Griffin's Crossing

[Ramesses]

It was beautiful and so was the music!

Yes indeed it was very beautiful... used to be one of my favorite zones in the game. The music, the ambiance, the weather, the way Ishgard was right there yet so very far, the way the mountains felt ancient... everything. The first image above was of Falcon's Nest (there was also Owl's Nest I think) where players could talk to one of Roddard Ironheart's descendants. Roddard was the chap who charted the Eorzean maps... famous fellow.

The original Falcon's Nest (not the majestic fortress it is now) was a small hamlet that was difficult to reach back then because of the high level mobs (some areas had level 80 to 90 mobs I believe) and there also used to be a Guild sign on one of those buildings that made us think there will eventually be a "Shepherd's Class" in the future. I believe there were also Guild signs for Armourer and Leatherworker there and we used to think this might become a major crafting hub. Likewise, we thought Musketeer class would show up in Limsa. Heh... the fun times of speculating stuff back then.

Darnnit! Now I remember that this was one of the things I wanted to ask in the Fan festival Lore thread... if we will one day see Coerthas return to the way it used to be!
