MSQ Speculation

[Atelier-Bagur]

Wouldnt it be stupid if the the image theyre hiding is just the Eliminator in the background?

Basically it being a Vegnagun that threatens all life or something. I really hope not because that wouldnt be much of a surprise at all.

Wouldn't surprise me - Endsinger was basically just a female Necron (from FFIX) so there is unfortunate precedent there....

I don't think they can go back to the Allagans again, it'll literally start becoming a meme at some point.

As long as the main story doesn't revolve around them it's fine. It's pretty hard to avoid mentions of them though and it would annoy me slightly if something came up that involved them and it gets brushed off because people don't want to deal with it.

To my knowledge there is no mention at all of the Allag "taking the Empire to the stars" or anything

The description for the Hyperstellar Downconverter in Azys Lla suggests otherwise. From page 166 of EE1 (but I think also in the sightseeing log in-game):

Engineers surmise that the Hyperstellar Downconverter was developed to communicate with Dalamud, the false moon containing Bahamut which had been propelled into the heavens. It was later repurposed and improved upon to facilitate communication over the massive distances between stars.

So... space colony? Unmanned probes? Omega trying to phone home?

In any case, I think the main meat of the MSQ will be Tradition vs Technology, with one faction favors using ceruleum to bring Tural to the industrial age while the other prefers to keep ceruleum technology out of it. Similar to Al Bhed vs Yevonites in FFX.

Nice catch! I admit I didn't notice that one, so thanks for pointing that out!

Of course it doesn't prove there is a lost Battlestar Galactica-style Allagan colony out there somewhere, but... yeah... I do concede the very remote possibility now at least.

It’ll be about Tataru.

We will discover certain secret empire that Tataru had been amassing over the years as a way for her path to world domination..!!!

honestly it feels like a rip off FFXI's Hidden Treasures of Aht Urghan. THat was the vibe I got from the teaser trailer in Las Vegas. you boated of to the unexplored lands and went from there.

That's a pretty broad concept to have to avoid if doing it is enough to get accused of ripping of another plot.

the whole setting they put out during the recent fanfest and the lost city of gold. it just reminds of me of the story for that expansion from ffxi XD
