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.
