Echoes of Vana'diel FFXI Alliance Raid

I am very excited to see Prishe in the art there. It really annoyed me that they kept using a minor basic-model NPC like Shantotto as the game's representative in Dissidia and other crossovers when main story characters like the "mission girls" would be much more fitting. And of those Prishe is by far my favorite.

Shantotto has always been extremely popular as a character in Japan though which is why they went with her as FFXI's representative in the original Dissidia on the PSP and even into recent times with Dissidia NT (as are tarutaru characters in general). Prishe was added later in the sequel though, although I found her rather difficult to play as so I prefered the insane Windurstian BLM, rather than the immortal Tavnazian elvaan MNK-with-a-mouth.

And I still laugh everytime I remember Shantotto taunting Zidane about him being (a) "male mithra! Or perhaps not!" ;)

I really hope we get all the maidens of XI playing a part.

I'm really glad it wasn't Iroha. She's a fine character and all but I would have preferred XI's legacy to continue on through one of its more long standing characters. (Even if Rhapsodies is from 2015 lol) Prishe is a great choice for this and I can't think of anyone that's played Chains that has disliked her.

I'm so hyped for this! OMG!!

To be fair Iroha is somewhere in Eorzea probably depending on how canon her event is.

I didn't know that, but again I never played those games. That's pretty hilarious too when you know bit of the male mithra lore in Vana'diel.

I preferred Ulmia. I kind of hated Prishe. Annoying little perma 12 year old brat. (I know she's like.... 40? But she's certainly never aged like it.)

I wonder if each tier will be a set of the expansions... sounds like this first one might be a combo of Zilart and CoP? If the next one is Aht Urhgan that could be rather awesome if it somehow involves Luzaf and the whole Odin/Alexander conflict... I admit I also just want to see Luzaf in higher resolution, lol...

I think the story setting for first tier is somewhere between Vana'diel calender 855 C.E (post 855 C.E) to the Crystal War (862 C.E. around until 864 C.E): The Siege of Jeuno
The Archduke of Jeuno joined the war and the Shadow Lord sent Gigas warriors to assault Jeuno before the Alliance could assemble a planned attack.
This further evident by Prishe's existence as Tavnazia is destoryed after the Battle of Tavnazia by Orcish Beastmen
No official of Prishe where about after Tavnazia is destroyed.
