Please keep in mind that I have not completed much in-game yet (aside from the MSQ halfway into Heavensward...and some random fluff side quests!). Many of the things mentioned are meant to be TULUI'S IC beliefs rather than the actually reality of how they work! |

+ | <br><br>I am also very easy-going and open-minded and, personally, fond of Koji Fox's own stance on the lore book: ''"However, because, again, it is written by a person in the world… and scholars, you know, they have their interpretations of things and “I studied this, it must be this!” but they’re not always right. And so there’s stuff in the Lore Book as well that still is open to interpretation. We wanted to leave that. We didn’t want it to make it 100% percent definitive, but wanted to make it mostly definitive. Because, again, it is the scholars of Eorzea getting together, putting all of their information together and “This is what we believe!”'' [http://gamerescape.com/2017/01/05/lorecast-8-tokyo-fan-fest-2016/ (source)].</div></div> | ||
