RE: [Spoilers] heavensward lore discussion - shotgunbadger - 06-21-2015
Is there any bit of fresher Au Ra lore in the expansion? Seems kinda weird to have them as just this random thing that apparently has nothing to do with anything?

It's mentioned in the DRK lore that some Xaela ended up in Ishgard due to feeling from the Empire. The majority were also killed by Ishgardians fearing they were draconic.

Nidhogg himself is not a friendly guy, either... but it's kinda understandable considering what happened to him.
Yeah, I wanted to convey that I understand why they're pretty much eat them all and salt the earth mode, but that they are still in that mode and thus cannot be reasoned with.
Which is actually a plot point!

Yeah havent really noticed much Au ra lore yet, wonder why it hasn't really been addressed yet. Everyone just was like: Oh, yeah, Yugiri has horns, k.

Anyone yet know the lore behind the Baldur weapons. They are beautiful and the sword and shield will be my weapons of choice, ill have to rename them of course if they are lore heavy but gods they are pretty.

I feel very bad for Dragoons now.

I've been collecting little bits of lore here and there while playing. One of the ones I liked most was the fact that the people of Falcon's Nest trained as falconeers so that they could have a warning system against the Dravarians in case the Astrologians couldn't come through in time for them. It was nice to see something practical like that.

Warrior of Darkness is apparently a copy of our Midlander friend. He also resides on the moon with the White-robed Ascian.
Also, the goblins "accidentally" summon Alexander.

FFVI reference in Estinien's dialogue in the Churning Mists.
Estinien Wrote:Such contradictions aside, our hosts seemed entranced by the height of my leap. They compared me to "Mog," a lance-wielding moogle warrior of eld who also favored such attacks.
(While Mog is known more for dancing than jumping, his weapon of predilection was the spear.)

There's another FF6 reference in the last zone. And it was one I was wholly not expecting and would love to find out more if the game would stop shitting the bed every couple minutes.
