Info on the Lodestone!

[Duelle]

It's a valid point. Maybe there are people who like reading FFXIV fanfiction online, but there are lots of people that just like playing the video game they signed up for instead.

Except it's not fanfiction when the damn company that is making the game is releasing these story bits.

Fanfiction is more like those character stories by players, or the Red Mage unlock/AF quests I've been drafting in my free time. The stuff seen on the Lodestone is as official as you can get. It's lore and it matters too, you know.

Not really trying to put up a defense for the fuzzy (electrical interference) images, but...I dont think they would throw in images of some of the stronger looking enemies so soon. Besides I think the entrance to the dungeon is probably going to be through one of the current dungeons...so maybe its just the front?

Wishful thinking... This is FFXIV we're talking about. INC Marmot and Ladybug megabosses!...

look at the picture again...

that's a huge djigga, maybe he's a djigga boss

You jest now...but if they release the Black Rabite, I assure you, the blood of many shall be on your hands.

Lol, I want a Giant Spriggan, or Snurble >_>

The snurble would be half its normal size btw. lulz.

They've created a TON of content and lore for lodestone that has nothing to do with the game.

I think the easter event closing text was some of the best writing and I was very sad to see that none of that text nor any of the events talked about there were present in the game in any form. All the NPC quest dialogue is generic at best.

They did that with ff11 btw..... And they said the lodestone is for bring lore out also.

Honestly for those who are complaining about this, just quit. SE alsways did this when it came to ffxi. They do BACK STORIES. About upcoming content or around events. Since it is hard to present it in game ontop of the current events. Honestly there is nothing to complain about here. SE did this stuff with ffxi. And no one cried about it. And those who are complaining about the Role play style of getting info, this IS an mmoRPG.
Sorry but honestly think some people need to just stop crying over very little thing.

This also goes for holiday events.

Agreed. The only other way to present this in the game would be to present lodestone messages in the boot page. Like after you log-in and it takes you to the page that has the "play" button, should be a list from the lodestone. Notice how there is a Boot version, which hasn't been updated at all since release.

If they can't connect the lore to the players, how about connecting players to the lore?

Make inclusion into the lore as a potential reward for participants. The next Buront could be you! : points at random group of folks not in the forum. :

Not Bragging or anything >.> Back in the day before the TP nerf. I had a Mithra named Nuala who was a Dragoon one of the first to 75 after ROTZ/US Release.

Nuala is one of the leaders of the Lancer group in Gridania :P
