Revelations from Gamescom 2019

[Rannie]

I'm confused as to why this would be the case? Can't people be around that were friends? If anything Hythlodaeus shows just how important Emet's people were to him, and not just a "CW show/incestuous" "everyone is related in this universe" kind of thing?

It's also a bit more poignant for us as well. That we get a glimpse of our past selves and those that meant something to us as well during that dialog. It felt like talking to a wise uncle/relative that was there probably times when we were down - even though we were considered one of the wise members 14th that we did have people around us that we probably confided in. The fact that Hythlodaeus knew about our personality and found what happened to us fitting.

Its not a matter of one being more poignant than the other it was just one of my theories being squashed. I never thought we would be a lover to Emet in any way.

In the whole the whole not being more poignant than the other that is false both can be as poignant as long as it is written to be so... (my whole crying post was written before I went to sleep).

I always knew that my theory was just what it was a theory and could be shown to be false. *shrugs* I even admitted as much before. In the end I still want to know who we were back in Amaurot and how we ended up being who we are now. And now I'll say this for a 3rd or 4th time... I hope we start to remember bits and pieces of our original life during the msq.

A post in General Discussion has a rough but complete transcript now.

Thanks! I threw a lot of questions at them, so it was good to see a few got though.

Aww when I say incestuous it wasn't meant that Emet and the WoL are lovers I meant that in a lot of TV show universes everyone is too closely related, and extras...are extremely rare. It was nice to have more worldbuilding than just our relation to Emet, and how significant without others being present.

That is true....

Though now the more I think about it though the last lines of Emet can now have a more deeper meaning than just the whole dont forget we existed... it can also have been a plea as well for the WoL to remember who he/she was... (ahh the speculations running rampant in my mind.)

Questions 2, 3, and 19 were mine. So happy right now. lol

The answer to question three went a direction I wasn't thinking (I meant, like as part of 5.0, was there something we generally hadn't noticed as players yet and did they want to hint at it), but now I'll certainly be going and checking Stormblood stuff again. But hey, he answered the Hythlodeus speculation in it, too, so that was cool.

EDIT: Oh, and credit where credit's due, I know I'm hardly the first to wonder if G'raha stopped physically aging. I was just the one who verbalized it in that particular thread.

[Rannie]

Hmmm I'm wondering though does he mean the quests that are part of the post stormblood story line or was he meaning the start of shb?

Btw thanks moose for this thread. Much appreciated.

I love how Yoshida was like, "Wow, these people are so well researched!" and it's just all you nerds at my favorite campfire.

Long live the lore forum.

Bozja Citadel was where the Garlean's first attempt to contact/use Dalamud, and it fired a beam that destroyed an entire city and killed Cid's father. Found this on a reddit post, but it's taken from EE1.

The more interesting part to me is that Bozja is located in Othard, and many people thought it was going to be related to Stormblood's story because of it. Some people were debating on if the Burn itself was actually the remains of Bozja where could be feasible but I think that's more of the focus on repeated primal summoning which is also what the dungeon briefing for 4.4 says as well.

Just need to clarify this a bit:

The Burn was not created by repeated primal summons. It was created when the Allagans used an aetheric siphon (known today as the House of the Crooked Coin on the Azim Steppe) to cut off the circulation of aether to the region, excavated the aether-starved land, and launched it into the sky; those bits of land are what we know as Azys Lla. The siphon was never turned off after the fall of Allag, creating what came to be known as the Burn. That it was the result of repeated primal summons is simply something Solus (a.k.a. Emet-Selch) lied to the Garleans about to excuse justify the "eternal conquest" mentality he imparted them with.

The rest is correct - Bozja Citadel was the testing site of the Lunar Transmitter, which destroyed the city and killed Midas nan Garlond. The GNB questline also reveals that it was a major Hrothgar city.
