I would go bonkers if they showed off all that gear as possible drops.

I know its an unpopular opinion, but I am of the stance that we desperately NEED more job/race specific gear. There is plenty of gear that is open to everyone or every job in a specific role. In a game where rp is so important it's sad they don't let us have more job/race/cultural identity alongside the diversity the system already gives us.

Just as long as we don't have the drama where the first two red mages in line for a hat have to miss our scheduled Dynamis-Xarcabard run, so of course that's the run that THREE HATS DROP.

Prishe!

Jeuno!

So, this is basically 'FFXI the Theme Park Version'.... Interesting choice of characters in that top image - Lady Lilith, Shadowlord.. Gulul (sp?) JaJa and.. The Cloud of Darkness.. and not surprising Prishe is along for the ride (I was hoping Lion and maybe Aldo would be showing up too), so I guess this is just for the first tier.

A love letter to Vana'diel basically (which, I am totally okay with! :D).

Sorry for the confusion, the first image is the patch artwork, I think only Prishe and Shadow Lord relate to the alliance raid.

Seeing HD Jeuno is wild. I immediately thought of the light pole near the AH area that my linkshell and I used to always hang out around back in the day. Must also be nostalgic for the people on the team that worked on the original to now be working on this version.

That's Bakool Ja Ja

The Cloud of Darkness is the 24 man Chaotic Alliance Raid which looks pretty insane

Lovely to see Prishe and Jeuno , I guess we will have to wait till November to have more details. I loved FFXI and left to come here in 2010 but I have lots of amazing memories.

I hope the raid is done well and we get some nice rewards music outfits. I noticed the sky in Jeuno looks cool and FFXI always had cool looking skies ^O^

I'm not really sure where you'd put bosses in a Jeuno raid. Is it going to be one big trash pull to Qufim? Will there be a Rolanmart boss arena? I guess Ru'Lude is mostly a large square, you could put something there with some creative liberties.

Although if they've also shown the Throne Room maybe we'll just start in Jeuno and make our way to Xarcabard? So the boss fights would be in like Batallia, Beaucedine, Xarcabard/Zvahl, Throne Room?

The throne room wasn't a barren circle or square in the screenshot, so it might be the hub.
