  • Change is coming!!!!! (witnesses report signs of approaching evil!)Historical update

    It's raining nonstop everywhere.

    There is no music in Thanalan.

    NPCs in Uldahn camps are stating the Garleans attacked and downed an Uldahn ferry with no survivors.

    Eorzea is changing, war is coming.
    I noticed that, I was like wheres the music! I think SE being pretty sneaky about introducing content!
    Linkshells Of Eorzea Band together for a Storm Approaches!!
    And people didn't believe me when I said there was a surprise coming with 1.17a
    Urianger Augurelt: Hear my words if you are in search of truth...
    Urianger Augurelt: The disaster in Hydaelyn is imminent...
    Urianger Augurelt: The time of awakening has come for those who are preparing to tackle the chaos in motion...
    Urianger Augurelt: The future is not immutable... You can still change it...
    Urianger Augurelt: When the sixth sun will have set and the seventh moon shine in the sky, the ocean of clouds poured a rain of fiery flames and shadows fatal burst forth from the depths of the earth...
    Urianger Augurelt: The "Seventh Purification" predicted by Mezaya approaches...
    Urianger Augurelt: You who are in search of truth... wake up and put yourself against the imminent threat...
    Someone in my ls got a Deaspected Crystal while we were farming Phaia today. Monsters around the world are beginning to drop Deaspected Crystals at low rates, as well as during levequests. These are "affronts to nature, divested of all aspect."

    You can also obtain them through gathering.
    The rain has stopped. Everything is still silent.

    It rained much longer than normal, on every server at the same time, and in every zone.
    Ugh and NOW I'm away and can't log in, just when something cool happens.
    Saw this on the official forums. Looks like GMs are appearing and buffing people.

    Wow, I didn't log on today but now I'm definitely going to check all of this stuff out tomorrow. This is the kind of stuff I've been wanting to see since day 1!

    Hype hype hype
    I am loving this, kudos to SE for implementation of this, the fact that we are seeing hints of what is to come before the event makes it seem more real and generates excitement. I'm loving this, really I am.

    It also opens us up to a lot more speculation, if the Grand Companies are re-forming could this be an introduction to more jobs (?), times of war could see (for example) the reformation of a Chocobo Knight division, for some Dark Knight shock toops? That would be pretty cool - and more to the point - relevant!
    Keep in mind that, according to The Five Ages - An Eorzean Chronology, the history of Eorzea's many nations has been collected by Lewphon of Sharlayan and assigned a common dating system in order to bring it all together -- and we are currently living in the Sixth Astral Age.

    My assumption is that Eorzea's historians change over to a new age whenever the world either falls into chaos, or recovers from it. When the world is consumed by darkness, an Astral Age's history is ended, the book closed, and a new book begun on the next Umbral age, and it continues as such until the darkness is defeated.

    Considering that we have been in the Sixth Astral Age for 233 years, the next umbral age could begin any time between five minutes from now and infinity. We'll have to find some more clues.

    If I had to guess, I'd say the Garlean Empire is about to make a move on Gridania and the Grand Companies of all nations are going to ally against the threat to Eorzea.

    It could even explain why the crystals are becoming deaspected, as the story quests say

    the Primal ones require the energies of crystals - and the beasttribes are in no position to share.

    just sounds like bored employees spending some downtime on something other than Facebook. None of it seems related and either way I can't imagine anyone getting hyped over this. Things must be pretty boring indeed in Eorzea if people are getting worked up over weird weather patterns. It's like a funny-shaped cloud appeared over some backwater farming community and now the whole village is talking about it.

      I wouldn't even be surprised if it's just bugs from the last patch. Nothing is going to happen until the "egg" event ends which isn't for another couple of weeks at the most. Must be a lot of *desperate* players atm >.>

        oh mew! >< How can you ignore the script from the mysterious GM?

        Urianger Augurelt: Hear my words if you are in search of truth...
        Urianger Augurelt: The disaster in Hydaelyn is imminent...
        Urianger Augurelt: The time of awakening has come for those who are preparing to tackle the chaos in motion...

        Urianger Augurelt: You who are in search of truth... wake up and put yourself against the imminent threat...

        They aren't glitches or bored employees' unauthorized mischief...


        Rain everywhere and the period of no music is an intended element to express a serious change of mood for the coming era! 0.0

        These are signs. And the signs are real, mew!

          Did it rain fiery flames or did it just rain? Because those still seem unrelated.

            Well mystical writings are not entirely literal with what they mean. Besides the fiery flames would come with Garlean forces arrives and stuff!

            The actual rain is a sign before the actual signs!

              Just an FYI, it rains in the Black Shroud ... A LOT. And there's no scripted timer for the weather as it's completely random for realism.

                And lo, on the 8th day came the Destroyer. After he washed his hands He said "Still not getting a subscription to 14 till I get my damned Caladbolg."

                  If the weather was completely random in real life I'd be scared as fuck to go outside.

                  I understood what you were saying perfectly but you still made that thought pop into my head.

                    Dude it'd be cool if it rained meteors and chocobos at random and the occasional chocolate waffles and jello bomb shots.

                      Sure, it would be cool if it rained all those things. But since it's random I could just as easily be subjected to falling pianos and anvils.

                        But that's where you can also randomly pull out a shield barrier to protect you or randomly become naked and squashed like a bug on the windshield of a formula F1. It sure beats the double rainbow video though...

                          It's kind of adorable that people think that SE would actually be cool enough to do things like this.

                            I dunno, with their new team in place it's entirely possible. They've openly stated they're going to change map layouts, battle systems, add companies and tons of other major changes, it's not completely beyond reason they'll do all that stuff without adding some lore behind it.

                              But randomly and without announcing it? Unlikely.
