The blue zone looks more like Beaucedine Glacier to me, but the spire looks more like Delkfutt's Tower than one of the Pso'Xja towers so maybe it's supposed to be Qufim. :confused:

Just nitpicking but that would be Fey'yin, not Pso'xja. now I can't really tell which. (tower would suggest Qufim, but maybe just a design thing)
Both have a Dynamis.
For Beaucedine :
-If Eureka monsters are on the table Cassie is is up.
-The boss of dynamis teleporting everywhere
-would make sense if we start from San d'oria (not that the first walk made sense)
For Qufim :
-Behemot is close
-Zilart fight is up the tower
-access to Misareaux so we get closer to Prishe's home ?

Edit : I'll be mad if Tavnazia is available in this game before XI

I was thinking Pso'Xja, at first glance I didn't notice the bottom part looking like the entry to delkfutt/fei'yin, as I remember those being gigantic imposing entryways and the perspective of the screenshot makes it look tiny.

I think I just assumed they did a big redesign on the Pso'Xja towers. But it's probably definitely not that.

And Fei'Yin doesn't have a tower, and has a lot of rubble in front of it.

So it's probably just a very blue Qufim.

The front of the structure is still spot on to the original, all the way down to the placement of the windows and where the flags are hanging.

Keep in mind that they're working with the current FFXI team on this and many of the former team members are on the FFXIV team. It's very possible that this design for Chateau d'Oraguille was people from the original team fulfilling their original vision.

There are some pointy spires on the gate between North and South Sandy. I think the XIV version still fits with the architectural look of the city.

During the aurora weather qufim looks a bit bluer than normal, not quite to the degree of the xiv screenshot but I can appreciate they might want it to be a bit more vibrant than usual.

Good catch. Totally agree.

If anything I hope that there will be a Ronfaure orchestrion roll for this raid... I am obviously very biased, but I would be over the moon with Ronfaure playing in my elezen's house...

I was a patriotic Windurstian in FFXI and even I support this fully! Ronfaure simply has to be an orchestrion roll here in FFXIV. A beautiful and stunning piece that is one of Uematsu's greatest (and most underappreciated) tracks. <3

And for those who never played FFXI and don't understand what we're talking about...

The chances of Ronfaure being included are pretty high I feel. They seem to be including much more music than usual, I feel like I've already heard half the original OST in the first entry of the collab lol. Personally my dream track would be Battalia Downs but that's probably very unlikely.

I wonder if they'll do that FF11 deal again... but hopefully for this patch so it's in the public consciousness.

I do need to visit Vana'diel proper someday.

Since they added prishe’s boots to the may login campaign, there might be more back and forth after the second and third walks are released. It was pretty fun visiting all the areas the raid passed through in the ffxi graphics afterwards.

Come on devs... Still time for that Galka minion(Tradable).

Pretty please?~ ;v;

(Isn't this the tower where you first meet Zeid too?)
