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.

I don't think we gonna get anymore updates for RTI until Tuesday. Will see what the prem patch notes say on Friday

Main Lodestone updated. Few bits

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.

Oh my gosh I just saw

Ramza

for the first time.....he's so ugly! They dropped the ball on his face so hard.

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!!
