  1. I'm so happy for Pyro, been watching Pyro's content back since WoW. What is wrong with liking both games? 🙂 I can't wait to see lore speculation for ff and for wow from You 🙂

  2. OK PYRO! I got something for you to wrap your head around…
    1. @ 50:09 graphic says "In this region overflowing with Lightning energies, Thick thunderclouds blot the Sun, While streaks of pure Levin illuminate the land day and night"
    2. @ 51:00 looks like street lamp things and @ 51:16 graphic shows what look like powerlines
    3. @ 1:13:31 looks like inside a computer obviously and you noticed what looked like an Ascian Mask, which doesn't match any of the known 13 Ascian masks (could it be the mask of Azem?).
    This is my theory. This is a remnant of the Civilization described just before the Second Calamity, the Calamity of Lightning!
    Read Page 23 in the Encyclopedia Eorzea. A civilization that "gutted mountains and blackened the skies" presumably with their industry. They caused the Calamity of Lightning and were forced underground, where they focused on 'prayer' and learned the first 'magical incantations'!!!
    That's what I'm going with. Any thoughts?

  3. Wow. They're going all in on content :O

    Deep dungeon + Field Operation + Variant + Lifestyle + Limited Job (BST + BLU)! In SHB/EW we only got a selection of the above, but we're getting it all now!

  4. Wow this expansion is looking way different than I thought. I really like the clash of futuristic tech above adobe wild west and steam trains. I think Pyro missed it but they mentioned the area is flowing with electricity and I think the purple coloring of the city and power lines is made from thunder elemental crystal. I assume that this civilization discovered electricity early on due to the area being a hotbed of thunder element and developed high tech beyond the rest of the world. The big question then is why does the rest of the world not know about it and who are the people that live there? I'm only about half way through the video but I had to get those thoughts out.

  5. In one of the screenshots, one of the translated Eorzean texts says "Soul Supply" in Solution 9, if you look at the map when they showed it.. the bubble in the top corner does translate directly to "Solution Nine" so it's 100% on the source.

  6. An MMO having cycles is a healthy state, and helps prevent burnout and boredom.

    It's probably the same for content creators.

    Despite the fact that I will continue to not give Blizzard a dime for a good long while, I hope WoW stays good. Competition breeds innovation.

  7. Oh my god you might be right about another civilization having closed themselves off during the final days. And yeah that would make sense with the name "Solution Nine" as it could have been their 9th plan of several others to survive. And additionally adding meaning to "Heritage Found".

    The towering facades portion does make it sound like its all a simulated reality. Maybe they did upload their consciousness to a network. Can't inflict unending despair on a computer system's database lol

  8. Cosmic Exploration interests me. I'm willing to bet the planets we go visit will be the same ones (spoiler alert) Meteion visited thousands of years ago and found that they were already ruined (end spoiler alert) and we get to go and restore them.
