FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Opening Movie Now Live! (01/07/2013)

I assumed he asked "are you alright?"

Either way, I agree the word "right" is in there somewhere.

I agree lol, funny interpretation tho

[Twiddle]

Dumb comments from fanboy types mostly. A cg movie that I hadn't already seen 90% of would have been nice too. I hate that song.

Well considering that what you just saw will be the movie running when you click "opening cinematic" when you log in... I think it's fitting.. Love it or hate that's what it is... I personally think that SE did a great job with what the opening implies... New player's will have a clean slate, in no way bound to 1.0 and the tragedy... yet there is still room for the old adventurers who survived the 1.0 and have entered this new point in time... Look past the obvious...

Just think when people click "Opening cinematic" in 5 years to come, we can all say "duuuuudddddeeeee I was there, if Lou hadn't teleported us out I would have totally taken Bahamut I was charging him then poof I end up in a forest wondering WTF!!!"

Yeah I'm sure that's what he said but still funny to read his lips Didn't know he was an NA player! :O!

Still amazing how far CG animation has come. I recently re-played FFVII, tried reading Cloud's lips, and I decided he must talk like Charlie Brown's teacher.. "Whahh-wha, whah-wha-wha-whahh"

LOL xD Can't even imagine reading the lips of those old characters. Yeah I have to agree with you that the CG is just amazing with how far technology has come. Makes everything so much more beautiful :O!

You are an amazing artist and compiler.

I bookmarked your site (I also used some of your images in a few memes over at the meme forum (HEY ENKIDOH, CHECK IT OUT!).

I hope that was okay. I especially like your demoreel, showing here:

OKAY, now that my blatant advertisements and tangential remarks have been noted, back to your regularly scheduled inconsequential bickering~~~

Thanks! If you like my stuff, I invite you to like my fb page~ ^^

*ahem* Anyway, I think the midlander party teleports into the Black Shroud then rides north into Coerthas. I say this after looking at the artwork pdf map released with the original roadmap.

Here it is on ffxivmaps.com (move the sliders all the way to the left to clearly see the new maps).

I think they landed at the second to top of the right column in the second to last map (North Forest) where it says "Ruin Dungeon Entrance." They then went north to the last map (Coerthas Central Highlands) in the bottom-middle picture where it says "Zone to Forest." That pic seems to be the view the party had when they exited the forest and the geography matches.

Related notes:
-These maps may be dated/changed and is missing large chunks (entire zones are missing). That said I think my above argument still fits.
-The snowy region with Behemoth is only a small portion of Coerthas, a previously inaccessible mountain area in the past. Most of Coerthas is still a forest/mountain type region with varying degrees of snow.
-The giant yellow thing the party rides off to in the end appears to be the "Summit" in the middle of the Coerthas map.
-It would make sense to teleport back into Mor Dhona since we were there last, but it was never stated we would. So it still makes perfect sense to be teleported elsewhere and the geography of these maps seem to fit.

-The giant yellow thing the party rides off to in the end appears to be the "Summit" in the middle of the Coerthas map.

I looked closer at the map and it shows that the summit looks like snow capped mountains...I think the summit is different from the yellow structure...but your map info is great!

[KaMuiSouZou]

Yes, I agree I think the word "summit" is referring to the snow capped mountain (there are two) but to the right of them is a horizontal yellow thing. I think that's what it is.

Do the Circle members look 5 years older? I mean, an easy way to tell if they got a lift from Lou is to see if they age. If they "LOOK" older, then we can say they didn't go to the void with us (those in the Void don't age remember).

The other members of the circle were in the cities during the time Lou did his magic in Mor Dhona. I doubt his magic reached as far.
