[dev1031] goblin airman

[Buttons]

Haha, maybe I'll work on another picture tomorrow. I did however add the storyline idea into my blog-post. *__*

I could even see the Goblin Airmen become a recurring quest/NM for Final Fantasy XIV. Final Fantasy XI had amazing quest-lines such as the Star Onion Brigade and Babban Ny Mheillea.
The confrontation with these tricksy goblins could be a fun distraction and they could turn up every now and then when you least expect them.
You could have challenging battles, lovely rewards, funny comedic scenes and maybe even an ally in the end who helps you ally with the beastmen and confront the empire.

Build, expand, share!
Go Buttons, Go!




P.S. Make a Tarutron picture please...

This idea really has me excited now haha. I can actually see the storyline, with those three clumsy yet crafty goblins and their antics. I can't help but feel that it would definately add some life to the game. Remember the funny taru triplets in Chains of Promathia? They always made me laugh, these goblins could fulfill a similar role.

It could start as only a few quests or missions but as the game grows the developers could always involve the goblin trio into the storyline again.

The name is also open for suggestions, I liked the suggestion of Goblin Balloon Brigade.

Ooh and I see the OP has even more info in it now, good job.

Where does the assembly of the 5 Tarus that form up Tarutron come into this story? ;=;

Well, the Goblin Balloon Brigade did pilfer valuables from a very influential Lalafell family in Uldah. It is this family that first contacts you. So you get to meet new awesome Lalafell NPC and then go on your journey to hunt down the goblins who keep evading you. Not only do they always manage to be a step ahead of you, they pilfer from Limsa, Gridania and even Ishgard. They are a real pest.
Somehow their balloons have an odd enchantment protecting them, so you have difficulties confronting them. Your Lalafell employer then mentions the rumours of a little Cactuar community that the goblins despise. You find these Cactuars and are astounded that they can actually communicate with you, but it should have been logical since you have the power of the echo! A young cactuar agrees to accompany you and aid you in bringing down their pesky balloons. (Or he just gives you a special needle. xD)

Wow....fcking win lol

Maybe the only way to battle the Goblin Airman would be to steal a Garlean flying ship that you fight in the R46 mission!

Air battle like Ultima/Omega FFXI sea unlock BCNM!

buttons, i love the lore and on a side note, you play on the wrong server. you need to be on cornelia with us lol

[Keftenk]

Cactuar gang....but all of them have those funny squiggly mustaches and badass sombreros!

[Buttons]

Hehe, I like Palamecia though. xD

I really hope this idea catches on. Of course it's not something that would happen soon but I just feel it fits well into Final Fantasy and the comedic fun of these quests and fights could be what some people feel is missing.

The quest could even tie in to current side-quests in the game. As most of you know, there is a Goblin NPC in Limsa Lominsa and in his quest you inadvertedly give him information on the guard duty of the camps. So it seems the goblins are up to something.
This could easily branch into a series of Goblin Balloon Brigade missions and quests later on. It would also involve monsters into the storyline and lore a bit more, as the "echo" should enable communication with them.

I could also see the goblin trio getting into trouble with the pirates in their secret hide-out in Mistbeard Cove. The player would then have to team up with the magical puddings that live in those caves and attempt to free the goblins from the pirates.

Or in another mis-adventure, the goblins attempted to sneak into the Twelveswood but two of them got captured by the forest. Frantic with worry the youngest goblin finds you and begs for help in finding and rescueing his older brothers. So you travel to Gridania and seek the help of the Moogles of the Twelveswood. It would be a nice way to finally have more Moogle action in the game.

If I am up to it I'll make an OP in the German forums tomorrow. Would be nice to see this idea on the other forums as well. ^_^
