Maybe quests will be added relating to the Storm Over Gridania, and we'll need these crystals to progress. Or maybe as some have wondered, they'd be related to the materia system.
I'm collecting as many of them as I can get a hold of. Which is sadly only 6 so far. lol.. I'll keep working on it. Even if they have no significant use after all, I'll keep some for the memories.

I agree. I really really love the way that SE just slipped this event in without explaining anything. Just a touch of lore, some random odd events, and let everyone wonder what the heck is going on. It's brilliant. A great way to keep people thinking, wondering, and interested in the game. I really hope they do more of this in the future when we're unsuspecting.
Alot of People think it could be the "Beastman Seals" of FFXIV. But as one mentioned on the forums, the Arcanist could be using the Elemental Crystals as a form of Energy Supply that makes them use the abilities they use. Im leaning towards that because of the fact that "Deaspected Crystals are empty. and wait.. theres also Something else thats linked with these Deaspected Crystals, Remember the R34 Mission where You had to Take Crystals and turn them into "Deaspected Crystals... hmmm.. But what could they be used for if they were used in Mission R34... now theres something.. *ponders*

I dont think they be throwing Deaspected crystals without tell us what they are used for if it were for an "actual event" that last so long.. but they are continuing to drop at a very low rate and still getting them
after the Hatching tide event" now that event is over to a degree ( because people are still speculating a Continuation of the event because the lore was left abandon *at least for now anyhow*) I currently hold 6 so you 2 more ahead of me there buddy =).

Unexpected things can lead to wonderful things and bring alot of life into this community, especially now everyone seems to be more active ( even if they are still negative) in there own way they want this game to succeed just have a very bad way of showing it.. but I know they care
