Ooooh, a repeat of the Meteor event? We got the lightning event like six times, so a 2nd meteor wouldn't be too bad right?

Seriously though, I don't get why you all are saying that alexander doesn't tie in with the main story. I watched all the cutscenes and agree that it hasn't tied into it "yet". Without giving any spoilers I can't really elaborate but alex does tie in with Ildyshire's story of course and there would be plenty of room for dragons and alexander to clash. Hence, maybe something like good old japanese movies: Godzilla versus Mecha-Godzilla! :P I mean, there are giant dragons right? Alexander is a giant robot.

I say give the story a bit longer to advance. I'm sure Ishgard won't be happy with a giant robot on their doorstep practically. And of course there is that one foe from that one dungeon that happens to be "loose". (sorry being vague so no spoiler if can)
