Repairing Repairs

I'm sure it will be worked into the lore, just like any other change.

Speaking for myself, I don't really give a rip about the lore at all. Not that many people really care about it enough.

As long as the game mechanics are solid, I don't mind broken lore since I'm not going to read it all anyway. However, some people do care, so I would want them to fix it up later, after the more important changes are done.

What could possibly drive you to play a game if you don't actually pay attention to what is going on?

The story and the cutscenes have absolutely no relevance to "what is going on".

This is what is "going on" for me in the game:

• chatting with friends
• partying with friends
• killing monsters with friends
• meeting new friends
• interacting with people around town
• exploring new areas with friends
• taking on challenges with friends
• creating an optimal character build that will help me kill stuff more easily
• collecting rare items

Player-driven content > dev content

That all has absolutely nothing to do with the current joke of a storyline the game has right now that bears no actual consequence on my day-today activities.

Even if I was concerned about the storyline, incorporating Dark Matter into the game world is going to make a couple Leatherworking quests look a little strange. Oh the horror! This doesn't impact the main storyline or any of the other stories at all.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but i hear this all the time and it drives me crazy. Why would you play a game if you dont care about the story? It doesnt make sense to me.

You DO realize this game is being fixed right? You understand that it has been going through significant changes, and will continue to do so in the near future. The new team came in to fix the game, and the community gave them the go ahead in the polls.

The game is still incomplete and in a pseudo-beta status. If they had to worry about the current lore each time they wanted to change something, nothing would get done.

They can fix the mechanics first, and then worry about the sugar-coating.

While I find your point to be well beyond valid, this kind of change is going to produces so much lore breaking there will be no way to keep track of it all..

Even if they intend to fix it later it will turn into something like the Localization thread where we the players have to tell them every place that isn't right cause they cant remember.

They're a small team. It's a big game.

And that is a prediction. I have faith in both the current team, and the community to stay on top of things. Final Fantasy isn't known for being light in its lore. Although there may be much that needs changing in the text, I'm sure it will be handled thoroughly, especially with clearly dedicated fans of the game's lore such as yourself.

Have some faith. Experience the change once it happens. Then we can all comment on it, give actual feedback, and if all is not well I am sure the dev team will continue to do their utmost to ensure player satisfaction.

Pretty sure the lore right now is pretty meaningless given the game isn't a final product yet. In past interviews they have mentioned revamping classes which to me means their lore will change as well.
