    Scholars of Baldesion

    I just randomly happened upon this, but I want to call attention to this. The Scholars of Baldesion take some inspiration from Final Fantasy V. Let's review some Evidence:

    http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/K...ayer_Baldesion

    The full name of FFV's Krile is Krile Mayer Baldesion. Another interesting point is in one cut scene (I believe the final CS in 2.2) Minfillia says "Krile... if only you were here." That really struck me...

    I'm betting the leader of the Scholars of Baldesion is this Krile person. Most likely she'll be a fairly young Sharlayan girl. She may also have some connection to Moogles or some draconian species.

    I'm sure there are other V references around them I'm missing.

    Gilgamesh is the most obvious reference. Even before you get the Battle on the Big Bridge in DF, you encounter him "hiding" behind doors. The majority of his speech is lifted right from FFV.

    Must… have… more… EX-Death…

    http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/F..._XIV/Allusions is a good start, and shows that FFXIV features references from all FF games - Yoshi-P wanted the game to be a fan-service thank-you to all the FF games that came before it, so yeah, FFV references are expected.

    The question becomes what would it be? with some of the recent additions to weaponry for Arcanist classes, I'd doubt there'd be a two handed book.

    Okay then. that's what I'll do. I'll tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgement. All these people who's ancestors devoted themselves to you, sacrificed themselves to you. Can you hear them singing?
