    Spotted this screenshot on Reddit, explaining the Samurai's battle design.

    Mostly I wanted to make a note to myself of the "three forces" of Snow, Moon, and Flower. In other words, Setsu Gekka (雪月花), which I've been spotting here and there in other media. Tl;dr it's a theme in old Japanese art to signify nature and the seasons.

    I admit I'm not as familiar with it compared to the other nature-themed saying, "Kachou Fuugetsu" (花鳥風月), but presumably the Job designers wanted to keep it to three or fewer stacks/stances/buttons.

    Other Japanese stuff: "Sen" (閃) means "flash", as in "of lightning" or "of a sword". Usually 一閃, or "Issen".

    Hingashi (ひんがし) is just another way to say "east" (東). Of course, it might mean something different in the world of FFXIV, but for now the official translation of "Far Eastern Country" works.

    The box art was interesting. Most of those characters appear to be ones we haven't met yet.

    I am a bit worried by this that they might be somewhat light on Ala Mhigo this expansion from what we have seen so far. Doma will good but I am far more interested in Ala Mhigo at the moment and apart from one zone we have seen almost nothing on it.

    Maybe Yugiri meant it was as good as destroyed for the refugees. Or maybe we're just going to reclaim the ground it was on and help the Domans rebuild.
    She does say it was razed to the ground as an example to the other provinces after an attempted rebellion so I don't think that was a figurative statement (Mother of Exiles quest, cutscene #1 for anyone interested).

    Possible that they've been allowed to rebuild. Also possible that it's a goof between translations - not hard to imagine a case where "razed to the ground" is a viable translation but ends up being inaccurate only once later information is provided.

    Checked the EE to see if it said anything extra and it mentions the same - that it was razed to the ground as an example to others.

    Also, it's so early for me that I don't actually remember if we saw images of Doma or not on the stream (plenty of Kugane, which looks amazing), so I can't remember if there was evidence of damage or rebuilding.

    Also...Azim Steppes.

    Holy crap. Didn't think we'd see the home area of the Xaela any time soon.

    Found a screenshot of the new world map, again from Reddit.

    The far Eastern section of the map caught my attention.



    Because of course the Far East has the Four Mythological Creatures surrounding it.

    I am surprised that the Xaela have such a large structure built since most of them are nomads.

    It could be their "capital" of sorts or maybe a temple dedicated to their god:Azim


    This other structure could be the goddess Nhaam?

    Is it my imagination or the name of the island between the two continents is Thavnair (maybe) ?

They could handle a lot of stuff in patches through dungeons, of course, but that won't result in a liberated city unless they add new zones up update the existing zones heavily.

    Come to think of it...wasn't it stated/implied that not all Ala Mhigans would necessarily want to be 'liberated'? Realistically, seeing what Ilberd did should make a lot of Ala Mhigans think twice about siding with anyone looking to shake things up.

    It is, along with Radz-at-Han.

    I'm actually quite curious about that flying whale southwest of the big Garlemald Tower. Super-sized Bismarck?

    The only thing lacking on the map now is the southern continent of Meracydia

    Um,I guess we are going to be a killing machine then and that total war is a given, since we are attempting to take two countries.

    I don't know how to feel about this. Like, yay adventure and conflict, but, I'm kinda with Theodoric here. Not so much a worry that Garlemeld will be beaten by wierd odds, but that in fighting them, everything becomes acceptable, so long as it is towards destroying them as a nation and as a people. (I may be confused as to what total war is, but not in that atrocities can and would be made by both sides)
