4.1 is out and....

damn you Yoshida for making the Ivalice scenes and Prima Vista more nostalgic with FFT music. *goes back to the Prima Vista to listen some more*

Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.
You start in Kugane where you meet a servant wokring for the Grand Imperial Plawright company who wants su to speak with someone she represents. This girl is named Alma bas Leventale, duaghter of a missing playwrigth who is an old friend of Cids. Cid briefly appear but is unable to assist due to the pending Omega Questline. So we are ther eot help find ehr father. Then we are introduced to the son of the playwright, Ramza bas Lexentale, who is the spitting image of our FFT protagonist, albeit this version is a bit of a dick being of Garlemald. Both he and Alma are Garleans. We are to aid them in finding their father and discovering the truth of the Zodiac brave story. Delita is only mentioned but there is talk of the unnamed hero (FFT Ramza) whose deeds not only allowed Deltia to ascend to the throne but also went largely without mention. We start in the Imperial prvince of Rabansatre, which in this world, is supposedly built above the ancient capital if Ivalice, Leslia.(also Rabanastre is int he midst of an uprising thanks to our victories in Doma and Ala Migo). Also one of the artifacts their father brougth back is a piece of Auracite. (Zodiac Stone and I am willing to bet it is Virgo)


Also ti does look like we will be traveling to Rabanastre possibly in 5.0 since a map did appear int he update with a '???'. It is situated on the Garlemald continent. Alphinaud mentions the province in uprising so our second trip in Orthard will undoubtedly have us crossing another sea to there with "Robin and Batgirl". 

Also for the upcomign Hildebrand series...

Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.
The return of "Greg" is nigh.

I've been putting off re-upping but I'm not gonna lie, this right here is really getting my attention.

I love when FFXIV isn't afraid to be really, really stupid.

4.2 Trailer is out. 



From the trialer here what we learn

Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.
The Garlean ambassador is supposedly Yotsuyu's dousche bag cousin that sold her off to prostitution. It seems the Emperor has taken a sudden interest in elimanating the Primals (though this effort is clearly being driven by Eldibius. it is possible this kid is the one being posessed by him.)

Looks like the Phantom Train is a dungeon/boss. In addiiton we will have Sigmascape fights against Chaddernook, the Guardian, which I would have thought would show up as a raid in Garlemald.


And the final boss of the Sigmascape because it needs Spoiler tags of it's own.

Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.
KEFKA!!!

Phantom Train and all the other FFVI stuff though (including
Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.
Kefka
are all part of the same thing - the next Omega raid (Sigmascape I believe it's called). But I don't care... that music, the Phantom Train's insane battle (ramming a flatbed wagon ahead of it which the player party is on to boot!) just is heaping on the emotion so heavily! That remix of Dancing Mad especially... :D Damnit Yoshi... you know me too well. ;)

As for Yotsuyu, it's clear she's heavily amnesiac which leads to interesting complications about how to handle her, and yeah, the Garlean Ambassador is her smug shithead of a cousin. I actually shouted to the screen "I'll tell you what you can do with your godsdamn alliance!" when he started spouting that drivel about Varis "wanting an alliance." He doesn't want an alliance, he just wants to keep "his friends close and his enemies closer" - he's one step away from wanting to capture the Warrior of Light so that his Hojo-copy can learn more about how the Echo protects from Primal tempering and make their artificial Echo more potent. So I sincerely hope Eorzea and the Othardians don't fall for this little charade. "Beware of Garleans bearing gifts" indeed...

And yeah, I agree that he is probably Elidibus's meatsuit: Elidibus was introduced from minute one wearing white robes and what colour is the outfit of this little shite? A white and red ensemble. It doesn't look half obvious. :p

I Am Pure Energy

I logged back in last night after over a year, in hopes of slowly getting through the Stormblood story. It looks like I have a little bit of catchup to do in the main scenario before I can jump into the expansion.

Knocking off the dust wasnâ??t that bad. I got through some dungeons and trials without any major issues.

5.0 Announced:

Shadowbringers

Now that light has prevailed, we must return things to balance. 



Blue Mage confirmed. Gunblade specialist hinted.



Viera hinted as new race via Yoshida's Bugs Bunny T-shirt

New Game+ so we can take our characters back through the earlier story and kick butt.

Solo only play permitted with NPC assistance from Scions or other allies encountered in the story.

From the trailer we see the banners of the EA are standing Garlemalds is send falling during the figth between WoL and "Zenos" so likely the seventh Calamity occurs in Garlemald, if it does. 

Given what happened at the end of 4.4 I think it wouldn't hurt to have Raubhan to lend us Lyse since Alphinaud is in Garlean Territory with a certain former Legatus, and the rest of the remaining scions are out for the moment. I actually would not be surrpised if Minfilia pops up given Elidibus indicated having an interest in her. if she were ot come back into the story.

Yeah it looks like we're getting FFXI's Trust NPC system - a very good thing (although I guess this means my 1.0 Path Companion is now gone forever :().

Also re: Minfilia - I'm theorizing that little girl in the robe that Thancred is shown protecting (in what looks like Amdapor Keep; which would be in keeping with the gremlin 'Bad Mouthing' Derplander and the Amdapori constructs shown), is actually a reincarnated Minfilia (it would certainly explain his protectiveness of his young charge in any event).

And yeah, gunblade class is strongly hinted (what with Thancred's very large example strapped to his back ;)).

And in regards to viera, it's ironic that everyone is saying "viera strongly hinted at!" when another Ivalice race has been confirmed as coming in SBS - the nu mou (as a beast tribe). But then SE are masters of trolling so yeah, this is right up their alley. ;)

Sorry for the double post but.. the info out of the Paris Fanfest is too good to pass up! :D

Gunblade class is officially confirmed (known as 'Gunbreaker') - I admit I don't care much for the name, but it does look good (weapon is obviously gunblades, but more like FFVIII's version rather than the Garlean 'gun with an extended bayonet' version, which fire magitek bullets to increase damage.). Yoshi also none-too-subtlely hinted at DNC with that silly gesture to a DDR mat. ;)

Also, viera are confirmed finally as a player race (although only females are shown - starting armour is literally Fran's outfit from FFXII).

New beast tribe race - the pixies from FFXI Wings of the Goddess, with Titania their Primal (which, FFXI fans might recognize was the pixies' queen in FFXI WotG) ;)

Level cap raised to 80 (but that is hardly surprising).

Story confirms the Eighth Calamity occurs (the Black Shroud at least is shown in flames). Also Urianger is now AST and Y'shtola is apparently posessed by Matoya (and is now BLM)! ;)

New crossover alliance raid with NieR (with the producer and writer from the game collaborating with the FFXIV team on it).

Oh, and I called it, that 'child of light' that Thancred is protecting in the trailer... is Minfilia. ;)

New extended teaser trailer here:



And new website with new art, renders and the Collector's Edition goodies (ooh, Derplander-as-DRK statue! Want! And FFVIII fans will want Squall's Revolver for Gunbreaker!).

Yeah. You did call it. I hope they stop making her dead weight. She's not even a fricken White Mage for cryin' out loud. 


I did have a feeling she would return to the story given Elidibus did mention during the 3.0 updates that he had an interest in her (implying she would be away but not gone from the story for good. Clearly she and pap were taken out for Stormblood so Alisae and Lyse could have some focus.

Urianger being an Astrologian was already confirmed back in 3.4.

Question is, how to we undo the Calamity. I want to say we're fnishing up Orthard to prevent the battle by aiding Dalmasca and keeping the Empire off balance. That way, the 4th Legion won't be freed up to attack Gyr Abania. We had the sneak peek we got during the Ivalice raid series but some people say we are going to the First. 

Also it should be noted that the new 8-main raid series is not finished, hence it's exclusion from the Keynotes.

New Details from the recent Keynotes:

The Hooded figure in the promo art is the vocie we've been hearing. We don't know what or who he is. 

The Crystal Tower will play a role in our Shard hopping it seems.

The split of the Shards, the Ascians, and Zodiark will all be delved into in 5.0

The First Region we'll be exploring on the First is called Norvrandt. it is the last region not consumed by the Light. We go to the First to help the WoDs restore night and weather to the First. 

Another revealed is Elumore. It is the counterpart to Limas Laminsa. This is where Thancred is fighting that beast to protect Minfillia. The poeple of that town have given up and want one las tparty before the end.

The previously seen Lakeland is adjacent to Norvrandt.Minfillia will be an Ally in the Trust system. So she's actually doing something folks!

Dancer officially confirmed: Ranged DPS class. Main arm is Throwing Weapons (Shurikens, Sais, Chakarams, etc). Will eb available for both Genders. Design department had some fun with male dancers. Some dances provide buffs for party members. Will be available at Limsa Lominsa.

Beastribes:Well... dwarves took a real twist.

New raid series called Eden. Artwork designed by Tetsuya Nomura.

Will feature a new character named Gaia. Wields a Hammer (Nomura did not realize there is no Hammer Wielder in FFXIV). Nomura is drawing up a boss to counter.

Viera are female only. 

And probably the biggest surprise of the Keynote Address...

New playable Male only race: Hrogthgar. (Beastmen)

I am getting the feeling there are more regions to show given We have Elumore, Lake Side on the First and Rak'tika Greatwood (not shown so it's likely not ready) on the Source. I see Dalmasca being the last area revealed in May. I doubt we're actually going into Rabanastre outside of a dungeon given it's state. But that could be how we encoutner Adramalk and Zalera.

Re the hooded figure with the crystallized hand: the rumour going around (and with very strong probability), is it's
Spoiler: Move your mouse over the container to reveal.
G'raha Tia, or rather a future version of him, given he was last seen at the end of the Crystal Tower raid being sucked into the World of Darkness. My understanding is the Crystal Tower in the First is actually the Source Hydaelyn's one that has somehow been pulled from the Source Hydaelyn's future and materliazing it in the First's present day in Lakeside, given it appears the Allagan Empire never existed in the First (and thus fitting in with the figure's speil about "unwriting history" to prevent the Eighth Calamity).

So it's likely that is how the portal between the Source and the First stablizes, allowing us to travel between the two at will, despite previously the information given that travel between a Shard and the Source was very much a one-way trip requiring the physical death of the traveller.


Either way we'll find out soon enough.

As shocking as Solus' revelaiton is, I'd rather learn it while I am playing through the MSQ. A poor deciison on their part revealing such a spoiler.

I'm not taking it at face value though as it's clearly just a deliberate ploy by SE to get the buzz going and players playing it. After all, remember they did the same trick already with SB's launch trailer revealing Y'shtola's 'fate' at the hands of Zenos and... well... apart from being put on a bus for most of the expansion she got better.

And besides, that spiel came from an Ascian, who have everything to gain from sowing lies and confusion - assuming Solus is blatantly lying through his lying Ascian teeth, the whole idea is so absurb with everything that has come before, it's either extremely poor and lazy writing on SE's part that retcons the entire game that came before... or yet another case of Ascians lie.

We'll find out in a few weeks one way or the other....
