Wait.... have you guys ever thought that maybe WE won't be going in time with our characters ..... but we'll actually be playing as maybe either one of the "Griffons" or something like that?

Um, no, lol.


[The most I'll give you is that our characters become kids... which concept both interests and terrifies me]

All we know for sure are the following (this is all from SE)

- Time Travel
- New Spells
- New ways to EXP


Also, assuming SE is following the same pattern it started with RotZ, we won't be getting new jobs in this one but in the next one. I think that would suck though, as this is an opportunity to bring back "lost" jobs from the past. Oh, and I believe someone found in the .dats some time ago that there are missions leading up to rank 15. However, assuming this is in the past, I'm betting the missions will fall under new categories.


That said I would dearly love it if SE revamped the conquest system. Regional influence simply isn't felt enough, and this would be a good time to change that. I wonder if when you're in the "past", all 3 nations will be tallied separately as usaul, or if it will be the Allied Forces of Altana vs the Beastmen...


One thing they could do is give bonuses such as increased EXP to players from the nation that controls the region. This could potentially help to lighten the end game camps in ToAU and actually give conquest real meaning again other than cheaper teleports and regional vendors.

If these new ways to EXP involve anything other then soloing and TP burns, this will probably make me reactivate and buy the new expansion... Oh how I long for a traditional party...

Also, whenever I see "WtG" I think of "Way To Go" instead of "Wings of the Godess"... I think I'll prefer to call it "WotG"

Here's something to think about though.

My thoughts on Odin

What's weird, is that Odin made a pact with Luzaf 200 years ago but also pretty much instigated the Crystal War 30 years ago in the main lands. I'd like to know how this guy gets around so much... and what significance the shattered protocrystal of darkness (assuming that actually was it, and it's a pretty safe bet it is) has on what's going on now in Vana'diel.

At the end of all this though, more than anything I'm hoping SMN end up with Odin and/or Alexander as a summon (oh boy wouldn't that suck if that was one of the "you can only chose one" rewards at the end of ToAU?)

Yeah I wonder if that little kid in the picture is Trion.

LOL Mhurron has 4 results...who's searched google for Mhurron before? XD

I haven't but now I'm gonna >_>;;;;
And you'd be surprised how much stuff comes up from what I believed to be original name(when i made it 5 years ago).

To the pictures posted. O.O >.< O.O >.< O.O *drools) Must get..... *Engages fan boy mode, but fails to activate* Indeed, seeing the historical events as they happen would truely be unique and amazing to go through. I myself would want to spend time seeing the Shadow Lord mass his forces, see what arises in Delkfutts tower, and watch Windurst be saved by Fenrir.
I wonder if we even get to see Odin actually break free of the protocrystal and the exact pact between him and the Shadow Lord.

Course, the fact of Kindred Seals and Beastman seals made kind of a prequal to the difference to the beastmen armys(children of Promathia) and the Kindred, army/children/minions of Odin. Though what in terms of divine difference is there between Promathia and Odin. Both gods so to speak, Odin a celestia avatar, Promathia brother to Altania.

Would we also see the events that triggers Dynamis realms as we know it unfold and taken there as normal exp zones for WoTG and even fight/become Hydra Corps members?

Back on topic, I think the story of Aht Urghan will sort of wrap-up within it's own storyarch, which will span both Treasures and Wings. I assume this from the appearance of Naja Salaheem, that Puppermaster girl, et cetera, within the video (remember, all those charactor shots done really really quickly?).

Of course, this is not to assume the Main Lands won't also have a HUGE involvment in Wings; at the very least moreso than they did in Treasures.

I dunno, ToA seems to be reaching the climax of its story and if you've gotten reasonably deep into CoPs there are some interesting crossover connections, particulary where Odin and Alexander are concerned. CoP doesn't exactly come out and answer why Odin and Alexander are referenced, but we see why and how Odin is the force behind a lot of things...

stuff

The he was the voice that drove those Northlands Incident folks mad, Shadow Lord got his kindred army from Odin, its even speculated that the beastmen are either creations of Odin or Alexander, not promathia. Odin also speaks through magicite. Lets people make soul pacts with him. Odin pretty much seems like FFXI's own Satan here.

All that said, I don't see ToA areas just falling under neglect as soon as the expension is out. Its bascially the center of the game now, so there should be quests and content to come there still. Perhaps not all quest lines and storyarchs are said and done there, but I feel the main ToA storyarch pretty much is near complete.

There could be some loose ends between CoP and ToA in terms of the avatars though. For those that got to sky in RoZ, you'll note that there's talk eight protocrystals, but only six players could ever challenge the avatars in.

Odin's Protocrystal lies shattered in the northlands, Alexander's is not yet accounted for. Yet we know these two are not sleeping like the other six protocrystal avatars, but we do now know why Carbuncle's concerned for what happens when avatars awaken. Odin and Alexander are proof of the potential chaos.

WotG looks like it's going to be an epic re-telling of the great war. I for one, can't wait to see the climactic battle of Volker & Zeid vs The Shadow Lord.

Pre-Rendered. I doubt they used the game engine to create those.

Those aren't pre-rendered .... this is coming from someone who's been working in the video game industry for the past 4 years. If you look closely at some of the shots you can still see the plants are very pixelated and how old some of the textures look on the rocks ect.

I can tell you that they did use a high end system when they took the shots... that's about all.

Re: The OFFICIAL &quot;Wings of the Goddess&quot; @ E3 2007 Thread!

Wow. Some of those environment screen shots are amazing. S-E sure knows how to squeeze more life out of old engines...

Ya they look amazing, I'm looking forward to hopefully some old cop mission type in challenge. Thanks for the /rerail.
