Strange Stuff In Vana'diel

Kadenmire · 05-03-2006, 06:05 PM

I have noticed some strang sites around the world in Vana'diel and was wondering if anyone else seen some of these and if they knew what the are all about.

#1 Gusgen Mines lowest level section G7 ghost of a kid running around.
#2 Konschtat Highlands section D7 cave leeding to nowhere.
#3 South Gustaberg section I7 strang carving in side of mountain.

I just noticed that all of these things are in an area ending with a 7 wonder if that means anything. I have screen shots if anybody wants to see them.

actually the #2 cave is used for Samurai quest ^^

Gusgen mines has quite a few ghosts in it... It's rather creepy. Also, if you go to the many little ponds within Gusgen (where the NM ghosts spawn), you can often hear strange noises such as laughter and clangs and such. I kinda like it, it adds to the feel of the place.

The cave that leads to nowhere has a "???" at the end - it's for spawning an NM for the Samurai flag quest.

As for the carving... I don't recall ever seeing that. I just arrived in Bastok so I'm gonna go check it out right now.

*moments later*
Hmm... I think it's just the Bastok flag emblem? Makes sense, they're miners and stoneworkers, their city is built out of rock and stone... I'd be surprised if they didn't have something carved on there ^^
I'd never noticed it before though. Interesting :3 thanks for pointing it out ^^

There're lots of strange sights around Vana'diel, most do have a use or explanation, often involved in some mission or another. It's fun progressing and learning more about it all

I'll have to check out that stone carving. I don't generally look around Bastok too much (sorry Bastokans!) but I love seeing little things like that that the game designers sprinkled throughout the world.

Ok I've gote a new one just found this one when I was trying to target a mob.

Buburimu Peninsula I9 Hieroglyphics by the gate to Mhaura.

Anyone know what these are all about?

Ryddr · 06-23-2006, 01:05 PM

Why? That wouldn't be considered vandalism would it?

" *eep*

Haggai · 06-23-2006, 01:11 PM

I've always wondered about the Hieroglyphics myself. Anyone know?

As for the ghosts in Gusgen, I like 'em. Makes it seem kinda creepy. I think they are there because lots of people were killed in the mines in an accident. Maybe it was on purpose, I forget.

I-6/I-7 in La Theine has an odd cave with nothing in it, no ???, or anything. Not even an NM. North side of the hills.

Also, around G6/7 in highlands, if you are positioned properly, it looks like a man is holding up a large ball or something on the rockface. Reminds me of the Greecian story of Titan, not the ingame one.

edit: Heiroglyphs=dynamis for that region. Dynamis-Valkurm, Dynamis-Qufim, etc.

Hart · 06-23-2006, 01:17 PM

Now I'm very curious, what's the Greecian story of Titan??

There you go.

Hart · 06-23-2006, 02:24 PM

oop! I see, like the ones from Hercules. heh thank you.

Herrisa · 06-23-2006, 02:36 PM

If you look deeper you'll find lots of unused caves, tunnels, and places that lead to nowhere around the world. I believe the developers were asked about this once and they said they put them in there just in case they ever want to add new zones, quests, etc in those areas.

I have to go check out that carving though... I never knew it was there. There is suppose to be SE's logo on the side of the airships that you can see when it's taking off, but I've never seen it. So blind to these things...

What I want to know... where does that gate outside Kazham lead to. You know, the one behind the wall and flag. I bet that's where the mithra keep their males. Come on, mithra, can't we even get a peek?

I killed them all... wait, no-my entire party killed a group of people in Gusgen Mines, and so-that's how they got to be there. :D

Oddest thing ever, the floating Dandylions in the Highlands.

Having just gotten back from a night of looking up Halo easter eggs, I found this amusing.
