FF12 events/dungeons?

ff12 is my favorite ff and seeing that this game borrows quite a bit from it, itd be nice to have some kind of ff12 event
maybe princess ashe visits eorzea??

archadian empire teaming up with garlean empire??

the judges and the garlean commander tag team trial???

hell, the fallen remnants of sky fortress of bahamut could be its own raid

maybe fran could be the introductory character for the viera race everyone wants???

have a fate where you must catch vaan screaming around uldah saying "dont believe in ondore's lies!!"

I'm Captain Basch!

Yoshi stated a long time ago that they're not going to do any crossover events in FFXIV with FF characters whose "stories are already complete" or feature crossover characters who are "dead at the end of their respective games." Hence how FFXIII had a crossover event - it was cross marketing for Lightning Returns, the latest and last title in the FFXIII trilogy.

As the Ivalice Alliance games are pretty much finished, I doubt very much there will ever be a FFXII crossover event in ARR - unless they do something to commemorate it's twelfth anniversary of release in 2019 (like how the FFXI event was to celebrate FFXI's eleventh anniversary of service). But that's a long shot.

This would make me so extremely happy. FFT and FFXII are two of my favorite FF games, as a matter of fact, it is because of XII that I play XIV.

When I first started playing, it reminded me so much of XII~

I remember them mentioning making use of the Gambit system from XII to maybe control things later on down the line~ Maybe we'll get more than that.

I would have thought they would be more inclined to do something when FFXV finally gets released, can you imagine a fate with that massive Adamantoise they show in the trailers.

A crossover would need to make sense, too.
Lightning has been subjected to time/space hoobajoo and thus it stands to reason she COULD appear here.
Shantotto is one of the most powerful black mages in the entire setting, and thus her coming over here because she was bored made sense.
The DQ10 thing...didn't really feature characters so much as ideas and outfits.
Having entire facets from another game with no legitimate reason why is another thing entirely. Ivalice doesn't exist in Hydaelyn, so there's not chance of the crossover you want.
About the only thing we can remotely hope for is a cameo by a character whose "story is incomplete," AKA someone who may or may not be getting a spin-off, sequel, or remake soon.
We're more likely to get Ramza, Alma, and/or the other playable characters from FFT showing up than anyone from XII simply because their ending was ambiguous enough and involved an explosion. Which would be...interesting...as all 3 of the new jobs coming in 3.0 made an appearance or even premiere in that game: Dark Knight (Gafgarion in the original translation, playable class for everyone in the WotL version), Machinist (Mustadio and Barich), and Astrologian (Orran, as "Astrologer")
Though Orran showing up isn't likely in the slightest as his story is both complete AND he's dead...burned at the stake for writing Ramza's story.

The entire Crystal Tower sidequest is directly lifted from FFIII, so they don't have too much of an issue fitting in facets from other games into the story.

Considering Zodiark is most definitely a thing in FFXIV, that's probably the touch of Ivalice you'll see ingame at some point.

There's a bit of a difference between that and what the OP wants.
Lifting something with as generic a name as "The Crystal Tower" and giving NPCs the same names and roles as they had, but be different characters from the original (with Cloud of Darkness being an ambiguous case, as she's an extradimensional entity and thus COULD be the same one), is a bit different from...transplanting the entire Empire and characters from one game and putting it in this one.
The armor of the named Garleans already draws inspiration from the Judges in XII, so I doubt we'll be getting much more than that.

Crossover, no, but a tribute like Crytal Tower is to FFIII would make me very happy. XII is my favourite too! Or even a location that resembles one in the game, like Costa del Sol or the Gold Saucer. XII has some beautiful places.

Although I was pleasantly surprised by Lightning's event (i love the saga but side eyed the crossover), I wouldn't like to see past characters come to Eorzea.


I am pretty sure (pure speculation, of course) that we will see Yiazmat in some form in Havensword, either as a raid boss or S mark hunt. 3.0 is all about dragons after all!

Yeah, I think a tribute reference would be far more likely than a direct crossover. I'd welcome either one, though, as I really like XII too.

I have the feeling SE secretly wish this game didn't exist. All other ff titles were port over to ps3 and above, but FF12 is still on the ps2. I hope one day they finally port it over to the vita.

While I'm pretty much against most crossover events, the bangaa race was my hope for the new race, until au-ra (elezen with scales) was revealed.

If not cross overs then "homages" similar to CT, Magitek, etc

I can't believe how much I realised I wanted to play a Bangaa, and when I found out they were doing a "Lizardman race" or "Dragonkind" race I immediately went to Bangaa. I've even taken a picture of the Au Ra footage and recoloured it with red skin and green scales. If that becomes possible, I'll be happy, even though it still isn't bangaa. But oh man, I'd love a good Bangaa race.

That said, I think the biggest obstacle would be the amount of effort it would take to rework all of the gear, since their bodies are often hunched over much of the current equipment would take much more work to be remodeled for them.

We already have significant ffxii crossovers in this game.

Sigh... Yes, you are right. I totally see the point. I'm still disappointed though. :(
But at least they could've taken the scale factor further.

Only X and X-2. The other older FF games are not PS3 ports. They are PS1 games the PS3 can play.
And I think FF XII HD Remastered is already in planning

About XII homage, how about a quest story around a boy who want to be a sky pirate? ^^

If you see Lost City of Amdapor final phase, it looks same with some FFXII dungeon (i forgot the dungeon name)

the great crystal in giruvegan

and omg
yiazmat anyone?

Maybe add something by selling certain combinations of junk loot a new item will appear in the shops that you can buy. That was a cool feature except for the insanely rare drops like 1% or whatever.

Please...no more RNG. I beg you. Think of the children. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Well, they have already borrowed some elements from FFT and FFXII, like the zodiacal thing and the Ascian's names are the FFXII Scion of Light's names.

The garlean's armors are pretty much based on the judge's armors. So they kinda "married" FFXII (and tactics) with FFXIV, so, that's why I (sadly) don't expect a cross-over. :(

My start city is Ul'dah because its remind me of Rabanastre.

Actually, you can get FF 1-10 on the ps3. There all are in the Playstation store, but back to the topic. I would be really disappointed if they don't do a sky pirate storyline when the expansion comes out.

Give me a long dungeon set in the Pharos at Ridorana and I'm game. I LOVED XII, Ivalice is my second favorite FF world (first being Vana'diel of course).
