Letter is up, go read it boys and girls

[Sephrick]

This is straight from Yoshi-P's mouth. Does it not sound like he considers the SUE events to be different and separate from the original quest line? Does it not seem like he considers the original quest-line to NOT lead up to 2.0?

No. It sounds like he's saying exactly what I am. The SUE events are filling in the blanks. Once the Grand Compant aspect is established they'll bring all the main scenario stuff up to speed. It's still all just a prologue to 2.0.

The cloying stench of darkness lingers still...

So you're just gonna completely ignore all that stuff about the original quest-line being continued after 2.0? OK. I'm gonna stop talking to you then.

He never says after 2.0. Just like the localization team member I posted he says after the side story is established.

No, he said after the side-story is COMPLETE. aka, after 2.0.

[Sephrick]

Negative. Finishing the side story means only explaining how the citizens of Eorzea band together to respond to the coming calamity.

After that they pick up where Futures Perfect left off and move the story forward to the calamity.

You have abolutely no way of knowing that and are just completely assuming. Its fine if that is your theory, but don't treat it as fact.

Again, in that quote:

We want players to play this event as something they’ll only be able to experience now. Once that is finished, we’ll go back to those old quests and fill them out, making sure they become more important.

Looking at the structure of this sentence, it is relatively safe to say that when he says "Once it is finished" the it he is referring to is the "event they'll only be able to experience now."

So it is rather obvious that the "events they'll only be able to experience now" is all the content starting with 1.18 and ending with 2.0 (as made abundantly clear in the 2.0 Roadmap.)

So they won't go back to the original storyline until the "events" are "finished", as in 2.0.

You are just not making any sense. The story of the original quest-line will be improved, and re-released after 2.0, and then continued upon. Just read the damn words.

Right back at you.

Due to the content of the SUE events, the main story will no longer make sense without those quests.

The Empire is at Silvertear Falls to try and summon a primal. You're trying to tell me that after 2.0 they'll remove only the SUE events so that the story goes back to "The Empire is at Silvertear Falls to..."

[Meow_Zedong]

Right back at you.

Touche, but that's my point. Neither of us have any proof.



Due to the content of the SUE events, the main story will no longer make sense without those quests.

Explain this? The original quests make ZERO mention of the SUE, because the whole "apocalypse" thing hadn't been invented yet. Of course it will make sense without the quests, because it made perfect sense when I played it at launch.

The Empire is at Silvertear Falls to try and summon a primal. You're trying to tell me that after 2.0 they'll remove only the SUE events so that the story goes back to "The Empire is at Silvertear Falls to..."

Yes. You don't know for sure how the map is going to change. My personal theory is because Dalamud will fall due to something the Empire is doing. Some people think all the primals sapping the aether will crack the world in half. You go by the theory the Empire will be successful in summoning their primal and decimate the world. They are all just theories.

Silvertear Falls is a major base of the Empire, you think they'll just pack up and leave after 2.0? You think they'll stop whatever they are doing there? I don't think so. I think the story will go back to how it was before the SUE event started: "The Empire is at Silvertear Falls because that is their main base of operations in Eorzea, and they will continue to be there until we force them out.

I have my theories, and you have yours. The difference is I realize this argument is futile, and you don't.

I didnt read the whole Thread, so im sorry if you mentioned it somewhere.

But isnt that Quote you quoted from Yoshi, directed at the 7th Umbral Story-/Questline?
