Info on the Lodestone!

[Dragonhaven]

reposting I put this in another thread by mistake :P

Think the entrance to the harder duengons are going to be a skull with the "lightning" around it as a "barrier" looks strangly familar... /vomit (I know its underdevelopment)

Since im qqing at the look here is an idea...
Why not use a moogle for the instance intrance your in the right regon they wander around doing moogle biz in the woods yelling at you for angering ferngully. "Its dangerous to go in there kupo. We are blocking the kupo way in kupo. The forest tells me you have been chosen to free us from this doom kupo." (moogle uses magic to put your party in the instance).

What about the conjurer npcs who warn you of the "hell" that lies beyond and that the empire being in there sifting through the doom is someway related to the end of the world.... you go in vader shows up you get a cool fight where you cut off his mask it looks like the take on me video with color.. you know the rest (lol couldent resist).

In the other hand, i presume they are putting some of these things in lodestone instead of game, only because they a have no time to programm them in it. Well, i could think when the things wil go smooth/normal maybe we'll see these things directly in game.

The RP doesn't stand for Lore either.

RPing to me means actually doing something, not reading about other people doing something. But whatever.

Happy to see anything~!

What do you guys think?

I'm a bit bummed that it looks like we can't be a part of all the different city-state companies.



Reference:


"The Grand Companies of Eorzea Return!
The Grand Companies of Eorzea are a military alliance of nations united in common cause to avert imminent catastrophe from engulfing the realm, each city-state charged with mustering its resources under the banner of an elite regiment. At their commanders' behests, the companies have begun petitioning able men and women to join their ranks regardless of birth and standing. In due time, that selfsame clarion call will sound out to those intrepid individuals known as adventurers.

To be a part of the Grand Companies is to be a part of history in the making. Grow strong through cooperation and rivalry, and earn yourself boundless glory and a place in history. Will you lend your stout sword arm to the cause?


Do Your Part for the Survival of Eorzea!
The first step to joining the Grand Companies involves enlisting in one of three regiments: the Maelstrom, helmed by Chief Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn; the Order of the Twin Adder, lead by Elder Seedseer Kan-E-Senna; or the Immortal Flames, commanded by Flame General Raubahn Aldynn. To ensure the optimal allocation of manpower, a trial enlistment system will be established whereby individuals can discover firsthand with which company's ethos they most closely identify—it matters not wherefrom one hails.

In time, you will find yourself prompted to formally enlist. To which company would you swear allegiance? For whom would you lay down life and limb? Only you will know the answer to these questions.

Upon induction, you will be awarded the initial rank given to all new recruits, and may count yourself among elite. Company members will be assigned missions vital and diverse in nature, ranging from skirmishes with Garlean forces and savage beast tribes to supply replenishment and manufacturing. Whatever your strength and specialty, rest assured in the knowledge that your presence will make a difference.

Prove your worth by unfailingly completing the tasks assigned, and you will climb the ranks and be entrusted with missions of greater import and issued powerful equipment befitting your prowess. As a special provision exempts adventurers from bound service, you are free to take up the cause at your own pace and convenience. Yet know that disaster waits for no man, like a dark cloud overhead spreading its shadowy demesne ahead of the coming storm. And when the day of reckoning arrives, all adventurers will find their steel tested to the farthest limit. "

Enjoy my good people! This all the info we gonna see for a month lol! :P

Because all you do is make vague complaints that SE doesn't know what you need. Which in reality is a falicy because you don't need anything from SE. You Want. and your wants suck.

They don't have time to read. Too busy not releasing content.
