Thread: The Mark of 1.0 [DEV Question]

So far as I know he had eluded to the story of the crystals connection to the primals and the twelve, as well as the Garlean forces. He will be having some recent history tidbits for us 1.0 survivors to go "Hey! I was there!" but he will be going with a slightly revised version of the original story that was intended for the game. With a bit of his own twist and flare for good measure.

Dalamud wasn't red until patch 1.19, which was released on September 29, 2011. Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) made his first Letter From the Producer on January 21, 2011.

Unless this was a plot device the team already planned on using later in the games life, it was pretty improvised. The moon turned red roughly 8 months after Yoshi-P took charge.

That sounds more accurate. I knew I read somewhere that it was Yoshi-P's evil plot to destroy the copy pasta terrain!

I was thinking something along those lines. Most likely on the face or neck, it seems body tattoos are useless unless you wear subligar of course! They are going to have the option to hide the helmets right?

FFXIV caught a lot of s**t for copy paste terrain because it didn't even try to hide it. It was so out in the open and such an eyesore, that you couldn't not have deja'vu every 12.5 seconds.

How 'bout a tramp stamp?

A Dalamud poop stuck.

/thread's done, I win. Now go away.

Personally, I want it to be a Dalmund horn codpiece that summons a giant red disco ball in the sky above me and forces all non-legacy players to stop what they're doing and moonwalk towards me.

But it will probably just be a tattoo or some shiny little accessory.
