Lightning FATE Trailer, What Do You Think?

[Zantetsuken]

hey if a dude wants to wear silk baby dolls thats his problem, the clothes you wear does not define your gender.

if you dont belive me well ask davie bowie, eddie izzard or denis rodman.

lol

They might not define your gender, but fringe clothing styles and radical alterations to appearance can be indicative of mental or emotional issues.

Your examples are case-in-point.

Overall, any clothing that is fringe-level will polarize peoples' opinions of you (mostly negative). And the converse is true as well - better dressed people are viewed more favorably. This is because a vast majority of humanity falls into personality types that value peace, harmony, structure, and social normalcy ( ISFJ, ESFJ, ISTJ, ISFJ using MBTI terms) as such, they tend to eschew strong deviations from the normal.

It's just the way things are. And those who campaign for an 'acceptance' of fringe culture are ultimately self-defeating. If any particular element of fringe culture becomes normal/commonplace, then those fringe-seeking types will be looking for something else to satisfy their eccentric urges, and the whole cycle reboots.

i'd like it a lot more if the reward for males did not look like a Scottish hobo

You have to remember since Dalmund hit the eorzea, our world has been open to the Void, which allows things from other final fantasy games to seep in.
So far it has only been enemies but if you have followed dissida at all it is not hard for actual people to get pulled through the void. And because of the void we will
also see enemies like Cloud of Darkness rearing her head in the future too.

It all happened during the end of 1.0 when Atmos appeared... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkbYeaUqcr4

On Patch 1.23a, Atomos, depicted as a Cavernous Maw of the exact same design as in Final Fantasy XI, appeared in the sky at certain locations in Mor Dhona, Coerthas and Thanalan, and occasionally spawns powerful monsters (approximately level 60 or higher, judging by their strength). This seemingly randomized event will make players think twice about idling in the middle of camp. A player will only need to defeat one monster for the quest "Monster of Maw Most Massive".

After the Final Save maintenance (no further progress saved for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn) on October 31st, 2012, a number of changes occurred. Atomos finished siphoning more Aetheryte crystals, and those he used to appear at have permanent Deepvoid monsters, including a variant of Batraal.

I'm excited about the Music from Lightning Fates. Anyone know if the Actual Fates music we going to get or is this just a background music they add in for the Trailer?

[Welsper59]

So, wait, just from a lore stand point, how are they going to explain the fact that there are two Odins in the game?

There's always the different universes aspect. Ignoring the mash ups like Dissidia, it's been done before in the FF/SE universe (e.g. Cloud in FFT and, to an extent, Culex in SMRPG). This is a fantasy game afterall.

As someone pointed out, it'll be quite a... lag fest of players when this comes out. Sort of wish it wasn't a FATE thing as a result, but I guess I could always turn off special effects of others (doesn't affect NPCs right?). Wait... is that option even in FFXIV?

[TaranTatsuuchi]

Yup I agree with this. I hope they release this the same time as vanity slots!

Vanity slots can't come soon enough.

[MysteriousRonin]

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

[Steeled]

Is it bad that the first thing that I notice was that a wild red conal appeared and all the characters didn't budge an inch?

[Avynia]

I'd rather have sasook or nardo as an event.

I feel like this would have been better as a solo or group instanced quest chain. The fates are gonna be so zerged with players that it's gonna kill a lot of the magic.
