Where Dalamud lands...

[NadienKirisame]

Thank you so much for that link!

There was so much I didn't know about the whole story in that vid. I may as well seek out the Flames cutscenes too now.

The maelstrom quests don't mention these tomestones at all. And it seems like "Meteor" is indeed an operation name involving crashign Dalamud into Eorzea.

Wen missed out on so much getting to see only 1/3 of the story

Here is a link to a vid for the quest Like Father, Like Son. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6PVOWvMbP4

I hope this helps ^^

Erm so it wiped out Bozja Citadel >.>

Where do you think the major moon impact will be? Where do you want it to be?

Somewhere in or north-east of The Black Shroud considering the original intentions behind the whole ordeal.

Is it big enough that it will cover all three main areas?

I doubt it, but it'll be big enough to effect the terrain in every zone for sure.

Days before the change, will it black out (Red out) the sky?

That would be awesome, but I doubt it.

Can the machine that brings it down control where it lands or is it like a magnet which pulls the moon directly to it?

I cannot say, but that would be awesome.

Lastly... and this is just me hoping... but do you think there will be some big delicious cutscene showing Eorzea mangled by the red monstrosity?

I hope so.

-we can't implement titan or leviathan because of what happened in japan. look forward to how we crush a moon against the planet though!
-wouldn't that cause tsunamis too?
-oh YEAH.

anyway, its totally hitting mordonna

I recall them just saying they wouldn't implement Leviathan or Titan within a certain the specific timeframe... not that they wouldn't be implemented.

The Twin Adder quest you learn that they have tried to use meteor once before and that they could not control where Dalamud would fall... it apparently it hit somewhere call Bozja Citadel or at least it cause something bad there to happen. Though now they think they have a means to control where it will land... we shall see!

You seem to be the most bemused kitty I ever have known. :3

So do we need to find the name of the Maelstrom quest?

I think the quest is called... Alive... or it is The Weakest Link. I'm not too sure though.

And yes I'm am lol!

Its possible Dalamud doesn't ever "land" or "crash".

Many concept art shows the aether/crystal's to want to float away (supposedly towards Dalamud's power). Its possible that it stops falling and hovers (over Mordana?) at some point, or Cid finds a way to stop it etc.

Something the size of Dalamud crashing into Eorzea would destroy the entire planet most likely so I am sort of assuming the terraforming for 2.0 will just be because Dalamud either got really close and the aether went through turmoil before it returned to space or that it hovers somewhere where its power is still present but never actually impacts the surface. (obviously with better storyline than that tho!)

Ok what I know so far... The Alleg created Dalamud and also there are some stones or tombstones that have magic powers to control the fall of Dalamud. The Empire has already tried to use meteor ones and it fell uncontrolled on the imperial citadel of Bozja destroying it completely. The empire is now trying to find these so called Alleg tombstones so that they might control where Dalamud falls...

I mentioned this on another thread, but I think Dalamud will be destroyed by summoned primals before it hits, but in a manner where it's debris falls as a star shower not unlike what we've seen in the main scenario cutscenes, so instead of one big crater (which if Dalamud is the size of a small moon would turn Eorzea into an extension of the sea) we get wide-spread destruction over most of Eorzea, and we have an explainable means of surviving the cataclysm. It also explains how the entire continent will be affected by the coming disaster.

Careful, there are people on this forum who will vilify you for trying to explain anything in a fantasy setting with science. I do agree with Dalamud not making planetfall for pretty much the same reason however.

There has to be some connection to mana as to how the whole world changes. Since an impact on the continent would just create ugly territories and not make much sense as to why the graphics are different as well as why areas are completely changed. My guess is the moon's impact will cause the world to meta-morph in a way the empire had not anticipated or the Grand Companies find a way to limit the damage the moon will have on the planet but using such a tactic will cause a metamorphosis on the land. Whatever the case though there has to be some concept in which the world transforms, I highly doubt that their will be a crater created from the moon.
