Thread: 2.5 - Before the Fall

Zodiark is technically just another Primal, 2.0 is meant to conclude the Primal threat storyline, so it's likely the Ascians/Zodiark will be dealt with by the end. They could always return though, I kind of get the feeling that Lahabrea is making his own plans...

That said, I doubt the Mystery Trial will be anything significant to the story, considering it is in 2.5 not 2.51+ where the story concludes... I find it far more likely it will be another Ultima Ballad style fight, perhaps with Gaius van Baelsar and his team of utter weaklings.

East, then to the past, then west, if Final Fantasy XI is anything to go off. Who's to say Zodiark is even the only dark god? They've got plenty they can do given XIVs fanservice nature.

I don't think we should be so sure of this, seeing as how two new Primals have already been announced for Heavensward. Maybe there will be less of a focus on them than before, but I don't think the concept is going away any time soon.

Im surprised 2.5 is coming out Jan 20th. Thought for sure it would be something like first week of february.

There will be much to do in patch 2.5, and before we bombard you with more in part 2, we’ll be offering players a change of pace with patch 2.51, which focuses on the introduction of the Gold Saucer. It bears mentioning, however, that the establishment is known as the Manderville Gold Saucer in Eorzea. You’ll have to check it out for yourself to figure out where this moniker came from. Including chocobo racing, chocobo breeding, and the return of the FF card game Triple Triad, you can look forward to a fun and relaxing time in the Gold Saucer.

Chocobo Breeding with Golden Saucer confirmed ^^
Maybe connected with Racing like in VII, where you start with an average Chocobo and have to breed faster Chocobos with it.

For the VIIth legion it was more because they ignored every order from Garlemald after Nael death to fulfill Nael last order.
