Re: The OFFICIAL "Wings of the Goddess" at TGS 2007 Thread! DANCER AND RELEASE DATE!

Featured prominantly in a photo, and also in the movie is a Mithra with a really big bow. Important NPC in WotG?

I would have to say that the Mithra with the bow is Perih Vashai as well. The text in the video says "Lend me the light of a thousand stars". To me, that is a hint that at least in our current game, that she is blind, or it is heavily hinted that she is.

This story is actually told the RNG job/AF storyline, which also entails to first appearance of the mithran sin hunters. It is also alluded to in the Windurst mission storyarch, but the RNG AF story also shares some ties to the fate of the Karuha-Baruha.

It'll be nice to see the full story in the expansion.

That's because its the only way they (PUP) can get a party.

That's a pretty shallow way of putting it.

Main healing also happens to be the "only way" WHM and RDM get PTs. However, PUP has enough solo functionality to go without PTs and like BLM and BSTs, don't complain too much since it allows them a nice heap of beastmen seals, coffer keys and gil in general. I certainly don't see RDM and WHMs soloing for EXP, but they could.

And you're wrong, PUPs are now also welcomed in Manaburn PTs, as automations eventually get access to Tier IV nukes.

Ah, I wouldn't know about the RNG story. My RNG is lv. 1 *LOL* I just know that Perih Vashai sits with her eyes closed and I am vaguely aware of somewhere there being a mention that she is blind.

As for Karaha-Baruha, I am very interested in seeing that. The Windurst missions explain that pretty well I think, but nothing could beat seeing the actual events.

I'm curious as to how they're supposed to reconcile playing the Battle of Windurst out, static zones, and the ability to play through missions at any pace and at any time. Is Windurst Walls going to be a cutscene-only zone?

For that matter, was that Heavens Tower behind him without the Great Star Tree? I thought that the Tree was a much older miracle? -- Pteryx

All will be revealed this November.

In the mean time, we just have to stay sane!

No, it's some other tower that isn't around anymore. You can see the great star tree in the distance behind Karuha-Baruha when he does his summoning animation.

I can't imagine that SE would do a Besieged element very similar to how it was done in Al'Zhabi. These are historical events that have to unfold to a certain conclusion. I think there will be various temporal anomalies in the game, possibly even zones stuck in time loops while other zones take a bit longer to "loop" and feel more normal.



Three Days.
Three Days!
THREE DAYS!

Or these "maws" that appear all over Vanadiel will take us to specific instanced zones where certain events are taking place in a specific time frame, which would be less problematic than doing a time looped zone. I mean really, just imagine someone being late to a mission, unprepared and you miss the incident with the chieftainess in Castle Oztroja. That would suck.

There is one zone in WoW, the "Caverns of Time" where there are three different points in history you can enter to perserve or prevent an event from taking place. Making some these areas instanced rather than exist in a time loop would be the better way to go about it.

Thanks for that, I tried to find it, but Mozilla and VGCats don't want to play nice.

Well that was taken a bit more seriously than I expected. I've had people taking pokes at DRG for years, its just nice to turn the tables once in a while.

Oh, and RDMs get invited to parties to be Refresh & hastes monkies more than to be main heal.

I like how unfunny statements become jokes when someone gets corrected.

Which is why I quit RDM. RDM is a main-healing refresh/haste monkey now. I'd like to nuke and enfeeble again. If I can't do that, I have no reason to finish the job to 75.

That aside, when can we expect a Dancer forum?
