    From most feared to most forgotten? (Spoilers)

    Hello,

    I posted this in the Q&A thread for the next live letter but thought I'd be more likely to get a response here.

    In the Toll of the Warden quest we see the emergence of a fearsome creature known as the Ascian. This grim voidsent entity was capable of striking fear into beastmen and common folk alike.

    Yet, since then there has been nary a mention of its existence. As if it was just completely forgotten about. Was this creature lost in the 2.0 shuffle or can we expect to see more lore surrounding it emerge?

    I was actually laughing about this the other day with some friends of mine; how it just got thrown out there really dramatically and then forgotten about.

    gotta say, I'm curious about it and it would be fun to see something come off it.

    There's other things in the game, story wise, that's still up in the air. All 3 of city missions pre-Path of Twelve have things mentioned and forgotten. Spoiler from here on but Limsa especially; I'm still waiting for an explanation for the Admiral and -his- disappearance along with "That guy" who was mentioned when you held the musketeer firearm. The Admiral bit I'm sure is going to confuse the hell out of a new player especially when it comes to the Grand Companies.

    Maybe the other characters in the game just decided to let that stuff go. I mean, getting the treasure island back from the sahagins, figuring out who framed you for stealing a gun from the musketeer guild, getting justice for the kid whose father was stomped by a raging released goobbue, clearing yourself of the woodsin, getting the crystal economy back on track, solving the mystery of the ascian who wandered by without hurting anybody... if it comes down to all of that or surviving a falling moon? I bet they were like, "F*** it, I know my priorities."

    Haha, yeah, going off of experience with Final Fantasy XI, which has more or less the same writers...

    They'll be coming back to all of this eventually, I'm sure.

    Just wanted to chime in...

    You guys are absolutely right with your assessment of the situation. Similar questions were answered by Yoshi-P just last week when he was in L.A. to do a slew of interviews with the media and various websites. Basically, the main scenario (the Echo, the Ascians, the Waking Sands, your Path companion, etc.) will continue once the people of Eorzea have figured out how to deal with the coming calamity first.

    Thank you, Master Ferne, for affirming our faith in the writers.

    Although I imagine certain scholars of Sharlayan are already pushing us to the bigger picture.

    I'm actually a little more worried about the Waking Sands. Lady Tataru hasn't called in such a long time I get the feeling I've been ostracized...

    (Yes, I am aware that quest linearity demands that inappropriate overlap doesn't happen to avoid illogical contradictions in wording and context.)

    I was just thinking about this today too, as I was re-watching old cut-scenes thanks to the new Inns. I was thinking Ascians were some sort harbinger of the apocalypse actually. A shame they won't be a part of the umbral-era storyline.
