Dalamud in 1.22b

[Fingerbox]

I'm fairly new to this game and I"m just now seeing my first round of updates.
Do they usually make changes to Dalamud in the "a / b" updates or only when the number changes?

[Mushy]

I cant remember exactly, but I think only main updates

if there are additional quests that mention it perhaps they will but a/b dont usually add major quests. and dalamud from 1.21 to 1.22 was a huge leap. if they kept up at this rate it would hit months before 2.0 came out

[Impulse]

They made a slight adjustment in the "a" patch for 1.21, so I'd think it's completely possible.

as close as it is now the earth would already be feeling the gravitational effects, BUT ITS JUST A GAME i remind myself

But its not a planet or a moon but a giant mechanism created by the Allagan Empire long ago.

Doesn't mean it can't have its own gravitational pull.

I though it was a moon

everything has gravity even you, the bigger the stronger the pull - so it being giant is precisely why it would have an effect

"Dalamud is one of the two moons orbiting Hydaelyn"

" citizens of Eorzea can already notice it becoming larger by the day. This change is said to be affecting sea currents, crops, and even the behaviour of monsters and their size."

and theres that...

now the effect this will cause can only be truly determined by knowing the size of hydaelyn. but that is all besides the point. it will hit hydaelyn(we suspect) since the launch was botched. they thought and thought METEOR! someone shouted. and a new moon was programmed in

It's going to crash into the planet and crystal war is going to happen and planet will now be called Vana'diel

Just a small correction, I believe its the larger the mass the greater the gravity (not being big.... a Baseball should have more gravity than a balloon). Black Holes are another good example.

Its entirely possible the Dalamud, though very large, actually has a very small mass and thus would not greatly affect the surface of Eorzea by just getting close though people are guessing that it attracts aether which could also change the land.

In 1.22 Garuda cutscene, when she is defeated her collective Aether remains seem to get drained into Dalamud

And since its also a Fantasy game, real physics don't always have to apply.
