The Doomtrain trial better end with a suplex SE

I'd be happy with them changing the MNK LB to suplex the train lol

Isn't Doomtrain a completely different entity in Final Fantasy? I thought this boss was Phantom Train from VI.

I am absolutely on team "The fight must have a point in it where we're allowed to Suplex the Phantom/Doom Train."

The devs have to be incorporating this into the fight somehow, right? I mean, it's the FFVI/FFV/FFXI fan service expansion. The whole "Suplexing the Phantom Train" is legendary among the playerbase. Whether you love it or think it's stupid and pointless, you know about it. It's that kind of thing, and it seems to me like creating a Train fight and not suplexing it, would really be letting some/half/most/all(Pick your answer) of the playerbase down.

That end statement is hilarious coming from a lalafel.

I am in complete agreement. One way or another, that Phantom Train needs to get suplexed. An ATE would work fine since SE figured out a way to put QTEs into the game without people hating them.

I mean, didn't Square practically (or inadvertently) invent QTEs with the Opera scene in VI, if you think about it? It's not a stretch that they'd manage this in XIV... just an annoyance that it didn't work as well in XIII-2. That said, though, an Active Time Maneuver would be all too perfect of an opportunity to appease the fans on this conceptual meme. xD

I hope when you almost kill Phantom Train it wipes your party then Sabin comes in out of nowhere and suplexes it. Also Sabin vs Godbert must happen someday.

Maybe, but in my experience, people tend to hate QTEs in games. It surprised me when they added one to Cruise Chaser and it was well received. The ones they added since then also seem to be liked. I know I like them.

Just wondering who would do it? A monk is the obvious choice but one won't always be in the party.

Doomtrain (the summon from FFVIII) is based off of Phantom Train. They're essentially the same entity just with different names and in different settings. Much in the same way Shiva and Ifrit are the same being but change designs and alternate between being actual characters or strictly summons.

See, it SHOULD be Godbert.
Hell, I'd settle for Godbert's wife.

But it would probably just be Lyse.
And if that happened, I'd probably log out for about a week.

Pretty much. People just like to pretend they are smarter and more important than they are by pointing out the mistake every goddamn time somebody referrs to Phantom Train as Doomtrain or vica versa.

Sabin is riding the phantom train and suplex I can see it.

The catch will be that the Active Time Event has to have everyone input Sabins actual Suplex combination instead of just clicking.

Damn, I just made myself want this more now.

It happened before it can happen again.

I'm just overjoyed that this finally happened. Seriously:

And I'm still not giving up on them making a nostalgic Phantom Train zone

- Me, 8 years ago on an FFXI forum. It may not be the same game, but it's damn sure good enough for me.

While I would love to see this happen, it's unlikely to happen. HOWEVER: My guess is it'll be a craftable minion after the fact, and at least part of its minion/item description will reference the suplex if not the minion idle animation/interaction.

Hell, if they create a Sabin minion to go with the train it could be a unique interaction between the two, like how Exdeath and Ghido or Louisoix and Bahamut interact uniquely.

Again while I would die laughing if we got to see the train suplex, I'm of the mind it won't happen in such a blunt and direct manner. At worst, the train flips when you beat the dungeon in a manner reminiscent of the suplex.
