Yeah second pic says north thanalan

I stand corrected. That does look like the kanji for north. Sounds credible seeings as how Northern Thanalan is on the border of Mor Dhona, and it'd make sense to have crystal-related stuff there.

Oh man... The lore nut inside me is in shambles. Just more signs that we can kiss the already established lore goodbye. I really, REALLY wish they'd introduce a sort of "phasing" system like they did with Guild Wars and Cataclysm(I think) where there's some sort of storyline "trigger" that takes you from the original to the "new" world. Sort of like FFVI's world of balance to ruin.

That would seem like a good way to bridge the "peaceful" Eorzea to the "Wartorn broken" one.

They do intend to link stories with each change. They aren't gonna throw them in without warning, you know. That would be stupid.

I just would like it if they would keep Ishgard intact, though. I'd like to visit that city someday. :P
