Question about technology - yhvh13 - 07-07-2017 I've never seen this addressed ingame, but in big cities, like Limsa or Ul'Dah... They have electricity and stuff like that? I mean, Gold Saucer is defnitely a very advanced place in the tech aspect. Garlean stuff def. are. I guess they don't use linkpearls either? I've seen Cid mentioning that they use electromagnetic communication devices (so he could find a way to jam it). RE: Question about technology - Crystal Chronicler - 07-07-2017 Despite how it looks in game, I know that Limsa uses oil burning lanterns as there is a quest to refill guttering street lamps with oil. I would imagine that this is the same in the other city states as well. As for the Gold Saucer, I can't say. Its far to well lit for oil lamps so maybe they power it with lightning sprite cores or something. RE: Question about technology - L'ohba Tia - 07-07-2017 Within Eorzea, things that look like electric lights are usually explained as being powered by bomb cores. Garlemald does have electricity which is described as harnessing lightning-aspected aether, and thus anything in Eorzea that might be involved with the Ironworks could likely use electricity. RE: Question about technology - Valence - 07-10-2017 Ul'dah also has access to a ceruleum source in Northern Thanalan, which is a rare thing (and thus why Garlemald has been all over it too). Eorza generally is in a state where industrialization is only starting ti happen. On another note, as stated in SB, linkpearls can be jammed too, just not through the same method. |
