OHOHOHOHO!

I'm not a big Dragon Quest fan, but I want to get a Shantoto minion for sure!

For those who never completed A Shantotto Ascension in FFXI: SpoilerThe giant Shantotto is XI canon. During ASA, Shantotto casts an experimental spell that goes awry. She is replaced with Domino Shantotto, who decides to make herself empress and take over the world. You later meet a shy sweet Shantotto in a white outfit, whom you suspect is what little is inside of Shantotto that is good, leaving Domino as the remaining evil. Good and evil Shantotto! Her spell split her in half - oh wait, the Good Shanotto and Domino Shantotto have joined forces to take over the world. Uh.

Then Normal Shanotto comes along and explains that neither of them are her - she got knocked to another dimension temporarily and these two got sucked in from that dimension. Good Shanotto is defeated quickly, but Normal Shantotto and Domino Shantotto blow up to giant size and have an epic battle in Yhoater Jungle. Normal Shantotto wins. And the world was saved... for now.

Thus, blowing herself up to giant proportions is a skill that Shantotto has in FFXI canon!

I kind of like how they are taking characters that are able to leap through other worlds and incorporating them into the storyline to make at least some sense. I can't wait for the Shantotto one. :) By far my favorite character in any FF game.

I believe in ff8 Spoileryou transcend dimension to fight ultimicia. So in theory we could see Rinoa being the last sorceress in that game.

I do hope for more tie-ins from XI in the future. The story does indicate the adventurers are not from Eorzea so it is possible to have some more NPCs leak in from Vana'diel as well....As long as it makes sense and it's not permanent. I still want XIV to be it's own game and not just a remake of XI.

I always figured that the Warriors of Light / adventurers were from another continent. Eorzea is just one of presumably several continents on the world of Hydelaen.

Really it is like all other events so far and is just another fate..I saw pictures of these a week ago and thought maybe it was like a dungeon battle similiar to a bcnm and thought oh cool. UGG where is the imagination!

Is this how every event is going to be? A fate!!!!!!!!!

I used to hate how in FFXI every year the same holiday event was the same every year... I mean they had a year to think of something different.. At least each holiday had a different event and its own mini game. After 7 years the whole egg letter thing gets boring for a egg helm.

I hope this is because the game is new and they come out with some cool holiday events that are different from each other.

Pretty much. You also get a silly hat for the Dragon Quest one.

That last cut scene for There's Golems in those Hills was too funny. Then to see female characters in the game got the same cutscene.. hahah..

I love how some of the toy items have decent stats. I'm not the only one I've seen in level 15 dungeons wearing the Lightning gear set.

They had it last fall too.

Ah, okay then. As long as I didn't miss it.
