Forums - Gaming Discussion - Final Fantasy XIV brings a familiar friend back to Ivalice (Spoilers)

Yesterday FFXIV Patch 4.5 came out and continued the "Return to Ivalice " storyline and we got our introduction to Fran. And it looks like they're using her updated model from the Zodiac Age Remaster.

 

*

Along with Patch 4.5 we also get a happy ending for Tactics/War of the Lions

*

Side note: Characters and locations from Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy 12 have all been referenced in Final Fantasy 14 since the launch of the game and up to this point. The War of the Lions storyline seems largely intact as past events in the world of Final Fantasy 14, but everything in Final Fantasy 12 is different as if it was an alternate timeline.

Also Viera will be playable in the Expansion Shadowbringers coming early summer 2019 which means the first Ivalice-specific race to be playable.

Neat. I should really replay FFXII.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I don't have time to play MMO's anymore, but damn all of that looks really awesome and tempting.



Really looking forward to Shadowbringers. I stopped playing Stormblood during the whole Ruby Sea segment. It was very irritating. But I re-subbed, finished out that area, and started going through the story again and I remember why I really liked it. Really hoping they start dropping more information soon.

Where is she in the clip? (If she is in it.)
I skimmed through it but I didnt find it.

4.27 <- Watch from this point. They appear and form a protective barrier. You can also read what they're saying in the text box that appear in the middle of the screen.

Mustadio, Agrias, The Thunder God, and Ramza

Thought I was done eh? There is even more..

 

This is half of the world map of FF14, and with the help of Fran, she is showing us a little bit more about what happened to Ivalice. So far it's established that Dalmasca was split in two after its fall, with Lea Monde (a location in Vagrant Story) being the capital of Dalmasca Inferior located on the coast, Valnain. If anything happened to it, it would be very recent.

Also the location of where Fran is pointing at is the Orbonne Monastery.
