A second raid to go along with Coil would be a great Idea, and I can think of a setting that would be perfect without having to introduce new lore last minute.
Praetoreum Ruins.
The unleashing of energy caused by the Ultima Weapon being destroyed has imbued Garlean creations with even greater power than their former master had ever hoped, and they are breaking out of thier bonds deep in the Ruins of the Garlean Stronghold.
No, this wouldnt be a "destroyed" version of the current Prae, but an entirely new area we have yet to explore.
This could also be a great place to Bring in some old but good mechanical bosses.

Ultima is made of technology, not energy - he absorbed the Primal's Aether and gained their powers. When fighting Ultima, each Primal slowly leaves Ultima and returns back to the Aether like killing any Primal did before him. So Ultima really couldn't do that kind of thing, especially since Ultima is a product of Allagan technology which has shown to be vastly superior to Garlean's.
Also, all the monsters in Coil (excluding Twintania) are machines themselves, so we'll likely see Ruby Weapon and the like in there. -

Give me Kefka's Tower. Somehow. Make it happen SE!

03-01-2014, 04:18 AMMoheeheekoOk, better idea then. Cid finds the site where the garleans dug up Ultima, and we stumble across Diamond, Emerald, Ruby and Omega weapons. Each fight being it's own of course and then having Omega akin to Ultima, but instead of primal abilities it has Weapon abilities.Quote:

We may get something in relation to the Amdapoor at some point. They seem to be building off of their mythos little by little.
Other than that, Coil is great, CT is great (save for the face palming, rage inducing trolls that show up).
They should really consider adding a raid that can be done in varying difficulties (something that I think WoW did well) so that you can do it 8 man, 16man, and 24man (or at least 8 and 24) with unique rewards to each.
Something like "The Cave of Trials" or "Omega Ruins" where we can fight some more iconic enemies from the series! -
03-01-2014, 04:25 AMMoheeheekoOh I agree both are good, it's just clear we need more raids that drop endgame loot, one raid isn't cutting it at the moment.Quote:

If we got Kefka's tower it wouldn't have Kefka in it and that is basically all people want that place for - Visage, Machine, and Lady/Rest were all cool and fun but it's not like they were anything special compared to CT bosses of FF3. I'd much rather we had an entirely new place like Coil than another version of CT.Quote:

I doubt we will see any new raid zones until the first expansion, they seem quite happy with their little coil one patch, crystal tower the next, with a new dungeon then adding in some primal/hard mode dungeons. Their team is stretched thin, because they are still trying to catch up to what should have been out at release. Already stuff is coming later and later then "anticipated," 2.1 was over a month late, 2.2 we were told would hit in March, but the first half of the live letter is March 22nd, so I doubt the patch will land before April, and with the PS4 launch April 14th, I'm guessing they will either line the patch up with it, or put it after, but I think we can all anticipate plenty of emergency maintenance, and enough hotfix patches to make April feel like we are getting ripped off for those that go ahead and reup subs for that month.

03-01-2014, 05:44 AMSwishytailWut. They did a LIVE letter in January highlighting 2.2, I'd imagine that makes the one in March the second LIVE letter.Quote:

Yeah the March 22nd Letter is part 2 of 2, with the patch notes likely being posted immediately after the letter and the patch itself within the next couple of days.
As for new raids, I'd certainly like a little more variety in that department, especially since their current plan seems to be having a single max level raid and (half of the time) having a much easier one 10 (or so) levels below the max. It would probably throw off their desired pacing by a lot, so I wouldn't expect it until / unless they want to modify itemization a bit (sidegrades) or they want people gearing up twice as fast for one reason or another. -

Ha I forgot about that first half of the letter, it was the pretty short one where the second part of it was a get to know the team member thing, hopefully they are holding back some secret content that they will surprise us with instead of just the topics they have listed.

03-01-2014, 06:35 AMEnkidohSadly, that's not possible either - as Minfilia stated that Gaius had recovered it from beneath Ala Mhigo, which still isn't accessible to this day. I love the Praetorium ruins dungeon idea though - maybe have the player competing against a Garlean reconnaissance team sent to recover any data concerning Nero's experiments, maybe even have him show up there for a rematch. ;)Quote:
