Live letter is almost here

I think it might be an orchestrion because '' gods revel '' sounds like we are going to enjoy some godly festivities in the next alliance raid, and what goes well with reveling but music. I'm very excited because one of my favorite tropes in fantasy is gods and other great mythical beings having a good ol' time having a party, and potentially causing damage to people, structures and the environment because they are just too powerful.

I think part of the Revel naming is due to at least one of the set of gods we will be getting this round as they did show off the relm of Earth in a screen shot. As we will get Nophica and Althyk God of time and the goddess of the harvest. I wonder if we will get a Dread Persephone type deal or something closer to how Demeter was while Persephone was in the Underworld in where nothing grew and not even a Goddess connected to rainbows could cheer her up. As Nophica's whole thing is being a jubilant nature goddess whose only time they got "I'm going to break some legs." was when Halone went on that walk with Oschon. So yeah can't revel too much if you don't have enough food and a lot of time. I wonder if they will touch on All Saints Wake with this tier. Since a party in the relm of the gods is what is said to be happening during then.

Will it be Ice then Earth and have Nophica be the final boss so that Gridania gets an In the Balance-esque type song at the end or will it be Earth and Ice and want to show off how they like to party? Course we could just be over thinking the party theme.

Have to admit, I'm looking forward to hearing the song most of all - the music is consistently amazing!

It'd be amazing if we got some sort of 'rocked up' version of the New Gridania 'theme' music.

Unless they shake up the order we've already started doing them in, it will be Nophica > Althyk > Halone > Menphina. Then the next one will be Thaliak > Nymeia > Llymlaen > Oschon (who I'm pretty sure is already among us).

The first four already went in the order they're found in the book. And while it would be nice to have a song for each starter-city god(dess), I don't see them randomly ending the whole thing on Llymlaen with a gigantic epic battle like all end-caps to alliance raids have. It seems obvious that Deryk or his opo-opo is Oschon since we already have minions representing all of the Twelve (plus the sun and the moon) hanging out in the Realm of the Gods, but we're missing one.

Oschon is also different and set aside from the others in the creation myth. All of the gods except Oschon and Nald'Thal either came out of "the Whorl" or were born by gods who did. Oschon randomly just showed up one day. Nald'Thal himself was created by Oschon making a fountain of magma that cooled and became the twin god.

Late to the party for my own thread lol. I know its just a tease for part 2 but im still hyped. Myth and msq aside it looks like were going back to the first for various reasons, one of them being the relic weapons. Also if the loporrits dont have a costume at the end of the tribe quests then ill riot... Ingame...By petting them all.

I think I'm more curious about the "lands tremble" part, because the patch names are typically relevant to the MSQ in some manner.

Perhaps signs of whatever this "great change" coming to the world is are going to start showing themselves during the course of the void storyline already, though the two may not necessarily be directly connected.

Iirc 6.2 buried memories was a reference to pandaemonium and athena.

I feel like it's pointless to read too much into the patch titles. Too often they seem to be oblique references or "things that sound cool" but have little resemblance to anything that happens in the story.

Doubly so if the title implies some kind of death (see: A Requiem for Heroes, Death Unto Dawn) because so far they don't seem to carry through.


Also, the comma in Gods Revel, Lands Tremble" makes it feel really awkward as a title.

Another thing that only got briefly covered is the next custom delivery client, which is a leaf monster in Il Mheg:



I guess one of their leaf men regained consciousness?

[Enkidoh]

Well, considering that's a random plant creature found in Labyrinthos of all places.... hard to say (one even appears as a Rank B Hunt there called 'Green Archon')... so, your guess is as good as mine.

Iirc 6.2 buried memories was a reference to pandaemonium and athena.

Also it could have been considered a round-about reference to the 6.2 main scenario with Zero and her Memoriate power and the memoria crystals created from that (after all, the WoL gets a few Echo visions from the memories of the voidsent contained within - literally 'buried memories').

So whether 6.3's title will also coincidentally be an oblique reference to the new main scenario coming is a good question.

I doubt that they will mix things up in the raid via the order. It just would seem odd to give an In the Balance type song to would be the first fight. As the song is very much not only a song befitting the Twin Gods but is seen as a love letter to Ul' Dah. So the devs have already set up expectations to have Limsa and Gridania's patron deities have similar songs. Course they could give us two unique songs this time as I'm sure Mrs. muderhobo who is worshipped by Ishgard could also be seen as worthy of another banger. Some people do want to be surprised by the devs. And as I said in another post the alters in the zone don't match what seems to be what we will be getting if one were to go clockwise from the two we got. Though it does make some sense. As Earth and Ice are the first two on the right side.

Hmmm... even so if we were to go with which alter we went to first and then visited 2nd it would be Ice and then Earth as the Ice alter is first followed by Earth's. And now I think Menphina is the rabbit cause lol moon bunny.
