Thanks OP for starting the Thread.
- "Mind is Blown" - Loving this Lore!!!

I can't say I paid much attention to that then, but this was probably in the game before the whole Dalamud idea came to be, so I highly doubt it initially represented the sealing ritual.

What if Dalamud was always meant to be? Depending on how they are interpreted, there seems to be sublte hints all over that indicate, all that has come to pass was already written.

What if the "Past" was meant to fail? So a shining new future could reign under the watch of a powerful ruler. In a world that was recreated by the people, for the people.

@Fernehalwes: Thanks for posting that, good read. Too bad you can't tell us more (yet)

Which quest is that from? I don't remember anything like this (Gridanian here)

Travanchet was from the Limsa Lominsan storyline, and that image was taken from the quest "Never Shall the Twain Meet", which was the last quest in the series before being scooted off to Ul'Dah to start the Path of the Twelve quests.

After analyzing the progression of quests in the original storyline, I wonder if their original vision was to layout the quests in the manner that FFXI did. By that I mean, you do about three ranks worth of missions for your home city, learn about the greater threat which is the Shadow Lord, then once he's defeated, go back to helping out your home city.

The feeling of incompleteness of your main city's storyline reflects this I think. The formula it followed was:

Do stuff pertaining to your home city
Learn about the Garlean threat, which was really never concluded since Gaius whooped some ass (Path of the Twelve)
(Incomplete step) Go back and deal with whatever was going on in home city. In the case of Limsa Lominsa, learn more about the Ascians and the Sahagin.

At least that's the way I felt it was going to play out.
