VanaFest Coverage (now with actual LiveBlog)

I get the feeling from a cutscene after "Purple, The New Black" that:

Spoiler: show

Lilith is an adult Lilisette from a timeline in which the Shadowreign never ended, which is why we get all those cutscenes of the ruined cities. Perhaps she got caught up with the wrong crowd? >.>

I guess you're right, that's what would make the most sense in the context.

I hadn't really made that connection before, but WoTG suddenly got a lot more interesting!

[Loziel]

Where is the footprint to replay that CS? i wanna see it again now

I am getting the feeling that once things start to unravel and the juicy missions start coming, this one is going to be an Epic, with a few shocking twists and turns along the way...... well its only taken a bloody year from disk release to even get close to this stage but with a wad-load of new stuff promised for 2009, i may just let them off.

And notice horny red-head's pretty wings, which is keeping at her side like a cape.

the goblin footprint is right next to the campaign NPC at the entrance in La Vaule (S). Just trade the "Goblin Footprint" anything and when he gives you a selection pick "Purple, The New Black" or something similar to that.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but what do you think about the Treasure Caskets... will they be a Fields of Valor-thing or did they mean every mob will have a chance of dropping the treasure?

They have a separate heading in the blog, and it says that it will be initially only in a few zones, but that they intend to make it available in more zones. So I say not a Fields of Valor thing.

[Hyan]

Damn, that could be... huge

[Starr]

So Fields of valor is basically a lazy garrison or some shit?

These new mini expansions could of been part of a regular version update with WotG. I guess SE wants an extra $30 for some reason.

A lot of things be apart of a regular update.

These mini expansions are done by a different team who have a different design direction. They are separate from WotG for the most part. It's a bit different than just a random piece of content. It's possible it will have nothing to do with WotG content or what the primary dev team is trying to do. The first one looks it will, but the other two could never even touch the area.

With the popularity of the Tidal Talisman, Squeenix has realized that they can put a price tag on damn near anything and still make plenty of money.

- They will "do something" about WHM and BST.

/cheer.

Synopsis of the big news that came out of this please. :3

Synopsis of the big news that came out of this please. :3

- Tuxes
- SCH and DNC AF2
- SCH and DNC Group2 merits.
- 3 new "expansions"
- Fixes for WHM and BST
- Ways to enter the, previously, exclusive BCs. e.g. "Serpent Generals"
- PUP casting AI fixes.

Think that's about all, kind of a letdown.
