The Development of the Gold Saucer

[Chewy2nd]

There's nothing to suggest the Gold Saucer hasn't been around for ages already and we players simply haven't heard of it. Considering the hints from the devs that we'll eventually meet Hildibrand's mother I'm willing to gamble that she's the one responsible for the Saucer.

Also based on the airship approach cutscene in the 2.5 trailer I think it's out in a remote location in the Thanalan desert.

I do indeed hope that the devs continue to add to it over time though. A few new attractions every few patches or something would be fantastic. Far too many people underestimate the value of fluff and 'for fun' content in MMOs.

I hadn't considered it might have been Mrs. Manderville's venture, I assumed Godbert was behind it, lol.

Based on the giant golden statues of Godbert, I'm thinking it was built by Godbert... Either that or Mrs. Manderville really loves her husband...

Still hoping Rowena turns out to be Mrs. Manderville, but doubting it somewhat now...
