Which nation do you think was most influential in the outcome of the Crystal War?
San d'Oria and its noble knighthood? Bastok and its formidable artillery? Windurst with its unparalleled magic?
This controversy can only be resolved by you!
Capture crystal fragments from beastman-held positions to attain victory and glory for your nation!

"Crystal War Revisited" has begun!

Crystal War Revisited (11/08/2007)
Posted ImageHmmm, I’m quite concerned kupo. 
 
Posted ImageWhat’s wrong? Has something happened back in San d’Oria kupo? 
 
Posted ImageWe’ve been receiving report after report of an influx of nasty orcs around Ghelsba and Davoi areas kupo. 
 
Posted ImageIt’s the same with the Quadav near Palborough Mines and Beadeaux kupo! We can’t ignore the situation anymore kupooo! 
 
Posted ImageNow 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! 
 
Posted ImageShiver to think what might happen to our three nations if these troubling trends continue kupo! 
 
Posted ImageBut you can’t mean that... Are you saying... But what about the... And the... Not another Great War kupo!? 
 
Posted ImageOh 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! 
 
Posted ImageYou’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. 
 
Posted ImageThe 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? 
 
Posted ImageSurely 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! 
 
Posted ImageHang 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How can you possibly say that it was such an outdated fighting technique that defeated the nefarious Beastmen Confederate kupo?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! 
 
Posted Image<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. 
 
Posted ImageOh that’s rich kupo! Remind me, which nation was it that came crying for help to the Royal Knights after suffering all those losses? 
 
Posted ImageThat’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.
 
Posted ImageKupo!? 
 
Posted ImageYou must be... 
 
Posted ImageIs that a fake moustache? There’s something not quite natural about it kupo... 
 
Posted ImageMind 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! 
 
Posted ImageSo that means you must know all about the Great War too, right kupo? 
 
Posted ImageHey, 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!

 
Posted ImageR-Recent!? 
 
Posted ImageYou really are untouched by time... 
 
Posted ImageOk, 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!

 
Posted ImageThat? Meaning...which? 
 
You know that nation...the city...with the people...and the buildings...and blah blah blah kupo.

 
Posted ImageDon’t tell me kupo... 
 
Hmm... Seems I’ve gone and plumb forgotten...kupo!

 
Posted ImageHuh!? How can you forget something like that! You’re the Guardian Moogle! 
 
Posted ImageTry 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”!


 
Posted Image“Crystal War Revisited”...kupo? 
 
Posted ImageThat’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!

Posted Image

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?

 
Posted ImageW-Well... It sounds fair enough, kupo. But... 
 
Posted ImageCan 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!

 
Posted ImageSimulation, 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.

 
Posted ImageAhhh, 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!

 
Posted ImageAlright! Looks like we can settle this fair-and-square and once-and-for-all kupo! The adventurers that is...kupo. 
 
Posted ImageThe reputation of the strongest nation is at stake! This is just what we needed! Well, the adventurers...kupo. 
 
Posted ImageReady battle formations! I meant the adventurers, not us...kupo.

I dont care who really wins, I want the item you get from it. But I'll have fun turning in crystals anyways.

I'll laugh if bastok wins, It will put you all inyour place :whipready:

Fixed first post to include all the moogles pics and other small stuff.

I think we should work hard to support this event because it's something new. If we make it a huge success SE will, hopefully, realize we like these kind of events better than the ones like at hallow e'en or Christmas! Hell, maybe someday we will see an event where 75's have to give it their all to get useful items! (lol)

I sold my nq glasses for 20k , and I only posted them for 10k :unsure:

It was tedious to finish, but it's actually not a bad item for level 30 XD. (unless you forget to take them off at night).
