Theory on the moons.

It's a UFO and it's coming to steal our women and rape our Aldgoat Nanny's.

Actually SE has been known to present lore from within the world that is flat out wrong based on your character experiencing the truth through missions.

See CoP. Most of what is taught through lore is proved wrong when you discover the real purpose of the five races being created. Along with the song and its verses. And the crystal guardians.

Nier was an awesome game!

(the JP PS3 version, of course. not the Huge McUgly version).

It indeed was a great game. Though I think it would have done better as a whole if they had unified the game across all platforms and just made it so you picked at the beginning if you wanted to play young or old Nier.

Its definatly Meteor, Cid only says that one word and at same time this so called moon changes color. Co-incidence?

I believe what they thought to be twin moons orbiting their planet is infact one moon which has trapped a meteor in its own gravitational pull and this meteor is now orbiting the planets satalite. Some event is now causing this meteor to glow red and it might even possibly break orbit from the larger moon.

I believe they are planning to change the maps for Thanalan, black shroud and la noscea? What better way to do this than explain this change with a catostophic impact from meteor

Just imagine it getting nearer and nearer to the planet the closer we get to the patch that will change the maps. With the final few days before the patch goes live, meteor would be very large in the sky at night and during the day. It would be awsome.

If the entire meteor did hit the planet it obviously woiuld destroy everything but I believe it will break up in the planets atmopsphere with 3 large chunks of the metor hitting thanalan, black shroud and la noscea causing and explaining the changes we will be getting to these maps!

This hopefully.

LOL where have you been all of my life?!

You haven't played very many SE games have you? They tend to spend the first half of the game slamming the same rules at you over and over and over again until you get comfortable and then BAMF* All of a Sudden, YOUR the bad guy and you just kill and entire civilization of people. (lolnier)

This is an MMORPG...

This is an MMORPG...

FFXI

Half the story given to you at the beginning in XI and XI:RoTZ is actually False, and the truth revealed in COP.

lol sorry "This is an MMORPG" isn't a great argument point.

MMORPG's break lore more often then any other game anyway.

In the theme song "Answers" there is a line...

Mired by a plague of doubtful and cheap lore.
Judgement binds all we hold to a memory of scorn.

Quite clearly Ifrit is riding on that Meteor. Aren't all of his attacks in previous games meteor type attacks? And we all know he's coming at some point.

Thats no moon its a battle station!!!! Haha I saw this on the ferry to Limsa except the smaller body was white. I commented to my linkshell and about the fireworks display at night in the instanced Limsa dock area waiting for ferry. If you havent seen it check it out its kinda neat.
