Thread: FFXIV 1.0 original story BEFORE Yoshi-P took over

At the NA Fanfest they more or less confirmed that Travanchet was dropped entirely. He was going to be part of what seemed to be a much slower build-up to the reveal of what the Ascians were - like we'd get full answers about that at the *end* of 1.x or somesuch.

With the revised plot, the lore and story team decided to massively accelerate a couple of reveals, including going straight to dealing with the Ascian overlords and the true nature of Dalamud and whatnot. Travanchet is more or less pointless at this juncture (it's insinuated he was one of those lesser Ascians who doesn't even have a fancy mask) and there's no real point in going back to him. Might be a bummer for some folks, but them's the breaks.
