Ala Mhigo Reconstruction

[Iscah]

I fear the Black Rose might have something to do with it..

I expect so as well. Almost certainly someone somewhere is going to get attacked after all this setup information about it, and Ala Mhigo seems a likely target.

Maybe it’s just as well we haven’t been let in yet. You know they’d kill off whoever we’d just gotten attached to—

Oh no. Raubahn is there now. My favourite GC leader person.

Please don’t let them do that. ;__;

I fear for that too..but I really hope that nothing like this happens. Because again it would be Ala Mhigo that gets hit the most while Doma can just rebuilt in relative peace. Maybe we have an attack but the WoL can at least stop the most of it? Maybe even just have a part of the city collaps and thus we get our reconstruction of that? Heck we could just have helped rebuilding the saltery instead of having this be something like Mor Dhona that happens on their own.

In the end any attack on the city will make peace with Garlemald even harder to achieve.

May i be honest? as nice it is in doma, as much as i want it for ishgard... id rather burn ala mhigo myself... i kinda hate em, cant help xD

There's been some small rebuilding in Ala Mhigo at the Saltery, but it's just quests having us drop by once in a while, we have no real part in it. It's more like the changes in Idyllshire as patches progressed.

I'd care more if the majority of Ala Mhigan NPCs weren't jerks. Aside from Raubahn, Arenvald, the Mandervilles, and sometimes Lyse, they can all go play in the sand.

Possible 4.4 spoilers:

The end of the 4.4 MSQ did show Alphy and Shadowhunter discovering that someone is using Black Rose, which I definitely think could be used against Ala Mhigo as what could be the first large-scale test of its effects. That said, it's possible that Alphinaud could somehow get word of plans to use it in Ala Mhigo, find a way to relay a warning to the Alliance, and prevent it from causing too many casualties. Even so, I would expect that once Black Rose has done its work and cleared up, the Garleans would probably follow up with a direct assault to raze the city and finish things off with the least amount of resistance. It would be a huge loss to the Alliance after all the efforts to liberate Ala Mhigo, and could show exactly what we'll be facing going into the next expansion. Of course, I expect there's every possibility things could end up happening way differently, but it is a scenario I can see happening in any case.

I would have LOVED to have the rat race get more prominence this time around --likely because I'm biased towards those sly Namazu, but more likely because I found the rat race thoroughly hillarious in FFXI. An example is Kakkaroon-- located in the ToAU area-- him and quite a few others made me laugh on several occasions.

And that their dialogue when it came to gil... "clinkity clink" and so on... priceless.

Maybe if all the best tribes are exterminated in Garlemald, they’ll let us have one in Eorzea.

If the next expansion is going to take us into Ilsabard, then I think Ala Mhigo will be the main hub city for 5.x.

I hope not.

I'm rather weary of the 'desert' aesthetic at this point...and it'd be a lot more interesting for the main city in 5.0 to be something completely different that we haven't seen before.

But it's not desert, it's salt lake.
