MSQ Speculation

[Atelier-Bagur]

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.

Thats...not really much of a rip off.

More so a common trope. Besides the use of Gulool Ja Ja

Might be a good time to become a story skipper if they're going to over use the scions for another expansion.
I don't really care what they do at this point I just want something more fresh then what we've been getting as of late.

Common trope thats the phrase , thanks XD

It was a fun expansion back then except the boat ride it felt like a 45 minute boat ride.

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.

That's how I feel too. I'm tired of everything being traced back to them, but I also think it's equally as lazy writing to assume their presence is completely removed from existence henceforth for the sake of a new journey. Not saying they need to be here to stay, but I don't see true harm in small connections.

There is no indication the Allag ever actually used their spacecraft for anything other than maintaining Dalamud in orbit (the Ragnarok-class ships were more properly 'internment hulks', basically flying transport and containment facilities for moving the dragons imprisoned within Dalamud to sustain Bahamut as part of the sun/Dalamud/Crystal Tower power system; and the Heimdall class (such as the one that ended up crashing on the moon) were basically just for monitoring Dalamud and ensuring Bahamut didn't break free.

To my knowledge there is no mention at all of the Allag "taking the Empire to the stars" or anything, their spacecraft were essentially just glorified airships (and even seemed to be used as such - it's what Helix's rotating dock in Azys Lla is for specifically - a dock for Ragnarok class vessels.).

So based on that alone I doubt there is some 'long lost colony world' of the Allag out there in the Sea of Stars... but, who knows.

I never said that there WAS a long lost colony world, just that the possibility is there. With how up in the air the question of how far Allag's Starships could reach, they COULD, very big emphasis on could here. Pull that kind of narrative thread. But...like I said, the idea is ridiculously silly.

I don't want Allag to return as a MSQ narrative thread, but maybe sidequest stuff. Same with Ascians, Ancients, and Garlemald. (Which I think the latest MSQ was to effectively shutdown some fan ideas for stuff to do with Garlemald.) and just focus on...new stuff.

But all I was saying is just...the idea is possible, but highly unlikely.

Copying this post i made in another thread since it fits.

"Just a theory but im wondering if this expansion going to have a heavy ff5 theme, my reasons so far

1. Alot mention of krile and galuf.
2. Alot of underground ruins
3. Alot of serpent themes with local culture
4. An secret object above an desert( maybe the flying city of ronka since that was bury under a desert in ff5)
5. The viper Wol in trailer has moment where he connects the blades together with an ark of electricity which make feel like the weapons could be some type of technology. Maybe an tradition ronka fighting style?
6. Oracle was an earth crystal job(if i remember right) which was base in ff5 ronka.
7. The eliminator and the one fanfest map look very high tech which in ff5 ronka tech was very advanced.
8.ff5 features alot of cross dimensional travel, so i wonder if that would play a part?

Edit: i also forgot that in ff5 the flying city is powered similar to airships which in ff14 is Ceruleum."

we still dont know what will be our 2nd hub for raids and what not. I wonder if its the city of gold

[Kranel_San]

The "city of gold" was Godbert Manderville's failed attempt to build a Gold Saucer franchise in Tural. It's long been abandoned, and is overrun with murderous Senor Sabotender mammets.

I don't think the Gold Saucer sabotenders are mammets...

[Valknut]

I hope my ESC key isn't the strongest supporting characters this Expansion.

[FatalFatalis]

So now that we've seen the Eliminator and Cerulian mining and we know about the city of gold is there any thoughts as to what everything could be about.

I'm still thinking that part of this is a thread that picks up on what "Amon" was doing before he decided to help out Zenos.

I would guess that we find Allagan royalty or the like that are now awake and rebuilding the Empire to it's former glory. They would have been stuck in stasis inside the golden city or somewhere nearby. The eliminator may be something similar to the Diabolos machine found under Bozja. They perhaps adapted it to run on cerulium at this point since accessing voidsent is a bit of an issue.

It's not another 10 year story, but a fight against the reborn empire with an empress or the like in charge could definitely span multiple expansions and multiple continents. I still think it will be only a few pure Allagans that rely on cloning tech or powerful mammets to build an army and they will eventually try to find a way to tap the atherial sea for soul batteries.

They are the Ronkan Empire that somehow managed to travel to the source, to Tural, and thrived there with the Ceruleum they found.
It was revealed to me in a dream.
