Was this ever explained?

[Lady]

Just a few questions from 1.0 that I never found the answers to:

1) What was the voice we heard in the begining cutscene: Hear... Feel... Think...

2) In the Limsa Lominsa story, there was a big freak out in a cutscene because you held your gun all gangsta style... what was that about?

3) What happened to my companion? Any word about getting our companions back in ARR? Or do we assume they died at the end .... ;_;

Questions 1 and 2 can be answered by reading the CG Midlander thread. It's quite extensive to explain along with the background events leading up to it, but perhaps Moosy or Catapult can give a condensed answer.

Question 3: I do believe Yoshi-P stated that the companion idea would be "taking a break", but that they may be introduced again at a later time.

Judging from the last main scenario cutscene though, it looks as if after the battle with Gaius, your Path companion departs in his own search for "the power" your circle member mentions.

Too much conjecture in that thread... Was hoping for in game answers that I actually missed.

In-game it was never really explained..thus the need for the CG Midlander thread in the first place. After Yoshi took over, the Echo-based stories kinda got put on hold..and we'll probably see some kind of conclusion or explanation about them in ARR, but as far as 1.0, a lot of what we have managed to establish was dissected, then confirmed by Ferne in the CG Midlander thread, not ingame ; ;.

I'll try to find Ferne's post in that thread to see if it'll make some sense to you.

1) I thought it was something to do with our ability to see things, which some speculated was given by a primal (I think because Ifrit said we were touched already). Though I want to think it had something to do with the lodestone.

2) I dont speak Iermapeerate Limsanese

3) They are gone for the time being but Yoshida said they may add them back later, so for now just think of them on a long vacation


Edit: Screw you Vil... <3 lol

I can answer #2 for you: You were holding your gun like a 'pirate' does, the Barracudas are trying to keep 'pirates' out of their ranks.

Actually no, the pirates don't use guns.

the whole jelly fish scene was an echo, actually Stahlman only shows up during the echo the entire limsa storyline the commodore and the man you see swatting the jelly fish are one in the same. during the barracuda CS you aim your firearm the same way Stahlman did during the jelly fish scene. if you follow the story all the way through Commodore Stahlman betrayed limsa to the sahagin to get the horn and he's supposedly dead or in exile.

so in simple terms you used the gun form of a man thought to be dead, that betrayed all of limsa, to get his hands on a powerful horn artifact. anyway the horn artifact in the present time had made its way to uldah, how the shadowless elven sahagin servant managed to lose it is never explained.

#2 I have no idea, as I never did the LL storyline, but #1, isn't it obvious? It's Susan Calloway giving the player the Echo.

Seriously though, I assumed it was supposed to be whatever member of the Twelve granted the Echo to the player - an interesting retcon to this was those few lines of Answers were similar to the 'Dalamud Answers' version that much later replaced all BGM in the lead up to the game's original shutdown (maybe that singing was that deity singing through the Echo?). Or maybe I'm just reading to much into it.

#3: well, the last you hear about them is that they retired to the Alchemist's Guild to heal their wounds after their run in with Gaius during Future's Perfect, so anything could have happened to them really. In any event, I really hope Yoshi-P brings them back in ARR, as I really liked the idea of having an NPC along for the ride in those quests.

It actually wasn't Susan Calloway's voice in those spoken parts >.> Not that I've obsessed over her awesome voice or anything like that...nope, not me. <_<
