The whole "the Echo is what lets you see AoE markers" is just a widespread fan theory that has no lore basis (even though it'd make sense).
I don't think it literally produces AOE markers in the WoL's field of vision, that's just like a mechanical representation of your Newtype senses. You can still gently caress up but it's way harder.

The telegraph markers are a representation of what you see Fordola doing: she's able to read your intent and avoid your attack before you can even start swinging. You can do the same thing.

Keep in mind that this was before they had a solid idea of what they wanted the Echo to be, hence why the WoL gets to help out with the morbol fight.

I haven’t seen the Morbol fight one.

Okay the mi’qote is obviously the Bard we see in the group from the later CGI scenes/who the Warriors of Darkness are based on, and the Elezen sitting with them is probably the Black Mage. The Roegadyn member of the group and the Lalafell healer is fighting in his vision too.

So that just leaves one question.

What happened to the Elezen gladiator chick? She’s not in the WoD or any other cinematics.

This is gonna drive me crazy.

The breakdown of Dancing Mad they'll use for O8S is great too.


Reddit's got a strange thing where they won't share datamined music for Soken's sake but everything else is fair game so you can't get the link there so you gotta get yourself over to /vg/ for a link, sadly.

I'm pretty sure that Byakko's theme has the FFXI sky theme in there somewhere but I might be completely insane. I just can't NOT hear it, but it's probably because the sky theme was so simple.

Also dancing mad is a nasty remix and I love it so much.

If you want to get pumped while waiting for maintenance to end, here are really cool BGM only videos of O4S and the Unending Coil. The phase transitions are *even more awesome* without voice chat or combat sounds to drown them out.

The transition from Phoenix to Golden Bahamut in Ultimut is amazing and I wish I was good enough to get through O4S, let alone that fight.

Yeah, in hindsight that didn't even make sense given that Ravana, Bismarck, and a number of other HW bosses have AOE indicators anyway.

I imagine because it will slow down the lunge towards the new content, as people will have to do the task in question rather than just skip three cutscenes.

It's a term the community has picked up to address the fact that you can't do instanced battle content, meaning you can't carry on with the story or side content.

Everything combat related that isn't Fractal hard at the moment is locked behind gates because the game doesn't work.

In this case, we don't literally mean a fight against Raubahn.

At Stormblood launch, there were two solo duties placed fairly closed together. One was triggered by talking to Raubahn, the other was triggered by talking to Pipin.

For..... whatever reason, there weren't enough resources allocated to the instance servers, which then proceeded to instantly crumple and beg for mommy under the weight of millions of nerds trying to rush MSQ. And it's not just a per-server thing either, the instance server serves the entire datacenter.

Some of us were lucky, they got through without any issue.
Some of us were stubborn: they just kept clicking on Raubahn until the instance server let them in.
Some of us were superstitious: they queued in line. See previous statement about how the instance server serves the entire datacenter, not just the one world.
Some of us just hosed off and did something else: Levelled SAM, RDM, or in our particular case, hosed off to Omega and helped Eurogoons found an FC on the brand new EU datacenter.

You managed to avoid all of this by virtue of being a latecomer to Stormblood.

Well, it's happened again. The instance servers are being ground to a pulp by nerds trying to bumrush their way to Sigmascape and beyond.
