What do you think of Ala Mhigo?

[Nonsensicles]

Have we all forgotten that the Manderville family are from Ala Mhigo?

The only problem that the hildi quests have nothing to do with the mainstory. A real character that I seem almost everything have forgotten is Gundobald, he currents leads little ala mhigo and has a big position on the resistence. I suspect that he may have a big role on 4.0

Have I missed some announcements, or why is everyone talking as if it's a matter of fact that 4.0 will lead us to Ala Mhigo? o.O

Because on 3,0 there couple details that may us speculate that 4.0 could be ala mhigo, specialy beacuse some cutscenes on 3.1. Also beacuse Ala Mhigo and its region, is the only place on Eorzea that cannot go yet, so we think that before going to a new continent it would be logic if we fist complete the one we are on. Aldenard and Limsa's isle( Eorzea )

In addition to Ala Mihgo's region of Gyr Arbania (probably butchered that spelling) there's Also Xelphatol that lies between there and Courthas. So between the two, they'd cover the last areas of Eorzea meaning we'd have retaken all of Eorzea for the Grand Company Allience.

Also iirc, Limsa Lominsa is on the Isle of Vyldabran (again butchered the spelling)

As for Ala Mihgo, the fault on its conquest lies with the Ala Mihgans themselves and their "King of Ruin" that left them wide open to invasion. So it will not surprise me at all if we get to Ala Mihgo and everyone there is perfectly happy with the Garlen Occupancy and doing better than when they were assimilated. Thus dousing the hopes and dreams of people like Ilberd (Who I still intend to hunt down and kill) as their hopes for a "Free" Ala Mihgo turn out to be their own twisted desires projected on people who neither miss nor want the old ways.

I hope your idea is true. It would certainly make sense given the Garleans would be seen as liberators by a populace tired of the excesses of the old rulership. Furthermore, it's more interesting story-wise.

Man, as a fan of Ala Mhigo, this thread makes me sad. Not a lot of sympathy for the resistance, I see.

Both Minifilia and her father, Warburton, are Ala Mhigan, though it's more of an influence on Warburton than anyone. Warburton was not a fighter, to our knowledge, as he was killed by a goobbue, and he was subtle enough to play spy for the Resistance. There's also Professor Erik who, while a dick, is a scholarly man who acknowledges the folly of the overzealous Ala Mhigan resistance and seems to have a low opinion of both religion and warfare (though he finds them fascinating and entertaining subjects in a scientific sense).

Also, Ala Mhigo looks like this:



So I'm pretty hype.

Now that I've had some time to think on it...the Warring Triad, we HAVE to deal with it before 4.0. And once we beat them, a lot of aether will return to the land...what if the Ala Mhigans try to do what Wilred did, and attempt to summon Rhalgr, as well as other beastman tribes of that area that have survived the Garleans also going for theirs? With those problems all coming up close together it would give us a great entry point since the Garleans probably won't be keeping quite as good a lookout on the borders.

However, this would also put us at odds with the Mhigans because we can't just let them summon Rhalgr, and in fact may put us in a few enemy mine situations with the Garleans. By the end of 4.0 we may kick them out of the city of Ala Mhigan, but for 4.1-onwards we'll have to deal with them AND the Ala Mhigans who would resent us for stopping the summoning of Rhalgr.

Had a good chuckle at how openly you admit your defeat at spelling the place names.

Perhaps some middle ground, where there are pockets of content and discontent regarding the Imperial rule leading to friction, support for the resistance (I should do the 3.1 story for some decent context), and tales of the good ol' days of the Fists of Rhalgr could lead to Rhalgr's summoning.

Even if the Ala Mhigans do summon Rhalgr (pls no) I don't see the majority of the populace being for this resurrection. It would be interesting, to see how the different factions present in such a political hotbed would react to that event, and I think it would add dynamism and a feel of uncertainty for the players as we progress through it.

Also consider that Ala Mhigo has been under Imperial occupation for about two or so decades. That's more than enough time for a entire generation to grow up under Garlean rule and culture. For all his imperialistic tendencies, Gaius was apparently a decent governor; enough that he could afford to leave and try his luck on the rest of Eorzea, while the rest of the Empire was distracted by the succession crisis.

The weirdest thing would be for us to go to Ala Mhigo and suddenly the whole city rises up in revolt as if the take over took place last year.
