Revelations from EU Fan Fest (October 2023)

Oh goddess, the reference to "cereleum deposits" and a railway being built in Shaaloani (in the new desert area)... this is only going to give fuel to the headcanon theories about Garlean remnants in Tural, although I hope it's just Eorzean business interests (read: Ul'dah). Mainly because I don't want to eat my words. :P

Could've sworn I've seen cutscenes where Garleans are pushing carts with those little blue lights on the end that are shown in that "mako reactor" artwork.

Then again the railroad doesn't look very Garlean-ish and it would be more interesting if the whole thing came from a culture we haven't met yet rather than Allagans or Garleans all over again.

We do have Moblins so maybe some more goblin highjinks?

I'm not sure how I feel about the 24man being more XI. Maybe we'll get more Iroha as at the end of her questline from the cross over she walks away munbling something about needing to hone her skills more. Not a lot of people enjoyed Eureka with its old school vibe. That was to emulate how XI was/is. Without the needing to auto-attack just so you can use a skill. I came here mostly due to having done all of what was supposed to be all the story it was going to get before going into maintenance mode. Yes I had fun in XI, but I do not miss a lot about it. Though that's probably more to do with the social aspect than the game itself. That and for most of its lifespan it wasn't low man if not solo friendly. I'd say it probably still isn't as I'm sure you still need the right trusts and gear sets inorder to solo a lot of the game. Which I doubt a lot of newer players wouldn't have or know how to get. Just the same with how Eureka and Bozja are solo friendly.
