In the spirit of April Fools, I will try to post things that sound fake as hell but are incredibly true starting with my favorite little easer egg! Edda's ghost; It shows up in all 3 city states during rain, and it being 2am Eorzean Time. Last image is her under the map - ThreadSky

The follow up is that it's still a percentage chance and not guarantee to see her. It is also tied to your POTD progress, if you've cleared to floor 100 she no longer appears as a ghost. The fun fact, is the devs did this randomly one day before POTD was implemented as a fun easter egg

She does also appear in the custscenes as well in the lead up to unlock Tam Tara Hard, it's fast and easy to miss but adds to the fun creepy factor!

The earlier Dev team back when the game was fairly small would just randomly do/make things. One of which is the fighting game scene! Which is a lot of fun, and hilariously most people I know don't know about it but I do feel it's a bit more common knowledge?

Urianger gave Hildibrand the idea to try and high jump to the moon back in 1.0 and (prolly because Hildibrand kept getting his name wrong. )He had every chance to stop him, and decided not too and basically implies it after Hildibrand blasts off into the sky. wild 2 see them stand next to each 2bh

Further fun facts that sound fake but are real.
1.0 Urianger was also controlled by a GM in the open world giving out cryptic messages [in german i believe] about a calamity. So people just thought he was some crazy roleplayer

Also kinda very fun but missed bit of Dialogue is Calamity Salvager, originally made to retrieve stuff from your 1.x character. He laments that fewer and fewer survivors show up as time passes. Kinda bleak but heavy.

1.0 Urianger would randomly appear in the world and cite verses from the Divine Chronicles, warning about the upcoming Calamity. But due to a bug, only the French and German texts would show from him, which made his very existence underestimated in the community at the time.

I liked when they did the like Alexander Final Fantasy Tactics thing too. Though this fighting game thing was definitely one of my favorites of the like fake alternate XIV game things. Like I'd play this fighting game.

The first time I encountered this I mentioned it and my entire FC didn't believe me, and called me crazy. I'm still not sure if they were fucking with me or not

martineei.bsky.social•24 days ago

it's most likely they didn't believe it either, even to this day it's something many players don't know about as you need to of done tam tara hm but not completed potd 100 to even get a chance and she doesn't appear for everyone in the same area it's client side

chumpersonable.bsky.social•24 days ago

Oh wow, I only knew about her showing up in Gridania!

This has been such a delightful rabbit hole to sink into. Thank you for all these easter eggs, Martin!

artsy2002.bsky.social•24 days ago

That's genuinely fucking terrifying. Does it still happen?

martineei.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes, but! You need to of done tam tara hm but not completed potd 100 to even get a chance and she doesn't appear for everyone in the same area it's client side

artsy2002.bsky.social•24 days ago
