I believe the Aetherial Wheel is the first part of the free company crafting towards airship building or something like that.

**Nalien** · 12-21-2014 10:51 AM

Aetherial Wheel is Fee Company Crafting, they said at some point that the first thing you'll build together as a Free Company for Airship building is the Aetherial Wheel.

Wow, this raises a lot of questions. I'll be on the edge of my seat as new info starts to leak in.

I didnt put the WTF on the wheel btw, its from the live stream, it goes across screen lol, so any text i apologise.

Wonder why they split the story arc over two updates... I mean, I can kind of understand it, but 2.51 just seems early given that's basically right after 2.5 so still quite a ways off Heavensward...

They're probably setting us up for another "shocking finale" akin to the 1.0 ending so they're spreading out what they can over the course of the patch.

I'm wondering whether the "battle of Ishgard" thing will be along the same lines of what happened before the 1.0 servers went down.

Also, I hope its that lady who has been running the Ironworks in Cids absence. She amuses me.

I would be happy with that. Anyroad regardless of who it is I am convinced that she/he will be connected to Garlond Ironworks.

Well, probably not something THAT final. Or, who knows, with a new city state and 3 new classes, maybe we will get reverted to level one again (right when I finally reach 50 with the ninja). And we lack a Nael van Darnus like central antagonist. Still, I can totally see Midgarsomr returning to life as a mirror to Bahamut comming out of Dalamud.

I don't know if I'd be really excited for something like this...or really annoyed if a.you couldn't log that day...or b.the cutscene is so amazing you actually wanted to control your chara actions and stuff during it >.<
