I met a French journalist in Ul'dah

I don't have time to translate it, but we talked about the fanatics event happening in town (purple aetherite). The journalist didn't seem to know much about it but he hinted the fanatics might actually be from the Empire! Who knows...
We also talked about the Moogle, apparently the journalist wanted the weapons too.... for a profit.
Then, he told me about an adventurer on a weird mount, a Goobbue! Goodbbue are pretty much confirmed to be the next mount now.

I was also given 50 magicked prism at the end of the interview.
(which is funny because I just had bought two from the market wards to know what those were, hahaha)

I can't seem to get into the pruple aetherite in town, but I least I got my hand on some pretty nice GM conversation.

That was a really great conversation. I enjoyed it. I'll take a stab at translating, though I'm not that great at French sometimes, and English isn't my first language XD. To save you time, ya know? (Also taking away that guy who kept interrupting and all the emotes)

Dural Tharal: Maybe I'll be more lucky next time and find adventurers who understand me next time!
Twilie Sylfei: Hello!
Twilie Sylfei: How are you, my love?
Dural Tharal: Hello, adventurer! I'm doing well! I'm back!
Twilie Sylfei: What brings you here?
Dural Tharal: Well, I thought I understand many things have occured since my last visit and...
Twilie Sylfei: You're right, it appears that a bunch of fanatics are causing some trouble.
Dural Tharal: ... and I thought that you'd be able to talk to me a bit about your latest adventures!
Dural Tharal: Oh! Some fanatics?
Twilie Sylfei: My latest adventures? Sure, why not?
Twilie Sylfei: Yes, yes! The fanatics!
Dural Tharal: But what do they want? And what are they doing here, in Eorzea?
Twilie Sylfei: Unfortunately, I haven't had the pleasure (displeasure?) of meeting them, but I've talked to people about them!
Twilie Sylfei: They've said that they seek to make blood flow for Dalamund.
Twilie Sylfei: It seems to be a trap.
Twilie Sylfei: The adventurers to answer the call are falling right into the fanatics' trap, who want to kill them.
Twilie Sylfei: And, all of that starts here in the city, right here!
Dural Tharal: But you could do something against that, right?
Twilie Sylfei: I'm afraid the guards haven't done much to expose these people, the ones who invite adventurers to certain death.
Twilie Sylfei: Maybe.
Twilie Sylfei: But every time I've heard their calls I get there too late, when the fanatics' event had already started.
Twilie Sylfei: There seems to be no set pattern for their coming here, beckoning for adventurers, so it's impossible to foresee when they'll strike next.
Dural Tharal: Oof! And what stance do the Grand Companies hold in this matter? Can't they orginize themselves and repel these fanatics? Can't they talk reason into the adventurers?
Twilie Sylfei: Maybe you've heard something that could help me ascertain a proper time in which to come and confront these fanatics?
Twilie Sylfei: I would certainly love that!
Dural Tharal: Si je les avais aux commandes, ça serait un gil à chaque fois qu'un aventurier résiste aux charmes de ces fanatiques... [I don't really understand what this means. "If it were up to me, it would be one gil per adventurer who could resist the fanatics' charms" seems to be the closest translation I can think of... but it makes no sense to me...]
Twilie Sylfei: Do you think I should go to my superior in my Grand Company and talk to him about this?
Dural Tharal: I think we should try anything before it's too late! You should do it, yes...
Twilie Sylfei: Duly noted.
Dural Tharal: In fact... I haven't seen the Empire for a while! Could it be possible that the Empire is behind this?
Twilie Sylfei: You think!?
Twilie Sylfei: It seems possible... hmmm.
Dural Tharal: I think we should keep an eye out and talk to, inform the other adventurers!
Dural Tharal: You agree, right?
Twilie Sylfei: Very well. You can count on me!
Twilie Sylfei: It would explain a lot of things, if they were, indeed, from the Empire.
Dural Tharal: From some past news, the Empire seemed to be interested in Ifrit's powers and weapons... But, I'm not sure about that right now.
Dural Tharal: The Empire has been so sneaky recently, that I don't know anymore...
Twilie Sylfei: I've battled Ifrit, myself, but happily the Empire hasn't succeeded in taking Ifrit.
Dural Tharal: Good! Finally something good!
Twilie Sylfei: You're right, we should stay vigilant despite the recent dimished Imperial presence.
Twilie Sylfei: However, I do wonder what they're preparing...
Dural Tharal: I also overheard an adventurer, in the tavern, talking about Moogles.
Dural Tharal: He seemed drunk, though there was still a head over his shoulders.
Twilie Sylfei: Ah, yes! I tried my luck against them, but to no avail just yet.
Dural Tharal: He was talking about weapons and creatures sweeter [cuter?] and smaller than Lalafells.
Twilie Sylfei: I don't why yet, the Moogles, I mean, but I can tell you right now that they're not being sweet [again, this could be "cute", but I'm not sure] at the moment!
Dural Tharal: Ahhh, finally some confirmation. Indeed, I thought I was THE cutest and sweetest creature in Eorzea!
Twilie Sylfei: Hahahaha!
Dural Tharal: Do you know any adventurers who have gotten something from the Moogles?!
Dural Tharal: Buuuut, have here who's magnificent in all reality. But tell me, those weapons... are they valuable? Hmm?
Twilie Sylfei: I've seen some adventures parading around with their Moogle weapons in town, but not anymore.
Gukswar Ultimate: The weapons have a lot of charm! [This is a random guy that's been saying random things the whole time]
Twilie Sylfei: Indeed, lots of charm! Like the Moogles, haha!
Dural Tharal: Hmm, if I could get my hands on those weapons, I could open up a small business, hehehe.
Twilie Sylfei: Good luck. Even I haven't gotten to that point.
Dural Tharal: Hey ho, don't forget that I, too, have a lot of charm!
Twilie Sylfei: Indeed, sir, lots of charm...
Twilie Sylfei: Tell me, good sir Duval, have you heard of any other advernturers' news?
Dural Tharal: Speaking of succeeding... or failing... As I was leaving to take a breather between writing two articles, I thought I saw a very strange figure not so long ago.
Twilie Sylfei: Yes?
Twilie Sylfei: What did it look like?
Twilie Sylfei: ....that figure.
Dural Tharal: Yes, an adventurer that tried to master a strange creature. I think he was trying to tame it!
Twilie Sylfei: Really? Did it fly?
Twilie Sylfei: The figure?
Dural Tharal: Maybe so it could use it in the future? Maybe to travel more easily!
Twilie Sylfei: I, myself, am very interested in the new mounting possibilities.
Dural Tharal: It seems to me that this creature was too big and imposing to be able to fly.
Twilie Sylfei: What do you think it was?
Twilie Sylfei: A lizard?
Dural Tharal: Well, I'm not a bestiary expert, but I think this adventurer seemed on edge while treating the creature and shouted several things that I could not understand correctly.
Twilie Sylfei: I see... interesting!
Twilie Sylfei: i hope to find more information on this in the future!
Dural Tharal: It sounded very "Goobaaaa" "Gooobbbb" "Gooob-something-if-you-know-what-I-mean."
Twilie Sylfei: I know people that will be very interesting in hearing about this.
Twilie Sylfei: Goobbue?
Twilie Sylfei: This is great!
