I remember looking at the trailer and realizing there's no crystal formations at all, almost as though when SE announced that there were forces in Thanalan, they made the CG then and forgot to make it of Mor Dhona. But I guess that's the Flats...
As always, there's still so many questions, and I just have to pray that they really enrich us in the lore for ARR. Bahamut's still prowling around, and I still have yet to find evidence that we found a way to break the cycle. I mean...we/the Twelve could have weakened Bahamut, I guess, and I like ED's ideas of having the Twelve's influence remaining after.
Now that it's mentioned...I would have liked to see the Path in that cutscene, as well. To me, it seemed as though the quests ended abruptly, and left a lot of questions (Such as the...spectre-looking things that only appeared in that one CS...). It would have been neat just to have a cameo by Minfilla (sp?), looking out the window of the Bazaar of Ul'Dah and wreckage rains down outside.
But I think when it comes down to that, there's odd riffs in the lore and twists away from old plots because the game had to be recovered, old plots had to be tied, and new plots involving the end had to be put in. But then I wonder...was Dalamud's descent planned from the start? Or was it supposed to be the Garlean's, and the next expansion would open up Ishgard, more Garlean stuff, and possibly a way into the empire?
Who knows?
