The Volcano.

[Aravou]

With all the predictions of darkness, smoke, and fire looming on the horizon; most people have directed there attention toward The Black Shroud and its seemingly eminent doom. It's logical.

However, some of the key-words these predictions of "disaster" use seem so familiar. As we look out over the vast space of La Noscea, there has always been something ominous on the horizon: the Volcano.

So, examining the text and hints and developers comments, do you think some, all, or part of this coming 7th Umbral Era could in fact be the eruption of the La Noscea Volcano? I know I'm unsure.

But, I'll keep looking to that distant peak... for any signs of smoke.

That could very well be, but I can only see one problem with that.. Limsa is No where near Gridania... or is it.. I cant tell its way off in the distance to make that assumption.

However, I do agree that a possibly, but why would the Dev post it as " Storm over Gridania" if that was the case?

I don't think it's limited to Gridania, just that letter is focused on Gridania and The Black Shroud. We have the lot's of rain in all zones and NPC's popping up and casting things in Ul'dah and such, that leads me to believe that it could encompass everything.

If Mount O'Ghomoro errupted, then we would never get to see Kobolds again, considering that they live under the volcano.

Won't somebody please think of the Kobolds!

It would be cool if we had a Mary Shelly type deal, world covered in darkness due to ash from eruption.

Nah, it's not leviathan. It's the fashion police. They saw you guys all wearing your egg caps and blotted out the sky so they didn't have to look at you no more.

When I was doing my botany leve the other day that is badly placed in the field of Kobolds I was thinking how cool it would be for the volcano to erupt and flow down that valley area towards the Kobolds. You don't have to eliminate Kobolds from the game, they can run to safety near Bald Knoll or whatever. But I'd love to see cool stuff like that happen in the game.

The volcano probably wouldn't threaten Limsa itself, it's so far away. An ash weather effect would work well however.
