Wait, what?

Why are you commenting this kind of things?
First that the new masked character is a Viera despite is obiously not. Now this.

Either people are so desperate for information that they'll take any theory as a pure fact or people like to make up crackpot theories for the giggles and see how far they can run with it.

The whodawhat now?

Oh wait, hah, I get it! I bet they are using this generic NPC as stand-in on purpose, to prevent the data miners from spoiling who masked mystery man actually is! Just as planned, eh?

You mean the one from that quest in Eastern Thanalan?

I just want to know if I can turn in 99 Fiend Totem for a Seph bird. -_-

So Xelphatol being a dungeon, means that it will not be a zone for 4.0?

Eh... Not necessarily. It could merely be the name of the Ixal capital city, a part of Xelphatol Proper.

Just like Djibouti is the capital of Djibouti.

That was a old comment. Of course its still behind the possibility that we may get areas of that place for the expasion.
The issue that made speculate so much people is that the name of an entire region was given to this dungeon, is like on 2.4 we would have given a dungeon called Dravania.

True, but that said, from what we know so far Xelphatol seems to be just a bunch of barren mountains and valleys plus "there be Ixals", which doesn't sound that exciting for a whole zone

Well, personally I always figured it'd be more of an open world dungeon anyway... Sort of like Mamook in Final Fantasy XI, but well... Hamlet Defense is seemingly dead and buried, so without a Besieged style assault of a Gridanian Hamlet by the Ixali, what's the point of Xelphatol as a enemy stronghold for the server to group together to fight back in?

Excuse me while I morn a future full of FATEs as our only "serious" open world content...
