Thread: Ala Mhigo = Besieged

Spontaneous cooperative Zone-PVE was always one of my favorite aspects of MMOs, and the new imperial raid parties are a fun start, so I'm in no rush. But a few friends and I were mulling over the lore and when the subject of Ala Mhigo came up, we immediately all clicked with "BESIEGED!"

The Empire wiped out the city, converted its people, and forced escapees into a hidden resistance. In a future expansion, I say, "Let's take it back." We have some amazing opportunities here.

First, let's recapture the city and rebuild it. As far as zone content goes, half-destroyed cities in the middle of rising back to power are some of my favorite artistic and lore-based concepts. Anybody agree?

And afterwards? The Empire? Bring 'em on. If they want it back, they can fight us for it. Right in the streets - Al Zahbi style. Solders, Judges, Magitek machina, bring them on. Sounds like a great way to introduce some future gear, as well: save up that city's newly developed temporary currency and trade it in for swag.

If no plans have been made for expansion packs and Ala Mhigo, how's this sound? I mean, after the Umbral Era descends and the Grand Companies begin their resurgence, we have to take back Eorzea if we plan on surviving a two-front war against the scalekin and Garlemald, yes? This sounds fun.
