Cid's Milites Empire invaded Rubrum, pretty much as a distraction while a secret task force tried to take over Rubrum's Perystilium. Got their arses handed to them by Bahamut and magic.
In return Cid deploys l'Cie piloting a crystal jammer, that nulifies Rubrum's Vermililon Crystal severing the Rubrum military from magic. Cid's Empire then goes on a rampage.
Cue Class Zero entering with Odin kicking rear.
Class Zero aren't affected by the jammer, because... (SPOILER)play the damn game
Yeah I think it was kind of a mishmash of dropping a whole load of random words and terms at you with them making very little sense. Think it suffered from Final Fantasy XIII-itis.
Yeah I had no idea what the hell was going on for basically the entire first hour of the game. Red bird good, white tiger bad.
Yeah... erm, what? xDQuote:

Perystilium - The place where a nation keeps their crystal. The Greeks and Romans had Perystiliums (sans magic crystals), which were kinda courtyards surrounded by ornate pillars.
l'Cie - Like in FFXIII. Not sure how they work in Type-0. I translate that as 'Special Magical Dude'.
Crystal Jammer - Device that stops the crystal magic. Is OP.
Yeah, that pre-new game scene was pretty confusing. Hopefully it will all make sense when nine and nine meet nine xD
I understand the crystal jamming situation though and what the empire were hoping to achieve.
Yeah I followed it OK but purely because I had been to this thread before and was forewarned to pay very close attention
It's funny how Black Turtle never turns up when developers and story writers take inspiration from mythlogies. Are turtles not cool or something?!
Reminds me of Harry Potter a lot. Vermillion Bird! White Tiger! Azure Dragon! Hufflepuff!Quote:
