Nael Van Darnus returns!

[BloodPact]

I still have my Lunar Curtains. Bring it on!

I still have them too... and every time I see them on my retainer I think to myself: Why do I even have this still? Then I close the inventory window and carry on, and leave them there, again.

I still have my Lunar Curtains. Bring it on!

Got my white ravens to give him a little reminder ;D

The Second Coming

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"

Yeats

If we fight him in turn 9, i'll cry blood

[Zhi]

I think this is a good summary from 1.0:

Corvus fortis!
Corvus fortis!
Corvus fortis ascendit!

Superne videt praeteritum
Praesentem et futurum videt

Res evertuntur repente
Ad unum omnes sunt mortui dei
Machinae regnabunt in caelo
Ratio regnabit in terra

Corvum candidum exhilaramus
Ecce extendit trans mundi alas
Vocat lucem rubram excidii
Fulget luce rubrae victoriae

Imperium!
Imperium!
Imperium ave!

Ave imperium!
Ave imperium!
Videte!
Testate adventu fati!
Videte!
Testate adventu Dalamud

That didn't explain much e-e

Basically Nael Van Darnus was the guy in charge of the imperial army before Gaius Van Baelsar took over in 2.0

Nael was the one behind the Dalmund Project and his goal was to use it to strike Eorzea with a huge hit destroying the false gods(primals) beast tribes, and any resistance from Eorzea. However as Dalmund came closer and closer, Nael became more and more corrupt by it, due to the elder primal Bahamut which was inside, (and eventually Nael became Branded by Bahamut near the end before his deafeat).

Nael was truly the big bad in 1.0 and if he is still alive and kicking he is going tol be a major threat due to the powers granted to him by the Elder Primal Bahamut.

returns?

Isn't he at the end of the Story mode fro the Labrynth?

[Okazaki]

returns?

Isn't he at the end of the Story mode fro the Labrynth?

In regards to players that played 1.0 towards the end he is in fact a returning character.

If we're going to be fighting him in Coil 2, I wonder how his fight will work. If the circular room with the insignia similar to Rivenroad's is going to be his battlefield (shown in teaser), then that means BLM's won't have to be on Comet watch.

The fight (Hard) from 1.23 for anyone curious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI8oib1o2_4
