TGS 2007 - WotG Preview Movie - 9.20

[Priran]

Here's the Orange Slug I was talking bout (had to learn how to take Screenshots of Desktop and Media Player to figure out how to take it lol).

i have high hopes for this expansion pack, its done by the CoP team. Although i'm severly dissapointed in how atomos looks =/. But just the fact that they acually made REAL land worms makes up for it all.

I think it's safe to now say that Team CoP > Team RotZ/ToAU (RT). For me, at least. Team RT gives you stuff to do, while Team CoP leaves you full and in awe.

HAY GUYZ NE1 WANT SUM INSTANCE?????????

I'm calling Assault-style missions in which you invade Beastmen strongholds.

Best pull from the movie, good catch.

I have noticed this a few times, they like to toss in hints in the background, while the foreground is filled with whatever the main aspect is supposed to be.

I have a theory that there might be a lot of those in certain areas. Wartime barriers but in reality they'll keep us out of areas in the past that aren't accessible. It's really hard to say at this point though. Aaargh so much speculation.

stuff on Louverance

Well, do you mean Louverance-Louverance or Atarefaunet-Louverance? I think Atarefaunet is the THF guy (as in Atarefaunet's band of thieves, over here in Elmer's THF topic) and the CoP one, while plain ol' Louverance is the one that duels him at the end. Makes me wonder which one the kid would be if he even is one of them, though it could be Atarefaunet since we keep bumping into him and I think he was from a family with a noble name too... Remevel? Revemel? I'd have to watch the Sanny CoP CS again and I never did the questlines with them. The JP wiki seems to have a lot on him.

Not exactly a ninja-edit with the help of a full night's sleep: oh hay, it can't be Atarefaunet because he wasn't running a band of thieves when he was 5 years old. hurrrr

Would it be viable if the Dancer job could somehow give weaponskill effects to others through the effects of their dances? Just a random though going through my mind... would this be unpractical and a hassle to implement?

NEW HOT MITHRA FACE!!! /Avv

That's Perih Vashl before she got blinded, the face is already in the game.

she's got a magnetic bow and arrows.



Oh and the kid is Trion. just look at his hair/face <_<

Just noticed the PLD at the end has Ragnarok rofl -.-

[Priran]

trion should be 1 year old at the time of this expansion, I don't think that's him.

Well, it's extremely unlikely, but he could be Trion from a little bit further into the present (like 10 years ago) who was transported to this time. Like I said, extremely unlikely, but you never know!

Evil lady bugs! At first I just thought they were the gnats, then when I rewatched it I noticed they were different.

First thought about the kid was it looked like a young Trion. The side bangs match his pointy style. But who knows. Trion's long lost brother!?

So, we get to see a few new mobs, buncha new looking weapon skills, more of the new zones, and Atomos. Kick ass.

I must say I've really liked the trailers they've been putting out. The Aht Urghan one was really good, but this just blows it away. I really like the music they're using for these WoTG trailers. I can't wait for it to go live.

[Priran]

I really hope that SE doesn't pull another ToAU-esque "the lowest level mob in the entire expansion aggros 75" deal. I'd really like to walk around the new zones. The only thing that kept travel in ToAU from being a complete pain in the ass were the runic portals, and I don't think they had those 20 years ago.

Seriously, anyone remember when there was no chocobo NPC in Al Zahbi? Travel was fucking awful.

They might take advantage of the Cavernous Maws as a way of transportation.

I agree with the aggro thing. Hopefully things are just slightly higher level than their present counterparts. (Like maybe 5-20 levels higher? Beastman-related stuff would be much higher, and normal stuff would be closer to the area's average present level.)

[Priran]

Speculation is that the missions for WotG will somehow involve performing duties for all 3 nations and/or Jeuno, and may or may not be tied in to saving a 15-year-old-girl.

Is this official speculation?

I totally agree with you, though I dunno. Maybe the kid is Louverance.. we just won't know until it comes out. D:

Also, I love the screencap you got there. That dancer is getting ready to woop some ladybug ass! Or..whatever they have.

I too also hope that we can walk around the new (old) zones outside Windy, and all of those places, along with the new zones we've never seen before without getting agro'd by everything. D: I hated that in ToAU as well.

Why did she go blind? Nothing in the wiki.

Also is she related to this person in any way?

[BRP]

Uh, is she even blind? I thought she chooses to keep her eyes closed to see the world in a better way or something. I'm not Ranger, so I haven't spent a lot of time with her. If she is blind, we will find out what made her that way in WotG more than likely.

Also, I'm going to guess Werei is shaking hands with the former Gumbah. I love the line "Our friendship will transcend generations".

[Kimitsu]

Dunno, I just know in the .dats she has no animation option for opening eyes.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...sdfsdfsdfs.jpg

might wanna have a rng or quest junkie add to any possible story scenarios though.

[Stromgarde]

She has the same skeleton as a regular mithra, adding the extra animations would be fairly simple for SE.

[Ghostsix.Midgard]

And she looks peeved. Also.. I still need to get this music. >.>

She was blinded when she used the Bow of Light (or was it the Arrow of Light? I can't quite remember). We are told her story, indeed, in the RNG AF quests (forgive me for not giving more details, it's been a while).

[Priran]

I think there's a Kazham quest that mentions the arrow or bow or whatever of light.
