I...don't recall a zone named that. Am I going crazy?

[Suteru]

It's an unused BC zone.

I'd like to see pics from it, but I can't find it using FFXITools2

[Thistle]

Wow, that's a cool zone name. I hope we get access to it some day!

[potatoninja]

sounds like the last bc zone for Wotg like cop had empyreal paradox thats just a guess but it sounds like a war thing to me.

[Suiram]

No, it's been in the game since Zilart. I think from what people have said it looks like Stellar Fulcrum? And that it's where they hold those fanfest battles.

[Raineer]

I thought it actually was stellar fulcrum, the zone where you fight the kid for ZM17.

[calinz]

I thought it actually was stellar fulcrum, the zone where you fight the kid for ZM17.

ZM16/17 takes place in The Celestial Nexus. Steller Fulcrum is the BC atop Delkfutt's Tower in Qufim. And the Last Stand is most likely the zone that the fanfest battles like Heroine's Combat are held(like a previous poster mentioned).

nothing special.

nothing special.

So it's the area under delkfutt's

[Deftscythe]

That's still Stellar Fulcrum. If you check the dialogue tables you'll see the choice to enter each of the fanfest battles is in that zone. The Last Stand is a beta test type area that looks like La Theine. I'm pretty sure it's where that train that pops up every now and again is, along with the famours "chocobo woods" signpost.

[Kiyuan98]

This is the only other area I recall them using for fan fest battles

unless im forgetting lol

[Achika]

Yeah, all 3 of the Fanfest battles were at Stellar Fulcrum on top of Delkfutts. I can confirm that much.

Seems kinda...odd for them to leave a useless zone active on the servers.

[Suteru]

That's not actually a zone in the game, was an early early beta zone to show off the engine. The Last Stand has been in the game for a while, it has the dialog tables for a BC zone, with all the heroes of the nations, ie, "You failed to protect <x>, leaving battlefield." so it's probably the zone that they planned on having rank 10 battles in.

[Achika]

My comment about it being in the game has to do with the fact that they posted that it was one part of the server issues in the original post. It's inaccessible, but according to these notes, it still seems to be in the game. =o

[Lordwafik]

You should know by now that SE doesn't remove zones from the game. They'll remove redundant item like the second versions of the Excalibur/Mjollnir/Gugnir etc, but not entire zones, they still can be used by players who have rematch items (if rematches were given out).

[Achika]

That's understandable I suppose, but what rematch items are you talking about?

Again, Fanfest BCNMs were in Stellar Fulcrum.

[Aikar]

zomg bump! It really bothers me that the zone is so 'polished'. theres ALOT of dialog in this zone, not just the 3 leaders BC stuff.

Theres alot of stuff about npc's leveling up, magic levels of npc, npc's needing to rest, its also under conquest.some kind of battle needing to defeat a certain # of enemies. This zone deals heavily with Fellowship system.

Then you got beastmen dialog, taking orders from players? Something about activating and deactivating mines.

and wtf @ this:

If this is just a trash zone, why so much polish into the dialog tables? theres so much dialog done here. and why announce it in maint?

There is a possibility the zone is accessible somehow and noones simply figured out how :/ Would be a good idea to ask about it at fanfest.

[Pergo]

i'm pretty sure all the zones have the npc dialogue tables, i think they just threw it in every zone when they made npcs

[Rocl]

Pretty much true as for this:

Then you got beastmen dialog, taking orders from players?

It sounds like the dialogue that is said when a player uses one of the Rare/Ex Beastmen Hats.

Choplix's Coif and the like

[Gwynplaine]

It's not La Theine or Stellar Fulcrum. There was a pic someone posted ages ago on KI of someone in the zone with the system message. It looked just like Mordion Gaol, which is to say it looks just like Inner Horototo Ruins, which is to say it looks just like Outer Horototo Ruins, which is to say it's boring green walls. I'd take a guess and say they probably just use it to test bc fights or new game systems or something.

its also under conquest.some kind of battle needing to defeat a certain # of enemies. This zone deals heavily with Fellowship system.

Then you got beastmen dialog, taking orders from players? Something about activating and deactivating mines.

Most of that stuff is Expeditionary Force, and Garrison which, understandably, most people forget exists. And the beastmen are the hats, since you can use them in any zone, the text is in all zones. I don't know why some of that stuff is in all zones, but the mines are from the rank 6 asssault.
