    EDIT: Hold up. So you're saying every time there's that little "pulse" during a cutscene, it's essentially jump in the Echo?

    If that's true (can Ferne please confirm that since 1.0's old storyline is getting changed anyway), I KNEW there was something up with that way back when. When i asked about it with friends, they had no idea what I was talking about.

    Actually, in Lisma, you do echo jump. Or Y'shtola does... One of you jumps into the other. Not sure, really, but I assume that you're the one doing all the jumping (no idea!). Guy tells you no one will come to his place if they hear there's a balloonfish in the larder and then WHOOSH, Y'shtola's standing next to you giving him the third degree.

    There's an echo jump every time you hear the whoosh-whoosh in cutscenes. If you watch them over again looking for them, it'll be super clear when they start and finish (aside from the first one with the starshower). Even the NPC reactions will be much more obvious.

    Almost the entire thing takes place in echoes. If you take out the time-travel, all you do is show up on a boat, get a room at The Mizzenmast, get rejected by the military, and go to work at Fisherman's Bottom as a teenager's escort.

    Oh, I edited my post while you were typing.

    I was kinda under the impression most of the time that it was basically your Echo pulsing to break free.

    Interesting.

    EDIT: Heh, I missed out on playing Gridania and Ul'dah's questlines. Oh well. :P

    True, but the goods appear to change hands prior to echo-mania, which I was trying to get at. It is only at the goldsmith's guild where it explicitly happens inside an echo.

    I got your back on this, working on a really big post.

    I have a question. When Gaius van Baelsar shoots up giving a sign for a ship to blow up the place in "Futures Perfect"
    Is it a new Agria type of ship? or it came from the ship Midgarsormr downed? and why later on you don't see that ship anymore around the lake?

    The view of the ship we get is limited, but it has the same spaghetti strainer bottom dome and old school propellers as the standard Garlean airships. From what I can tell, that's the only thing Gaius ever uses. I'm 90% sure that his legion stays in Ala Mhigo and his involvement in the western campaign was limited to riding around on his ship and poking his nose into Nael's business.

    We see this ship when he visits us in Living on a Prayer as well as the End of an Era.

    Just popping in to cover three issues:

    1. End of and Era trailer & the Luminous Engine

    What you see in the trailer is pre-rendered CG created by our ridiculously talented Visual Works studio (who handle most of the pre-rendered goodness you see in all Square Enix games). The Luminous Engine, on the other hand, is a medium that will generate pre-rendered quality graphics, but in real time. So, instead of just watching Agni climb on the back of an elder dragon and fly over an endless shanty town, you can control Agni yourself and crash her into a bridge...that will explode into a bajillion pieces without any slowdown, while maintaining the realism we've come to expect from exploding shanty town bridges.

    As Yoshida-san has said in the past, the Luminous Engine is geared towards high-end machines, and offline campaigns, which is why it isn't suited for an MMO. And that is why we had our dev team build a new engine that would be a better fit with ARR.

    2. Echo wooshing (or is that 'whooshing'?)

    Anonymoose has explained it as well as anyone could have. Thanks!

    3. Who is the mysterious primal that scared the Garleans away?

    It pains me to say, I'm not allowed to speak on this issue. That twinge you feel in your elbow? That's not Bursitis. That's my pain traveling across the aether and directly into your joints.

    What I can say, is that there is an answer, it's been planned since the beginning, and it will make sense...well, as much sense as Square Enix stories usually make.

    (And we're not just stalling, trying to buy time to think up something cool...honest!)

    Heeeeee, Fernehalwes for the win. <3 Thanks for #3 there, I am wriggling in anticipation and feel like my faith in you guys and your tendencies to let us discover god-shaped holes in the story has been vindicated.

    (Ten thousand post-redenomination gil says it's Odin just like the last time there was a mysterious god-shaped hole in the story of an FF MMO!)

    Thanks a lot for the reply <3 My bad i didn't mean it exactly to be Luminous Engine ...i meant the modified form of it for FFXIV it doesn't have an official name, does it? anyways .. Now we gonna have to speculate about the mysterious Primal!
