Thank you for an MMO with deep lore

[Tsubarta]

Well, it's kinda generic in comparison to what was being woven in 1.0 with Tanaka. I really am not expecting anything too interesting, basic FF story about the ancient civilizations and the gods and how the earth-mother must be preserved etc. 1.0 was going to be interwoven with politics, shades of grey, and the world lore was looking to be much more personalized.

FFXI had a huge deal of mysterious lore, and left a lot of things to your imagination while supplying just enough to give you an idea of what you were a part of. I got that sentiment from so many of the abandoned spots in the 1.0 zones, the greatest tragedy of 1.0 is that none of it will ever bear fruit.

The one thing I am looking forward to, with this lore team in particular, is their communication with the fans directly and hopefully a mandate to explain the events unfolding in far more informative terms. It may not be as "mysterious" or "organic" lore, but it will be significantly more fleshed out.

I think of games like books & movies, if you read/watch enough words/pictures for awhile, in the end you feel like everything entwine. Things tend to getting used. People today find everything boring since any story could be based on something previously made. We are spoiled with great stories already told. This goes for content as well. Everything is a copy or resemblance to something else. I draw a tree, you draw a tree. They both look good, but they have the ability to give a different feeling when looking at it.

We have yet to see the mysterious world of Eorzea. A Realm Reborn is a game with blank pages right now. For me, this is a great opportunity to reset our minds. Forget about those other stories.

I've always loved the lore of the FF series. I've been playing Rift while XIV ironed out the kinks, and man that game is shallow... (although the xpac did give it a tad bit of depth). I'm sure XIV will be similar to XI, that game filled me with wonder, and most of that is the lore.

Still not sure what the deal is with Pso'Xja (its been so long, I had to google that spelling)

Yes, thank you for FF lore! FF always carries so much emotion within the story lines and with its characters. I will continue to support the devs as they delve into the making of ARR. The creators of the Final Fantasy franchise has always brought us phenomenal game content. Even though there have been major set backs with this game, I think it's time to show loyalty towards the previous games that we have loved and to have faith for what is to come!

i think your getting lore and story mixed up, i'm pretty sure this game is about as loreless as it gets. the story however was well played and very well strung together with the old dev story(at the sake of what little lore there was.)

for there crafty manipulation of story, i say bravo and good job SE.

I think, for what we had, it was filled with enough lore to wet the appetite. Most of my time was spent in the Black Shroud and I came to learn about certain areas and the lore of that region. Lore in my opinion came from the sidequests which enriches the world. For example, if you do the exploration quest, you find out that there was once a great city under the Black Shroud that was destroyed by Garlemald. The entrances to underground caverns are actually openings to the city. One of the interesting things is that if you travel down to the Tam-tam Deepcroft, on the lower levels you find undead warriors. Whether these two things are just coincidence or related, remains to be seen.

I agree that there could have been more lore added. Having a couple of quests tied to an area would definitely have helped build the lore of it. But taking everything into consideration I guess it was enough to wet the tongue.

Unfortunately I am not as knowledgeable lore-wise as I would like to be, but it is nice to play in a world with a deep and intricate background.

I have to disagree that it is loreless. The lore is just being made as we go along. The story us establishing lore as it goes and that is awesome. We grow in the game along with its lore.

The deep engaging story will aid in this games ability to carry on through the years and link together good story after good story. So just because the lore is being established as we go, it doesn't mean it's not there and that it isn't well do e

your making it up because it does not exist, your trying to use the story to make pieces of lore that fit where they belong. its called fan fiction, many manga and anime series that were discontinued or concluded have fans dedicated to picking the story apart for understanding so they can continue the story.

a world with alot of lore is far more interesting than any without, look at the Elder scrolls that game is lore central.

While i think Elderscrolls actually have great lore, it is somewhat taken from other media like any other story today. FF has great lore taken from Norse mythology, Japanese mythology and so on. It has a tradition. For an example, we all know that when picking up a new FF game from the store we will see chocobos, moogles, cactuars, Ifrit, Shiva and so on.
