Thread: 2.5 - Before the Fall

Yes, and no. Assuming that the expansion will come in the same time frame as content patches have been done, they could easily release the 2.5 content patch and be done with it until the expansion is released three months later. Again, this is assuming that the expansion will be coming three months after the last content patch. What I was trying to get at was that I hope the patch isn't being deliberately being split because they need/ or is more time between the patch and the expansion than what people believe there is or will be. As of right now, they mentioned that the patch was going to be split because of the massiveness of the content as a whole. I just dont want to see them drop 2.5 later this month, 2.51 a month or more after than, and 2.55 more than two months after the initial patch.

For even ground most likely, otherwise you might get gangs of players whose Free Companies pumped their chocobos full of choco-roids to stomp the competition.

The Hildibrand storyline has everything. Zombies, pretty girls, intrigue, gilgamesh, ultros and the gunhalbred of Nael. All it needs is Jandelaine and a Scion to make it a complete Final Fantasy experience.

At any rate, not Hildibrand himself I welcome the chance to learn more about the Manderville family. We know Hildibrand is a detective and that Godbert is a world famous goldsmith and philantropist with superhuman skills who is a member of the Syndicate, but beyond that, nothing.

This. Painfull it is to accept, but your grand comany chocobo is, just that. a mount used by a military organisation. It is NOT fit for competitive sports. Looks like we will own at least 3 chocobos .

YEAH ME AND BUTTSTALLION WISH TO RACE!

I still think Nero makes it out of WoD more or less alive and will be the one that mentors DRK in 3.0. I think he'll end up in Gridania since there's no tank guild there yet.

As to the Main Story surprise, I think that most people have felt a little conflicted fighting Shiva as her goals pretty much align with ours. The Keeper of the Lake will probably show us that the Dravanians are on our side - which is fairly obvious considering they fought against the Garlean invasion as well - and that the real issue is the religious nutters that control Ishgard. The Battle for Ishgard will be about changing that regime to one that is more friendly to outsiders (so we can get in) and which can reach a truce with the Dravanians (so we can get out into the skies beyond it without having to fight Dragons all the time). I assume that we'll have Frosty (Iceheart) on our side in that battle (though not in Shiva form). I suspect that we will find that the leadership in Ishgard is really in control of the Dravanian Horde, and uses them to justify their autocratic rule. So I suspect we will battle the Ishgard leadership, both in human and in dragon form.
