Patch 1.23b - Sep 12th

Dalamud's falling has nothing to do with the people, it's the primals that Darnus wants to get rid of...

I think. That dude is loco. I don't understand nothin' of what he be talkin'.

The world changes sort of began w/ the Twelve symbols popping up around Eorzea.

Not good enough. F minus minus.

i don't think having stones shining is the landscapes change that he meant .

Kefka thought that life was meaningless so it has to be destroyed .

That's pretty lazy if that's all it ends up being.

I'm sure they'll do something with this patch.

I think giant airships, meteor showers, dalamud getting huge count as drastic changes too

Yeeeesssss....

Hopefully also, the changes in the game world.

I wonder if this patch is going to introduce changes to the landscape that was mentioned in the PDFs. This was supposed to happen sometime before 2.0 but nothing has really happened yet.

Yes yes yes! This is what we were told in the 2.0 PDFs released back in October of 2011, almost one year ago:

One day, a massive geological anomaly suddenly appears from deep within the ground.

Current players will have the opportunity to unlock the mysteries surrounding this strange, new landmark in the coming months.

"Current players" should mean those of us playing version 1.xx. I have to be honest: I expected to see this "massive geological anomaly" well before now. I'm hoping that it finally appears in 1.23c tomorrow. At the same time, however, they haven't made any really huge changes to the geography of Eorzea itself in this version. They've added some man-made structures such as Castrum Novum, but they haven't changed the land itself much. It seems a little unrealistic to expect to see the geological anomaly, given that it looks to be humongous.

Still, I'm hoping for it!

I hope something really cool comes out of this.
