    about the swords of dalamud

    So I was browsing the Libra Eorzea during some downtime and out of curiosity, I ended up checking the Enemies-tab.
    Down there, there are some pretty odd places:
    Ragnarok Central Core : T5, area with Twintania & the adds.
    Ragnarok Drive Cylinder : T4 mobs
    The Ragnarok : I guess T3 mobs

    So I though, are we having all the legendary swords (ragnarok, excalibur etc.) as the areas for Binding Coil?

    I wouldn't know.
    Need to remember, however, that the Ragnarok has more meaning in XIV than just as a sword, it has been both a beast (FFVI), a summon (FFVI), a starship (FFVIII) and world-destroyer battleship (FFIX)

    Ragnarok was a sword in FFIX, Invincible is that battleship in FFIX.

    Considering we're dealing with cores, drive cylinders, and that it used to be in space, my first thought is actually the spaceship.

    Why'd I think Ragnarok was the battleship in IX?

    Oh, wait, it's a certain cat's fault. I will have your ears, Teakwood >:E
    That aside, thanks for the correction

    it was the airship/spaceship in FFVIII - "Lagunarock" in the EU version, which can very well be a bad transposition of 'Ragnarok' (given the japanese pronounciation of Ls and Rs, i think some adaptor thought to reverse the Rs into Ls... I call for inaccuracy)

    I don't remember ever seeing Lagunarock in the original nor the Platinum Edition EU versions of the game I've owned.

    Yoshi-P is doing his best and is patching Endwalker. Please wait warmly until it is ready.

    Ragnarok was also the beast that destroyed Cocoon in XIII.

    Keep in mind that Ragnarok is also an important event in Norse mythology, somewhat similar to the apocalypse (although the world is said to be reborn afterwards).

    In fact, I can only find references for Ragnarok as sword in various games (and anime/manga, possibly fantasy literature but not sure about that).

    I just need to put this in here... But while the Ragnarok is an event the cycle in which it happens is called the cycle of Apocatastasis and Epkyrosis...
    No you go to your Black Mage and check your skills, one that grants you elemental defense named Apocatastasis (the time in which the world returns to it's original form) and when a person can't be buffed by it it has a debuff called Epkyrosis (the time in which the world is destroyed. Ragnarok is essentially the movement from Apocatastasis into Epkyrosis)

    I could have gotten some details wront from there but...

    I love those details
