.... I was working my way through FFIV and now the story has been ruined for me.... RUINED I SAY! >:O

j/k

I think the big red moon Dalamund is some sort of uber nasty meteor that's coming down to roflpwn Eorzea. The thing with the moon mice is they're being controlled by the rat king (who has something to do with dalamund I'd imagine) and basically all hell is gonna break loose at some point.

The whole Dalamund meteor thing makes it easier to do the Eorzea reshaping that's being planned as it'd have a story to go with it instead of just "oh well y'know one day everything suddenly changed for no apparent reason!".

At least that's what I think it was... it was mentioned in another thread earlier this week anyways.

Also if you talk to the guy in Ul'dah that keeps shouting about Dalamund being red he explains why the moon mice have the moon jewellery.
