Latest FFXIV plot analysis

[Rydin]

Thanks for this, I find the whole storyline to be very wordy, full of poems and quite hard to follow.

Sort of reminds me of Tavnazia.

Thank you for posting this, Rydin. The world/lore/plot is the most important part of my gaming experience, so <3 this thread.

You guys are welcome.... thank you for appreciating it....

If you weighed a couple hundred tons I would like to see how fast you moved ...

Hahaha... like the wind.... lol

Side Topic 1: The Wandering Minstrel's (that is,YoshiP's) cryptic hint: "Yester with thine eyes, morrow by thine hands" has me wondering if he is referring to the loss of the echo post-2.0 or perhaps that the entire 7th Umbral is being experienced via the Echo -a dream within a dream.

Echo-ception!!!!

Side Topic 2: The references of Dalmud's swelling from 10 years ago in the Dalamud Nigh article seemed to indicate nothing happened:


But perhaps that was just from the perspective of the Eorzeans. Apparently it was the catastrophic misfire of Meteor that hit the Bozja Citadel instead of Eorzea/Mor Dhona. Were those falling lights in the sky our echo-experience of the first Meteor attempt?

This thought actually crossed my mind... Dalamud hasn't gone anywhere...
But somehow they learned they couldn't control where it landed... and Bozja Citadel suffered as a result...
I'm thinking it was a smaller scale test... Dalamud could destroy Eorzea...
The test could have been with some smaller heavenly body, which is why it only took out the citadel
So they though "WOW... if we can't control this little thing... we definitely wont be able to control Dalamud"

This is a great thread though. One of the forum's best.

Thanks Z
