Phoenix on Vanafest Poster!?

[Kaisha]

Doubt we'll see Phoenix again unless there's another mass killing spree occuring after what Tenzen said in CoP.

[Habu]

No it's not on top of the mountain, it flies around the zone. If you sit where Tiamat usually spawns point your camera up and wait you'll see it fly by every so often. No this is not a troll.

[wildsprite]

if they give us Phoenix I suspect we will need to first somehow quest Tenzen's sword, then kill a lot of enemies with it, since they made it clear to resurrect a phoenix you would have to spill a lot of blood, it would be super cool if they made it so we could get her though, she is one of the few Avatars I really want

Phoenix was/is inside Tenshin's blade (Though I believe he's in that kid now, or something), what/if you see anything it's not Phoenix.

[Gokku]

Tenzin had phoenix in his blade the white kid from COP fused with phoenix to beat promithia , in Abyssea the alt dimension you lost to prom and it assimilated phoenix and turned into shinryu?

least thats what i understood form my ENTER SPAM of COP and abyssea?

[Sotek]

I always assumed Promathia also assimilated Bahamut in Abyssea, because eating an emo and a bird usually doesn't equal dragon in my mind. But yeah, thats the general gist of it.

If they were to add Phoenix, I think it should be like in FFVIII rather than as an actual summon. For those of you who are ignorant: "Phoenix is a "semi-Guardian Force" in Final Fantasy VIII and can only be summoned by using a Phoenix Pinion during battle at least once. Afterwards, Phoenix will randomly appear when all the party members have been knocked out or afflicted with the Petrify status, with a 65/256 chance (25.4%) to save the player from a Game Over."
Your alliance wipes and just as your about to HP, a flaming bird flies overhead and gives everyone Arise II (Arise + no weakness). Far more epic than anything SMN will ever be able or allowed to offer. Could quite easily add a quest that requires "The Last Verse" in which we fight Selh'teus and as a reward we get an item similar to the Pinion in FFVIII. Could be used at the start of a fight as wipe insurance and you have to do the fight again to get another, or it could just be a one time thing.

They could do something similar to that for Bahamut actually. Their reason for not giving it to SMN was that he is too powerful (fairly redundant argument given Odin/Alex), giving him to effectively every player kind of avoids that issue, though that might not even be required. Would be nice if Bahamut, at the very least, worked like Primals will in FFXIV. You fight him, you can summon him, you have to fight him again to summon him again. Very basic rundown of FFXIVs future system, but I am a bit concerned that wont work well for every summon, having it like that for just one in FFXI would certainly give Bahamut that awesome feeling he deserves.

just wanted to point out that phoenix is on the box art for the Xpac. safe to say hes gonna play a part i think if theyre dropping this many hints.

No she isn't. There is no flaming bird on there, just a Zapdos.
They've not dropped any hints either. A poster with ALL the avatars on it hardly constitutes as a hint, by that logic Leviathan will play a part in this expansion because Levi is on that poster and there are numerous generic sea serpents on the expansions art work.

And what, prey tell, would the rest of her moves consist of? Phoenix is typically a one trick pony, that doesn't justify a fully fledged summon at all. Even in CoP the most she does is one fire ball then she's out for the rest of the expansion.

Like Alexander, eh?
