From what I've read, they are making Xande into Xandes, an allagan king entombed within. The tie in has been made. If you don't like it, well that sucks. Luckily I do.

Could be spoiler for those that didn't play FF3 so going to hide it.

Since they are going to go full out with FF3 style Crystal Tower, wonder if we're going to get the dungeon after the Crystal Tower with Warriors of Dark, I already see the art for Cloud of Darkness, which was the final boss in the last dungeon after Crystal Tower. Crystal Towers final boss was Xande.

Dude if they did that I would have a fanboygasm all over the place. Considering they have the maze beforehand and the crystal tower, I imagine that they would add the last part in <3

Yep, and if they had that last dungeon BGM arranged, my head would explode. Was one of my favorite BGM's in III, FF3 had so many BGM's that made me just want to leave the game on at that specific part to listen for hours (NES version BGM)

Eureka was one of them... That just remided me... We also got to go through Eureka to enter Crystal Tower... LOL...

Wonder if they adding parts of this BGM inside somewhere - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELkQwHhCXpA

I really don't see the hype for Crystal Tower. It's going to drop ilevel gear WORSE than Coil. Seems genuinely better to just farm AK, WC, and Coil.

And a 24 man instance? :/ Really? Groups cap at eight. So why four separate groups?

Unless there's a new group feature I'm not aware of coming in 2.1.

For some of us, FFXIV:ARR isn't just about getting best gear, it's experiencing the Final Fantasy inside a MMORPG.

I doubt they'll add these in Crystal Tower later but in FF3 all the Legendary weapons (Excalibur, Ragnarok, Masamune, Elders Rod, etc) came from there (specifically dungeon inside the Crystal Tower, mentioned in my previous post), for gear wise listening to what YoshiP said at TGS, we can assume Genji set to be coming from Crystal Tower and probably Crystal gear set <--- this one is just my guess.

three groups, not four

There could be 3 rooms, in every room a boss and all three bosses need to die at the same time (just an idea)

So much this. I mean really, once you have the best gear, its kinda game over till next patch. Experiencing the story they laid out first hand is the fun part. Also, if they add crystal gear that'll make my day.

This game needs transmutation where you can keep the skin of an item.

How about those shops at the end of Eureka? Maybe they'll make an end game town for everyone who makes it through Eureka, if it's in? :D
