History of FFXIV Lore in cutscenes please

**Venat** · 02-03-2012 05:44 PM

I would like to see Quests that shows the History of these ingame. The Storys on Lodestone are fine but I would like to see this be put into the game.

Edit: Also would like to see a Lore Book/Mission Story Book selection in our Menus. When we select it we read the selections of Lore we have discovered while playing FFXIV. Many of us take breaks and forget parts of the story and Lore of FFXIV and would be great idea to include menu option so it gives everyone a chance to refresh on the games lore. Adding some art styles from Lodestone into this would make it better.

yes please

This would be cool, dunno if they would want to do anything showing the Twelve, though. They seem to be avoiding outright depicting them. I think the Twin Adder poster is actually the only image we've seen of any of them, and even then it's supposed to be an "artist's interpretation".

It's somewhat unrelated, but it would be awesome if they had some sort of lore opening like the one they used in Wind Waker:

The art style for the King Moogle reminded me of this.

Well I think they want you to think the 12 are just the same as the greek pantheon, or any god actually, where we cannot truly know what they look like, we know only their influence. Paintings of the Christian God are, artistic interpretation, I think this is where they were going. I think since they built this game on ancient Greece, they should of expanded the 12 a little farther, 12 themed objects in certain parts of town, stories depicted on vases and the like.

As for The Twelve matter, I guess we're gettin' this kind of things for patch 1.23 (mid July 2012) with the planned content surrounding the Twelve mythos (source: FFXIV 2.0 Outline - Major Milestones).

Ya, it's fine info is on the lodestone, but annoying when it's not given in game.

So many MMOs have lore books and lore on their websites and no one complains. In 2.0 I'm sure they'll please the people who don't want to or like to read lore, so till then they'll keep utilizing their website like any other MMO website does. By the way, this 'lore' is a newspaper, so it fits perfectly with the website and doesn't necessarily need to be quests in-games. Be honest, though. those who would want these newspaper articles in the form of quests, did you enjoy or care for the current lore quests in game?

Though if they ever do become quests hopefully they lack zero reward beyond learning about lore.

They could add extra lore and cutscenes at the end of some currect Quests.

What be cool if we got Lore Books/Data that get collected ingame when we pass missions or quests and the info gets saved in our menus. Kinda like FFXIII & FFXII has.

**Estellios** · 02-04-2012 09:33 AM

Well, I hope plot-important points aren't entirely in data books like FF13's was ><

I never remembered but I found my old Warhammer manual and that MMO did apparently have a bestiary and lore book available in-game. Having stuff like that available to browse at our leisure would be pretty cool. Even having some lore tidbits as quest/storyline rewards and stuff you can find by exploring around the world would be neat.
