The Long-Awaited Library

[Anonymoose]

The Shadowbringers media tour embargo drops this morning, and included is this unexpected little treat: we're actually getting an accessible, open-world public library.

I know a lot of us have requested something like this at some point, if for no other reason than to have a thematic place to AFK. I know that made it disappointing when it turned out Gubal would only ever be a dungeon. But here we are! Will we actually be able to read any books there? Will there be any quests related to it? Will it enhance the lore in any way? Big shrug. But it's aesthetically pleasing, and that's a great start. (Maybe we'll get some furnishings out of it.)

The fact that it's in the Rapture zone combines two of my longest-running unfulfilled wishes into something I'm pretty excited about, to be honest. Unless an open-world purple Promyvion shows up, I hereby declare Crystarium the best zone in the game, I'd like to thank all the areas who lost.

See you at the library, nerds.
