Scribe said: I know a little about the world before the beta launched. Is 2.0 a part of the story i.e. WoW's cataclysm that just changes the entire UI and gameplay? Or are they pretending XIV didn't happen at all and creating an entire new game? What is staying what is changing? How will this be explained in the game's story? Or will it?
Lexx said: I read that there's a storyline reason for the changes. The game's antagonists pull the moon out of orbit, and it rains destruction across the game's landscape. Your character, and others, are sent into the future as a means of escape.
Enkidoh said: Also it should go without saying that SE chickened out and simply reused a number of character models from FFXI in XIV (ala, gobbues, goblins, qiqirn etc), but that's not the first time they've done that (FFXII reused FFXI's mandragora models after all), presumedly to cut down on development times and costs. Not that it's a bad thing of course, but still comes across as more laziness than anything.
