I still think we will see/fight him normally first - likely several times over the storyline.

The 'Utima weapon" design looks exactly like a "last boss - final form" version of him.

Epic.

Sure, let's also give everyone in 2.0 all the 1.0 achievements and rewards just for making a character~ I mean it's not a big deal or anything, so hey why don't we just remove the item completely? Throw in a Legacy status too because if you can't get it in 2.0 it just isn't fair!

Cool 1.0 people gets the white ones, everybody else gets the black ones.

lol win. Probably could make them better then white ravens - assuming Black is stronger then Mr. White.

Also black wolves - I can only imagine they look like Cloud Strife's fenrir earings.

Hell you can make it that gets assimilated by dalamud and could make him turn into Omega weapon. or Just make him and even stronger Deus.
(Btw i loves that you changed his middle name from Van to Deus SE that was really cool when i noticed it!)

But yes please bring him back EVENTUALLY. Please.

there will probably be stronger earrings in the future with same or better stats. having the white ravens simply says "i'm a skilled vet" nothing more, besides i already posses one item i know will never return in 2.0 and that's veteran enough for me.

White Ravens (earrings) to be obtainable in ARR? No, definitely not.

Nael Van(Deus) Darnus back as a storyline villain (in some form)? Yes, please.

He could come back. He was honestly Sephiroth'd with the way he died......

The crystal tower is buried under Mor Dhona. The monk quest NPC (the teacher) will tell you about it if you ask him nicely. It's like a big ass tomb for the old emperor of Allag, Xandes.

He's probably a big badass lich now.

I'm kinda torn on this.

One part of me wants to kick his ass again, but another part knows that if he does return as a storyline boss it'd be cheap to having ressurected him.

I think I'd be personally fine with his ghost just popping up from time to time as a shade like entity taunting you and Gaius. Even if you can't see him, you can probably hear his "echo", lingering. There's still a few things we don't know about Nael van Darnus, such as why he was so devoted to Dalamud in the first place, as well as why he was hijacked by Dalamud (Gonna call it here, Bahamut is in Dalamud, considering how Nael used Megaflare during his 2nd phase).

If he was to return as a boss, make it a questline that requires certain things to happen. Make his rebirth a little like Absolutes Virtue's, where you have to beat several powerful monsters which hold several of his possesions (maybe inside the Crystal Tower or near where Dalamud crashes in Mor Dhona), just minus the impossible to beat part and more of a fun instanced fight. Maybe have players gather pieces of Darnus' personal armour that still has pieces of his spirit attached in order to call him forth to banish his taunting ass for good?

I'm just making stuff up as I go here but if he was to return, it'd have to be optional and the story should be the only reward as to not annoy people who earned their White Ravens from hard mode Darnus.

i can see the threads about "oh such a disappointment its "just" ultima weapon and not Darnus". ;)
but well a good final fantasy was all about speculations :) so its a good thing that we can speculate about FFXIV ARR :D


I think he is also awesome, His Radiance, Solus zos Galvus

maybe we will fight him one day, although the lore says he's been very ill etc.



but i have to agree that darnus is really badass.. the first villain in FF Online franchise which i really enjoyed.. because he was so damn evil and had charism and character.
