Furthermore, on the topic of Primals, in the Lv50 Summoner Quest "Primal Burdens" an Ascian (I bet you the Ascian's name is Loghrif!) teaches Tristan to summon the Egi of a potential "Elder Primal" called Belias. Can you tell us more about Belias and his relation to the other two Elder Primals, Bahamut and Odin?

In 1.0 it was assumed that because the six Eorzean Primals each represented a singular element of the Wheel that the two Elder Primals, Bahamut and Odin, represented Astral and Umbral elements, respectively. How does Belias fit in to this concept?

What is Ninja's Main stat? Will it share gear with a current Job/Class or will there will be an entire new set?

[Sounsyy]

Can you tell us what happened to the Brotherhood of the Broken Blade, the Horn and Hand, and Azeyma's Shields factions? Did the Azeyma's Shields dismantle the Zer'maat Five for good? Will these factions get to return in ARR in the form of levequests or FATEs?

Will the Void (and the Interdimensional Rift) be expounded upon in the coming patches and expansion? And will it continue to have ties to characters from Final Fantasy V?

We know of the Students of Baldesion, who essentially should be Krile (who Minfilia has called by name in the story), and Galuf, her grandfather (who is probably her associate or fellow in this story instead). We have also been told by Urianger that the Isle of Val is "utterly....gone." This is also an allusion to Bal Castle (can be mistranslated as "Val" in FFV) also being sucked into the Void and Interdimensional Rift in Final Fantasy V. If the magic that ripped the Isle of Val from from existence is similar in power to Ultima and Meteor it could only mean that the magic is X-Zone/Warp or N-Zone, magic that essentially pulls whatever target from existence and tosses them into The Void and more so the Rift.

There's also the Cloud of Darkness who also makes use of the Void similar to her Final Fantasy III incarnation, pulling Unei, Doga and Nero tol Scaeva into the World of Darkness. You also have the Ascians such as Lahabrea and Elidibus, who make use of the Void as their means of transportation across Eorzea as well as summoning creatures from it. You then have said creatures such as Ahriman, Succubi, Demon, Mindflayers, and more, all of which are classified as voidsent. And Black Mages who are tasked to seal up Voidgates which ironically are all being tricked into opening them up using their magicks.

Finally, will Gilgamesh's appearance be also explained by The Void/Interdimensional Rift as well?

Essentially he's just here in Eorzea without meaning, but hardcore Gilgamesh fans know that he was also cast into the Interdimensional Rift by Exdeath in Final Fantasy V and has been traveling across Final Fantasy games for a while now searching for famous weapons.

[Potential Spoiler Warning]
In 1.0, we Lominsans were regaled by tales of the epic, albeit potentially exaggerated, adventures of one Rycharde Mistbeard, including one particular tale in which Mistbeard makes off with former Sultan, Sasabaru's most prized possessions: 200 gold ingots, 55 black chocobo skins, a ten ponz Meracydian diamond, and of course - his bride's maidenhood. Now that 2.0's "King of the Hull" quest has come and gone and the identity of said Mistbeard was revealed... can we finally have that drama bomb drop?

Is Eynzahr Slafyrsyn Sultana Nanamo's real father!? Wink once for yes, twice for no?


EDIT: Oh Twelve! I can't tell if Ahriman are winking at me or just blinking!

What exactly is the story behind Scylla? Who or what was he or she, and how did he or she get such a bizzare body?

What exactly is the story behind Scylla? Who or what was he or she, and how did he or she get such a bizzare body?

And why is there no Charybdis? (aside from King behemoth's attacks)

[Uielyave]

Will we be getting more information on the placement of the Seeker of the Sun tribes in Eorzea? Such as perhaps seeing more of them in quests in various areas, as well as understanding more about the way in which their tribes work, especially between Tias and Nunhs?

Will there also be anymore information about Keeper tribes and the male's role within them? As far as we know, most lore given to players is very slim and we end up having to head-canon a lot of it.

When is 2.4 scheduled to be released? in the past patches have come like clockwork 3 months apart, but lately they've been getting more and more spread out. The length in between patches is killing the endgame raider as they spread further and further apart.

[Sefiroth]

The Savage turns were a great idea and the content is as hard as promised. But the reward for completing such hard content is pretty lack luster. It doesn't give much of a drive for most of the endgame raiders to want to complete such difficult content and not be rewarded with loots. Are there any plans to change the rewards for completing the Savage turns?
