    Didn't Port do that first?

    Assuming Fortnite saw the gigantic commercial success that is SoTA and copied them.

    Final Fantasy XIV had a comet signify the end of 1.0 and the resulting cataclysm was the basis of the 'A Realm Reborn' relaunch so SOTA wasn't the first to use this type of imagery to shift from development to launch.

    So you're saying FFXIV developers are time travelers that saw what Shroud did, went back in the past and copied it!?

    Well I wouldn't go so far as to point out that this is event also depicts 'Dalamund' one of two moons and the one which contained Bahumat and bought ruin upon the world laying the foundation for the "Warriors of Light" to enter the world.

    Pretty similar to the SOTA backstory of having two moons and a cataclysmic event severely impacting the world before the Outlanders appeared

    In short. Don't be so quick to criticize other games that have passing similarities to Shroud.

    That was actually an artificially constructed moon used as a prison for Bahamut as well as other things. Was still pretty close, though. At least when FFXIV 1.0 went down, they had a cutscene to signify it and announcing the relaunch of 2.0. I was kinda hoping for the same type of thing to happen here, but I wasn't really expecting anything. Which is good, because that anticlimactic boot from the servers would've been disappointing otherwise. lol

    Asherons Call Beta ended with a red comet 1999. It is pretty common thing to destroy the world before release. So no, Porta wasnt the first.
