I always feel like FFIX, in particular, is just the forgotten game in this anthology... which is a damned shame, because it hovers somewhere between my second and third-favorite title in the series (third and fourth if you throw FFT into the mix). Aside from Zidane's outfit - which is very well done and nice - I can't think of a single nod to IX that's present within FFXIV. And that's not to say that I need a whole freaking raid tier designed around I Want to be Your Canary... but we probably should have seen something prior to Nier getting all this love (and, frankly, I don't really like that Nier is here at all, considering it isn't a freaking Final Fantasy game).
It goes without saying that the same should be true for the flagship, FFVII. Again, we've got one of Cloud's less distinct outfits (from Advent Children, unless I'm mistaken?), and the Fenrir (which itself isn't nearly as cool as the obviously Harley-inspired bike he rode in the original game)... but that's pretty much it. I understand why they're holding back on FFVII - it makes for a pretty amazing ace up the sleeve - but, again, I think some kind of more significant event should have seen the light of day prior to Nier content being incorporated.
IMO, in the least, more costumes from each game should be added to the store - I can think of at least three costumes that are visually distinct enough in FFVII and FFIX to justify inclusion. But, really, we should have some 1-2 month long 'celebration' of both in due course (because, again, I don't need 3 raids built around fighting my way through Alexandria Castle [the Shinra HQ? Okay, I could definitely get on board for that...]).
FFVIX needs to see some FFIX and FFVII crossover events

Are we speaking about costumes? Or about content?
For FF9: Ozma, Gigi, we could also add Cruise Chaser on that list.
For FF7: the ShB trials, the guard scorpions, the gold saucer, possibly the Beehive.
And those are just the ones that are off the top of my head.
While I agree it would be nice to have more, I think the FF4 content was long overdue as well. -

Agreed.
FFIX is my second favourite Final Fantasy game overall, so I'd definitely appreciate seeing more references to it within FFXIV. I'm cautiously optimistic that we'll get some in Endwalker simply due to how similar Fandaniel is to Kuja in some respects to say nothing of the fact that the situation between Terra and Gaia is very similar to the concept behind a Rejoining.
As for FFVII, I'm expecting to see a fair few more references to it within Garlemald. -

And FFVIII. I want Rinoa's and Seifer's hair style and Edea's outfit. I'm also hoping to get an FFVII Remake event that gives us all the club music like
"Stand Up - Reprise Remix,"
the normal "Stand Up",
"Sync or Swim,"
"Funk with me,"
and "Vibe Valentino" -

You know what we really need?
An Angelo dog cannon!! :O -

Qu’s Marsh dungeon with Quina being the final boss.

07-27-2021, 01:03 PMTeraRamisOkay, so how sad is it that I forgot Quina even existed. It's like the Cait Sith of FFIX... only less iconic and more disturbing.Quote:
