Wasn't this just a follow-up to the Arciela Directive? Could've sworn this was covered in the 2018 reddit dev AMA.

I wonder if it has anything to do with that weird DRK(?) who showed up during the Siren quest. I had to ask an LS member to confirm it wasn't another weird future version of me since it was my character model.
That was the spirit of Arciela's father who, for some unknown reason, got zipped out of the jungle and over to our continent and fought in the crystal war as Duskraven...

Wait, where the *** was this explained? I have the golden shovel and I remember zero mention of Arciela's father.

Arciela gets a steam powered car and you get a new mount and KI, Arciela's S.K.R.T.

BST's new buff is that they fix charm so you can use it again and remove jugs from the game.

A few years ago I would've actually been happy about this lol.

Always felt strange to me that BST gameplay suddenly shifted from being mostly Charm based to a Jug-based only.

Of course things are so much different nowadays that it would be a truly bad change now.

If I remember it's not fully explained in-game ever, maybe slightly hinted but that's it.
It was thoroughfully explained by SE employees themselves during an old Q&A session in japan, which got translated on the official FFXI forums.

I can't find the link right now, but didn't an interview state that they reassigned the story lead from CoP back onto ffxi from ffxiv?

At this point the salt from this game has formed a crust that has permanently bound my hand to its helm.

Might be the best thing I've ever read on ffxiah lmao.

It might have been vaguely hinted at in the story iirc but our only official confirmation was a Freshly Picked
