A thought in regards to Raubahn's condition (spoiler if you are new to the game)

I've been thinking about how Raubahn lost his arm and I'm wondering if Cid will ever build a magitek styled one for him. Granted, we haven't seen anything like that in the world yet but it could be cool. I wonder if Raubahn would even accept it if presented to him.

The less we see of him the better, as far as I'm concerned. We don't need him becoming the 'Barret' of FF14...and it's not like his lack of an arm impedes his ability to fight. We could have had an interesting story about his arrogance and lack of subtlety resulting in meaningful, lasting consequences. Instead he's basically unfettered by having lost an arm and he's still an amazing fighter. Yawn.

Fair enough. It's just something that has crossed my mind a few times and was curious if anyone else had thought about it.

It was the most common thought immediately after the ARR ending happened. Fans have pitched the idea to Yoshi in different events, but I don't remember if he would explore the idea or canned it.

Gotcha. I don't always get to check out the videos for those things so I wasn't sure.

I'm hoping that by putting him in Ala Mhigo, SE is effectively "retiring" him.

I'm sure he'll crop up from time to time, but honestly I'm ready for the other alliance leaders to get some screen time. Nothing against Raubahn, but it's clear he's been far more involved in the story than the others. As for his arm, he hardly seems all that inconvenienced to be short a limb. I think he'll be okay with or without a replacement.

He might still be in much the same story role as before - he’s still the head of a city-state, just a different one, but presumably considered equal to the previously-established alliance members. Meanwhile perhaps Nanamo will be the primary representative of her own country now, instead of being an “extra” at all the leaders’ meetings.

What? dude worked his ass off to get back into fighting form, making up for his disability. When you save him he's definitely not in fighting form but he makes it an effort to get back into fighting form.
