Do you think something big is coming? (Calamity scale)

[Fawkes]

Or counter point that it's just a joke :P.

Also if anyone can help me recall more examples that'd be fabulous .

My personal favorite.

Which would be quite lame. "Oh no! The First was destroyed!...Ok let's visit The First and farm Upland Wheat!"

*Shrug* I mean, every time we use duty finder we're more or less doing the same thing. "Good thing we defeated Shinryu, today's random chance trial fight is Shinryu btw so let's go fight him again!"

2B's butt is coming.

I really hope they don't throw yet another great big "calamity" on us... It's getting old at this rate.


* Meteor project takes place, calls down Dalamud and Bahamut to cause the Seventh Umbral Calamity.
* Mister "Sloppeh" calls for a primal that could rival the power of Bahamut in an attempt to create yet another calamity but is averted by Papalymo's sacrifice.
* Our dear Minfillia heads to the First to prevent the Flood from destroying the world but we're later tasked with traveling there to avert yet a third calamity, the Eigth Umbral Calamity, from coming to pass.
* Meanwhile on the Source the Black Rose is still very much a thing that could cause a calamity anyway.


And that's not counting other near events that could have ended in some form of a calamity. Preventing Bahamut's resurrection in the Burning Coil, stopping the Illuminati from harnessing the power of Alexander, and while I haven't done it pretty sure Omega was going to wipe the world out should the Warrior of Light fail to win. While I totally understand the need to have some grave threat to the world the player must overcome (It's a staple of just about any RPG out there after all.) the calamity card has been played a little too much for my liking. Yes I know that's the intent of the Ascians, but I'm hoping they focus on something else next expansion other than yet another calamity threatening to eradicate all life.


Let us work on defeating the Garlean Empire once and for all or somehow turning them into an ally in the ultimate fight against the remaining Ascian(s). There's already been evidence that there are those within the empire trying to fight back, I say let us work together with those forces to "liberate" Illsabard from Ascian influence.

They don't need to change any of the zones if Eden/Post Shb story leads to us finding way to unite first with source while keeping Norvandt as a separate continent. And if your earlier in story you would be going to first like you normally do to save it.

And where on the world would suddenly a whole new continent fit into? And the raise of such a continent in the middle of the ocean would probably create huge destructive tsunamis.

I do think that Eden hints more that we will help with restoring the first.

It's not exactly the same thing, because entering a dungeon takes you somewhere separate to where your character is in the world right now. You're loading in from a menu, not directly teleporting to a location that should not be there.
