*update*Name of the New expansion ?? Wings of the Goddess

The German title is a literal translation of the the English one.

What's more interesting is the additional text (in English "A tale once lost is about to be retold..") which is a lot more precise:
"Geschichte wird zur Gegenwart" - "History (as in the "The Past") becomes present".

I noticed that too. However I really don't want an expansion which just sends us back in time ; ;.
 
I wonder what "End-game" will be in that expansion o.O Dynamis is based on the crystal war. The Hydras in the northern part of Dynamis - Beaucedine are the original "Hydra Corps" special unit sent to the northlands to destroy the Shadow Lord. They became corrupt and started killing eachother etc. untill eventually all of them were. They were given special armour to enhance their performance, and the general of each unit (read: jobs) were given a special weapon that had a life of its own.

So basically, this would take place before then? Maybe this is how SE plan to implement COR PUP and BLU AF2 in to the northlands <.< By changing how the battle played out or something... Doubfull, but I still want to know what the end-game will be! xD

Edit: actually, watching the vid yet another time, I somehow doubt it will be the Crystal War. The text leading up to it, makes me think its another part of Vana'Diels history, before The crstal War. especially the "A Tale Once Lost... is about to be retold". That possibly points towards a point in history that people don't speak of

wow... winter of 2007:shok: they still have a long way to go with the taou missions make me wonder if they are going put it on the back burner (I hope not). Then there the far east they need to add as well. Think uzor might be on to something with the rifts in certain zones. Wonder what the requirements will be to enter, hope it something like have to had beaten the dynamis lord or rank 10 all nations
 
ok ... I watched the trailer a second time and noticed something interesting. At one moment they show some zones at current time/ ancient times (with fortifications, like Sarutabaruta), and if you look carefully at the sky ... You see a blue comet ! The comet is visible only when the zone is fortified (eg ancient times).

I've seen such thing somewhere else ... FF7, and the holy magic. Anyone else noticed ?

EDIT : also just look at the pop window where the trailer is .. the comet is there also.

No, just no. SE would never do something so stupid so that only Rank 10s or people who beat DL can enter.

It will be a mission INVOLVING the expansion. You know, like how Sky is ZM, Sea is CoP and Nyzul Isle is ToAU(Couldn't really think of any zone that's big deal mission wise so i used Nyzul Isle as an example).

Yeah, I noticed that comet too, I'm wondering if that comet triggers certain events in Vana'diel's history to come forward and become part of the present (linking to the phrase off the German site "Geschichte wird zur Gegenwart" - "History (as in the "The Past") becomes present") and the players have to move through certain events to act through the events of history (linking to "A Tale Once Lost... is about to be retold", it recalls what happened to this lost part of History and tells it to players) and it could occur something sinister like changing history through the events of the antagonist, the player will have to prevent history from changing for the worst for Vana'diel and her people, even if it does mean the orcs taking over Davoi.

Maybe all the events that the player manages to keep safe will eventually lead up to the battle of Tavnazia (Maybe we will actually ENTER the City waaaaay before the events of the battle) and fight the battle to protect the city until the "orcish weapon" destroys the path to Tavnazia making the peninsula an island. Eventually, we would fight the antagonist (as usual, and after find out some of his/her/it's backstory and why they're doing it) and fight him to stop any further damage to history, but still have access to each part of the history of Vana'diel without actually damaging the timeline.

I'm very interested in how SE will make this expansion and what activities will be in store for us adventurers, maybe some more mid lvl and end game camp sites, some more equip accordingly for mid lvls-end game, more crafts, more job improvements (please more PLD stuff! lol) etc. Winter doesn't seem to far away now lol.

that would be the idea to keep lazy people who don't want to get rank 10 out of the new areas. Dynamis lord might be little far out there, but he is the end where the war is the beginning.
 
Hrm, the Wings of the Goddess website appears to be down. At least, it sure isn't working for me. I'd like to see this trailer, but.. can't. :/

Edit: Nevermind, tried a second time and the site loaded. Nifty!

if you was to do the sandy missions you would know what causes the destruction on tavnazian (hint it not a orcish weapon), and why I hope people have to finish at least 1 city to rank 10. I hope it is a high lvl place to with lots of end game content as well. Maybe god JSE gear (yes I said it af3 <yes, please>)
 
I still think it have nothing to do with the Crystal War, hence rank 10 and Dynamis Lord is unrelated. "A story once lost" sounds like either a war that the people of Vana'Diel lost, but since the german version says "History becomes present", it sounds more like a part of history that the people of Vana'Diel forgot.

Needless say, I'm excited <.<
 
Those orcs look slightly robotic, i told you, high-tech shit. =P

Anyone able to rip that and chuck it on youtube, my internet is crap and is only letting me watch it every 3 minutes in 5 second clips and then stopping for loading... on a 2MB connection! O_o
 
This has potential of becoming epic. Remember that CoP had ties to RoZ. I doubt that the expansion will come out this year when they aren't even done releasing all the ToAU content. I hope this expansion brings some new jobs. Mystic Knight would be kind of cool.

Edit: No one saw Odin in the beginning part of that clip? No one is creaming their pants over Odin? I am thinking June will be the last release of new ToAU content if they showed Odin in that clip. I had to go through the EU website for the freaking video to work. All I have to say is omfg omfg omfg EPIC.

No i don't agree. It is bound to that war. Firstly, the music is the one of the opening movie, which represent the crystal war. Secondly, the French subtitle is "Une histoire révolue"="A past story" or a "revolved story". "Révolue" is an adjective referring to something that happened in the past and is now finished. Online translation say revolved is an equivalent word. This applies to cristal war.

Looks like we are going to redo the cristal war. Maybe because this omet is doing some time distortion crap^^
