A (Highly Theoretical) Look at the Cycle of the Eras

Once again, I regret to rain (fire!) on y'all's parade, but that particular phrasing in the EN version is the result of, well...the less than ideal circumstances we all were forced to operate under during the development of 3.0.

Simply put, that line should (and will, as of 3.3) contain a more explicit reference to wind, and you may take from that what you will.

I sure hope somebody picks up that phone.

Wind to fan the flames then I guess? (I'm so sorry, that sounded funnier in my head than when I typed it lol).

Anyway, thank you Corvinoobus for the explanation - your hard work (and the rest of the localization team) is always appreciated.

Air gathers in the clouds to create Lightning
Lightning ignites Fire
Fire burns all to ash, thus Earth
Earth shuns the sun, thus Ice
Ice melts away to Water
Water warms, rising in the Air

So it was just the ravings of a madman after all...

Womp womp. Thanks for checking in, though!

I'm gonna take that line in particular to mean "there's nothing here worth salvaging"? lol

Wait, so this was a case of "JP Master Transcript" after all?

It was a good crackpot, Moose. Be proud.

Do you think they do those things on purpose? Just to give Moose something to do?

The idea that Nidhogg has enough power to destroy the entire floating continent gives me pause; he doesn't ever seem to be that powerful. However, it also gives me pause that I don't recall any interaction between Amdapor and Moogles off the top of my head; as if they weren't here yet.

Well, we've not actually seen what Nidhogg is capable of... For all of Ishgards history, he was effectively playing with them... When we encounter him, Estinien was playing interference... He was also down an eye for all we've known of him, though I wonder when he'd have potentially destroyed the floating continent; During his fight with Thordan or after? Regardless, he has a family history of that kind of power... Though one could argue the Agrius had more to do with Mor Dhona changing than Midgardsormr...

I really refuse to accept that the split occurred during the First Umbral Era... That's far too much time... I'd have far too many questions to contemplate if that's the case... For my own sanity, I'm going to hope Nidhogg huffs and he puffs and he blows Steps of Faith down... Let Nidhogg display some wind-calamity level power, I really don't want to have to consider why Mists and Twelveswood Kupo Nuts aren't entirely different species after literally all of recorded history splits their common ancestor...
