I'm expecting maybe a mix of Tactics and XII, personally.

I can't wait to see more of Return to Ivalice. But I'm really hoping we will see the Ivalice primals in some form like Mateus, Belias, and Adremmalech (sp?)

From the trailer alone you'll see Hashmal and Mateus. It's the FFXII Espers though and not the FFT Lucavi.

There's also a 360° video posted on the game's FB to explore part of the raid: https://tinyurl.com/y8tsh2j8

Belias is already in the game (or rather, hinted at) as an 'elder Primal' (the player fights an 'egi' version of him summoned during the original level 50 SMN Job quest fight, and he's just a pallete swap for Ifrit-egi). Also Cúchulainn is already in the game too as a voidsent in Void Ark.

Not to mention Ultima appeared in one cutscene in ARR (in her original PS1 FFT translation name of 'Altima') as an Ascian, I think it's clear that SE are being restrictive what Espers will be popping up in this, and not as Primals either, given that the whole context of this raid is that it's like the Minstrel's Ballad battles and merely a theatrical performance that the player character's imagination makes 'real' in their head (the 4.1 patch trailer shows at least Maetus appears in some form). But we'll see soon enough.

Hair is spot on though. Music is great too.

I am pleased with how mechanically interesting the boss fights were. Way better than Void Blahk.

THANK YOU YOSHIP AND TEAM FOR ALLOWING MATSUNO JUST GET THIS DONE FOR US.

THE RAID IS GLORIOUS. Story wise and mechanical wise too.

Can't wait for the next tier!!

I agree. The gearsets are pretty boring.

I was waiting for the last boss to say "Sickness must be purged!"

You ain't fooling anyone reusing the Vault voice sound effect.

I really love the design of the raid myself. It looks awesome, the boss mechanics are cool and fun and they look nice too. But yeah the gear sets are shite (aesthetically speaking).

The pictures are severely undermining the actual details. it's a lot better than those muddied colors would lead you to believe,

Gear is a little boring, but the mechanics were fun

I'm kinda speechless...in a negative way tho. The mechanics are fun but the raid itself is just kinda "Straight forward".

So Ivalice is actually literally canon in FFXIV then? I still don't understand. No one ever implies that Dalmasca was never part of Hydaelyn ever regardless of anything that's mentioned about it.

I don't get it either.
And I fully admit to maybe going too fast through the story-part of it... I wanted to fight the fight! :D

But I think they're saying that

Ivalice was an "ancient civilization" (basically) to what is now Eorzea.

Or something like that?

Definitely looks better in-game. I finished the Raid not too long ago, and got the Lancer body piece. That said, I am still incredibly underwhelmed. The gear dropped in the raid, feels and looks like beginner gear. Especially with those horrid looking head pieces. I don't want Lancer Class gear, I want Dragoon Job gear.

It's mostly going to come down to how strict SE is on their "we dun wanna", though. The cynical side of me says we might see them if Stormblood falters, in an attempt to bolster flagging revenue via 5.0 sales or Fantasia sales.

This gives me hope for Lupin! "off topic, kinda", but hey everyone wants a bunny, why not a wolf/dog/werewolf race too???

The gear sets in SB so far have been underwhelming across the bored unfortunately.

All the Ivalice gear looks horrendous. Even on my Ninja. I thought about getting caster body piece this week, but it's just.... ugly to look at to the eye. I wanted to get the DRG gear but looking at it, wasn't what I was hoping for in terms of Tactics. I was expecting us to get Tactics gear, not gear from a third party off brand, new character look a like contest design. :l

I wonder why they didn't have Tactics gear as raid drops, well, aside from the Samurai, which is based off of the female Samurai Tactics gear. Can't be that the demand isn't high enough. Are they just saving it for another future raid? I really hope so.
