    Crystal War Revisited (11/08/2007)

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gifHmmm, I’m quite concerned kupo.

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif What’s wrong? Has something happened back in San d’Oria kupo?

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif We’ve been receiving report after report of an influx of nasty orcs around Ghelsba and Davoi areas kupo.

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif It’s the same with the Quadav near Palborough Mines and Beadeaux kupo! We can’t ignore the situation anymore kupooo!

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif Now that you mention it, even Giddeus and Castle Oztroja are seeing a swelling of Yagudo scoundrels! I think it may be because so many of our adventurers have journeyed off to the eastern lands. It’s given the beastmen the perfect opportunity to run rampant kupo!

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif Shiver to think what might happen to our three nations if these troubling trends continue kupo!

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif But you can’t mean that... Are you saying... But what about the... And the... Not another Great War kupo!?

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif Oh no kupo!
    But hopefully it won’t come to that, kupo. After all, twenty years ago the Allied Forces of Altana ended the Crystal War in triumph kupo!

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif You’re right kupo! If the Allied Forces were to team up again they’d take care of all those mean beastmen, just like the first time around kupo.

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif The Allied Forces of Altana... That was a collaborative effort between Jeuno and the three nations, right kupo? Was it ever determined which nation was most instrumental in the alliance’s victory kupo?

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif Surely you jest kupo! There’s no question that it was my home Kingdom of San d’Oria. No enemy can withstand the mighty charges of our Royal Knight Army’s armored cavalry kupo!

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif Hang on just a second there kupo!
    How can you possibly say that it was such an outdated fighting technique that defeated the nefarious Beastmen Confederate kupo? My Bastok’s Republican Legion boasts by far the largest numbers of the four nation’s armies. There’s the Iron Musketeers and their state-of-the-art equipment! The unmatched elite forces of the Gold Musketeers! Bastok practically carried the allied effort on its unbreakable back kupo!

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif <Sigh> Oh would you both calm down kupo. Being moogles you should both know good and well the power of magic kupo! Everyone knows that if it weren’t for the War Warlocks of my Windurst, the Allied Forces would have been obliterated at the Battle of Xarcabard kupo.

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif Oh that’s rich kupo! Remind me, which nation was it that came crying for help to the Royal Knights after suffering all those losses?

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif That’s not how it happened kupo!? At the Siege of Jeuno it was the Federal Forces of Windurst that--

    --Ohohoho! It looks like you three may set off a great war of your own there kupo.

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif Kupo!?

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif You must be...

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif Is that a fake moustache? There’s something not quite natural about it kupo...

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif Mind your manors! Don’t you know who this is, kupo!?!
    It can only be the one who is untouched by time and eternally watching over all our kind kupo!
    The Guardian Moogle kupo!

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif So that means you must know all about the Great War too, right kupo?

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif Hey, that’s right! Maybe you can settle an argument for us kupo! Oh Most Venerable Moogle! We beseech you kupo!
    Please tell us, which nation played the greatest role in the success of the Allied Forces of Altana kupo?

    Ohohoho! Here I was wondering what you three were bickering about so heatedly, and it turns out to be such a recent little footnote in history as that, kupo!


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif R-Recent!?

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif You really are untouched by time...

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif Ok, that’s great. Now just please take off the moustache and tell us which nation was strongest kupo!

    Very well...The answer is...that one...you know...kupo!


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif That? Meaning...which?

    You know that nation...the city...with the people...and the buildings...and blah blah blah kupo.


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif Don’t tell me kupo...

    Hmm... Seems I’ve gone and plumb forgotten...kupo!


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif Huh!? How can you forget something like that! You’re the Guardian Moogle!

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif Try remembering...really hard kupo!

    Oh, I don’t think that would be much help I’m lucky if I can remember what I had for my last meal these days kupo.
    Well, how about I propose a friendly little competition for you instead kupo.It’s called “Crystal War Revisited”!


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif “Crystal War Revisited”...kupo?

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif That’s got a tantalizing ring to it kupo!

    The rules are simple. There are several beastmen-held positions where they have spent long years stocking up large crystal clusters kupo. As an adventurer, at the request of your nation of allegiance, go cut off and bring back a piece of that cluster...kupo!


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogim01.jpg


    After you are done, compare the amount of crystal fragments that you have each brought back, and the country whose representative has retrieved the most shall earn his nation recognition as the strongest among the Allied Forces of Altana. Kupo?


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif W-Well... It sounds fair enough, kupo. But...

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif Can such a heavy matter really be settled by a...game?

    Game!? This is a simulation that will allow you to delve into the very bowels of history kupo!


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif Simulation, kupo?

    Did I stutter kupo? The Crystal War was nothing more than a struggle between the forces of Altana and those of the Shadow Lord for the possession of crystals, no? So if you simply reenact such a struggle, then you are sure to arrive at the answer to the question you seek kupo.


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif Ahhh, now I get it kupo.
    If we fight in exactly the same manner as the Great War, then none of us can contest the outcome kupo!

    Well then, I shall be overlooking the whole affair. Take up the pride and spirit of your nation, and have at it to your heart’s content kupo!


    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic01.gif Alright! Looks like we can settle this fair-and-square and once-and-for-all kupo! The adventurers that is...kupo.

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic02.gif The reputation of the strongest nation is at stake! This is just what we needed! Well, the adventurers...kupo.

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogic03.gif Ready battle formations! I meant the adventurers, not us...kupo.

    It's better than a 3 meg technocolor palette-cycling sig featuring 3 copies of somebody's character doing various WS animations. If you ask me, it's a much better use of bandwidth and cache space.

    As for the topic, let's not forget that the single top server gets that nation-to-nation teleport service, and the rest of the servers have to take the long way between nations.

    If it wasn't against the rules to post nsfw image right?

    Midgard will probably suck at this, but it seems very enjoyable and is a fresh/new activity.

    We'll need a BG-wiki page, and this time I hope it is not struggle to get people to help out on it...

    The spectacles appear to just be proof that you took part in the event, which I like.

    There are HQ spectacles right? Maybe collect from each area? I'm on #4 now, heading to Castle O.

    Edit: Nevermind, friend of mine mentioned them before, says they might be something for the winners? Idk.

    Re: Crystal War Revisited (11/08/2007)

    I think it was mentioned in an interview that the winning nation would get the HQ version.
