Regarding Anima (Endwalker Spoilers)

Anima was done dirty ):

I was expecting more. She is my fave Aeon from X and every game play through I got her without fail.

I did wipe to her once so I will keep that as a memory with her.

I mean... no? Anima is in the story only very briefly. It's not even a character. It has no story relevance, and its backstory is pretty much non-existent.

FFX spoiler

Anima is Seymour's mom. That's it. It's the mom of the tertiary or even the quaternary villain of the game, who himself is hardly more than a hurdle on the way to Zanarkand.

Anima definitely deserved to be a trial, and I'd say Hermes too, but when you're dealing with Zodiark and Hydaelyn as well and only have two mid-story trials to work with... what can you do?

I do wonder... 6.1 will give us Endsinger EX. What if instead of new story trials in the rest of 6.X, we instead get EX trials for Anima and Hermes?

Like a lot of people have been saying I dont see it fit as a trial solely because all slots were used for big story points.

That said a raid would fit better, but I believe they said EW raids were gonna be unique bosses instead of revisiting older or other game bosses like theyve done before.

Considering the magnitude of the current EW trials, yeah... Anima doesnt even compare sorry...

Why is everyone only choosing between the msq trials and msq dungeons instead of later trials? They could have delayed Anima and Magus for trials in future patches instead of throwing them in the leveling dungeons as fodder.

Yes, let's do the Tower of Zot without its iconic boss. Magus Sisters were the only choice for a boss for Tower of Zot, tbh.

Barbariccia is also in the Tower of Zot yes? They could have added a narrative to it for the Magus Sisters wanting revenge at some later plot point considering they're her minions/protectors.

trust me, dropping the four fiends as simple dungeon bosses would have had the same (or probably worse) outcry
