minds of the community (treating us as though we actually lived in Eorzea) not to unveil the mysteries of patch 1.18 or 1.19. You guys need to take a step back and see the big picture.
...What? Of course it's supposed to foreshadow upcoming events. Why would they make it at all if it was just fake-speculation.

It's not real, it's a game, and it was written by the same people who make the game. To think that it's anything like real life reporting is far, FAR more ridiculous.

Thanks for the input from the 'big picture' though, for now I think I'd rather stay where I am, it makes a hell of a lot more sense.
