Alexander Gordias, Midas, and ???

From what I read on the "tale" the third king is probably Alexander the great, who cut the Gordian Knot. But it still is up in the air about how the raid will be named. Something-something king, while admittedly it fits, just seems so expected.

I'm willing to bet Alexander Area 12 will end up causing us to fight the Spirit of Mide's Boyfriend as it takes the form of The TRUE Core of Alexander.

Something smaller and more humanoid but still with some semblance of The outer Alexander.

In FFXI, alex was also known as the iron colossus, I feel like we could get a series named "of the Colossus." Or given his main attack is holy judgment. it could be. "Of Judgment."

This iteration of Alexander doesn't really play up the holy/light-elemental alignment probably because that's reserved for Hydaleyn. The T13 equivalent may have an ultimate called Divine Judgement that looks like white energy, but will likely be 'unaspected damage'. Even DRK's spells which looks all black and shadowy deal unaspected damage, while true 'dark-elemental' like Dark IV etc, are reserved for Zodiark-aligned mobs like Ascians.

Hell, even WHM's 'Holy' deals Unaspected elemental damage.

Imagine a fight that takes place throughout the Hinterlands, a giant Alexander attempting to destroy the stuff you're standing on as you go (with actual destruction causing a wipe) and making safe places hard to find as you deactivate him from the outside after attempts to do so from the inside proved fruitless due to the time bubble.

I was honestly thinking of this as well...though given the surprise that M8S apparently through at people maybe M12S will do it for us!

That's more due the lack of Light/Dark resistances. I bet that Dark "IV" and other Dark/Light spells that The Ascians, Mhachi, Amdapori and Heaven's Ward uses are unsuspected damage as far as the game's concerned

They could just refer it to Babel in some way. They could also call it Alexander-Maria or Alexander-Futura after Metropolis. But that may be mostly of how I read some scenes as being a little Big-O-ish and the look/function of the chair that goblin was strapped to when they assembled the codex. Almost like that chair is the brain of the system while the terminal is the control unit.

I don't think the first ones are called "Alexander : Gordias" or "Alexander : Midas", but rather only "Gordias" and "Midas". The duties themselves don't refer at all to Gordias or Midas but are called "Alexander - ..."

The last one will just be Alexander imo

I did research a little about Gordios and Midas a bit after Midas got released and there is one more king that could be possible for the last part of Alexander: Croesus.

I think the next part of the raid should be named Doug, or possibly Mike.
