Thread: FFXIV 2.0 Random Speculation/Question Thread XII: End Of An Era - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!    

The Official forums went full retard a long time ago. SE is partly to blame too. There is no moderation of the forums and the way information is conveyed is vague and confusing at best, especially when the mods post a translated response.

Seems like people scan the responses for some keywords and make up their own conclusions. Everything been explained over and over and yet people cannot comprehend the simplest info.

Lodestone posters remind me of this,

I visited the official forums a couple days ago and i found myself facepalming at this thread where someone posted some bogus ass source of a leaked release date for July 2013 and the majority of the people who replied thought this was actually true, it got so bad that a mod had to close the thread in disbelievment that such a thread had existed in the first place.

Today, i visited ZAM and people were questioning the graphics quality of FFXIV through an alpha streamed video that was chopped up and posted to Youtube. The video was streamed with Bandicam when officially released videos and screenshots show the game having amazing graphics. I mean XIV has a modified version of Luminous Studios for it's game engine built from the ground up.

How can people be so retarded? It's like you tell someone that there's a creature hiding inside of a cave with the nipple length of terror and they'll believe it fullheartedly.

Read something about being able to train mounts to be WHM, BLM, WAR somewhere in 2.0, is that true? And if so, can I make a Battle Goober? I want him to be able to throw fireballs of mass destruction

Only chocobos

If you have full control over the SE account then you should be good. Full control as in change Email, addy, payment, password, etc...

Yea now you need some notarized paper from SE with like photo ID to prove its your account. It was different for XI as that was just the POL account.

This is a unified SE account that holds XI and XIV accounts. If you have full control of the SE master account, I cant see how they can take that away from you.

If they are the original owner they can almost always get it back. If you buy an account, you are taking a risk of access being recalled unless you get all of the relevant passwords, addresses, names, and a photo ID of the original owner. However, if you do have all of this information, it can still be recalled and then you're in a situation where you can tell the guy/gal that if they don't let you have the account back you're going to lock them out for good as SE will terminate the account if it is recalled too many times.

So wtf happened? I haven't followed this game in a year. They closed the servers today for good, and rent reopening them until they release the new game, a realm reborn? I saw the 5min video, I guess that's how the world ended and now everyone got transported to a new realm? Wtf is going on lol.

The game was a flop.
They replaced Tanaka with Yoshi-P, a young hot-shot.
He has won everyone's hearts and is taking everything in a much better direction.

-story-
• The Garleans continue to want to conquer all of Eorzea and have some sort of vendetta against the Beast tribes and their gods (Primals).
• One of the Garlean generals, Nael van Darnus, and his entire unit have gone completely rogue and has began drawing the lesser moon, Dalamud, as a meteor to crash into us and wipe everything out instead.
• Meteor was a considered a bad idea by all because the Garleans once did this in the past and destroyed their own land.
• We battle Nael van Darnus, and Dalamud turns out to be some sort of ancient vessel, containing something terrible which appears to be borderline-posessing Nael van Darnus.
• We thwart the Nael van Darnus' plans while another Garlean general, Gaius van Baelsar, somewhat aids us in doing so because he wants there to be something left to conquer.
• We are encouraged to pray to the "Twelve" (good) deities in hopes that they come save the day like they allegedly have in the past.
• The end draws near, the 3 nations unite and march together against the Garlean forces underneath the approaching meteor in hopes that a last-ditch effort might save us.
• Shit goes down, Dalamud starts to crack, and eject what looks like massive keys or swords.
• We watch it break and release Bahamut.
• Bahamut proceeds to fuck shit up while we all watch in horror.
• The few NPCs that are in on the whole thing and are aware of what's going on are seen praying at the stones representing the Twelve guardians.
• Each spot lifts up a massive key/sword of light in attempts to re-contain Bahamut in a new prison (which is what Dalamud was all along).
• The last attempts completely fails and all looks to be lost.
• With the last drops of his strength, a buddy NPC heavily involved in the resistance against the Garleans/Dalamud appears to teleport us out of harms way so we can most likely be around to fight Bahamut when shit settles down.

This lore was primarily there to explain why the new version of the game is going to be geographically different and create points of interest at where each of the 12 original key/swords that were ejected out of Dalamud landed.
