I had no idea there were this many of you following the lore discussions! Welcome to our underground lair, muahahah. I wonder how hard it's going to be to keep clean in here given that a lot of our issues start as singular questions... Maybe I can just cram my current debacle into a big "1.X Lominsan Story Arc" thread... ><

That said, maybe we'll slowly start dragging some of the other lore-loving devs out, too. The Developer Blog in particular has drawn out the hysterical sides of a few team members as of late.

SOKEN cracks me up every time I see him - did you guys see the LIVE video where he came on-screen before the show started in torn up clothes and bloody battle gear saying that he tried to stop Dalamud for everyone but it was a lot bigger than he anticipated? LOL.

"I really tried... but, I couldn’t. It was... very big. I was thinking it was smaller, like a plum."

I haven't been able to keep up with a lot of them since they tend to get overwhelmed by all of the garbage that makes it into the Hot Topics list. (Excluding Niqote's thread, of course :3)

To be honest I find it distressing how few of my friends actually care about in-game lore. For a story-driven MMO, this game has a fairly apathetic community. Maybe I can find new friends with this forum!

Thank you Ferne! So much work put into just the naming conventions, you've managed to make my admiration skills for your work go up 50 points and it caps at 55!

Finally a lore forum! <3

Now can we make Ferne get dev-tracked? I miss so many of his posts and they're always so fun! >.<

I like to imagine that Ferne gets a schadenfreude satisfaction out of being able to yell across the office, "HEY. HEY. YOU. WITH THE MARBOL AVATAR. BAY? BAAAAAY. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

"WHAT!"

"Come tag this post about the socio-political status quo of the third great hyuran migration and its effects on the Elezen power structure!"

If only I could like this post more than once.

Yeah I've been lurking it regularly but don't often post. Usually because you guys end up going waaay deeper than my mind can think about without going asplodey. That and with pretty much everything in "CG Midlander" it's hard to sort and find the particular topic I want to know about, especially when 80% of the thread is no longer about the Derplander... hopefully now that we have our Lore forums it can all be sorted out much more nicely into individual threads!

As much as I am a lurker, I do care though, with my intense interest of the Eorzean language. I also loved the history lessons from Professor Erik and the Miner's Guild quests. I sometimes wonder how many people actually got the "Times New Sil'dihn" joke in one of my font release threads >.> (and who here is pumped to explore the Sil'dih excavation site shown in the recent trailers?????)
