By now, many of us have seen that strange airship that occasional shows up in the background of Churning Mists, Sea of Clouds, and Azys La. Anyone stumbled on information about said ship? I thought at first, that it might be imperial, but after a few more sightings, I actually wanna say Allagan. I'm sure it'll play a role in the story later on, and may in fact be a future dungeon, but I'm interested in hearing what others might think.
So, about the "Phantom Ship"

It's likely the 24 man UFO raid for this expansion. Same thing as CT from ARR.

If so there is a theme. Coils was the Primal Raid. CT was the Allagan ruin Raid. Alexander, Primal Raid. Fancy strange ship, Allagan? Raid
-
08-04-2015, 11:16 AMDittoCoils was an Allagan themed raid. The only primals were Phoenix and Bahamut.Quote:

See, I assumed the part of the central complex in Azys La housing the "Warring Triad" would end up being the new 24 man raid.

08-04-2015, 11:34 AMEdwinLiCoil is considered Primal themed Raid in my book because the entire story of Coil focused on defeated Bahamut just like Alexander's Story is about defeating Alexander.Quote:

In Churning mist usually spawns at top of map during umbral static only goes across very slowly. -

Bahamut may have been the final boss, but he was far from the star of the show. He was just another consequence of the allagans' tyranny and hubris. 9/12 bosses are either some allagan experiment gone wrong, allagan tech, or enslaved mercydians. Honestly you could consider it a full sweep if you consider the reconstructed bahamut and his 2 tempered followers a consequence of the allagans (which they are).
Alexander on the other hand follows the traditional primal story of being brought about by worship through actual followers like ifrit, titan, etc... Illuminati hear stories of a walking fortress, worship the idea and make it a primal. Every encounter is some crazy gob machine, illuminati or some piece of alexander. Solidly primal through and through. -

It doesnt quite look allagan to me, I dont know. Makes me think of ascians from images I've seen in other threads.

Thanks Mirakumi...appreciate it the info. I would have never seen that...just don't hang around there enough.

Personally, I'm hoping it's the Lunarian Whale and that the 24 man raid will be the Tower/Giant of Babil ;p

If it looks like it came out of a tron film. It's allagan.
Inb4 its filled with allagan VIP's put into cryostasis sleep then we wake them up on accident then we have CT of HW. -
08-04-2015, 01:31 PMWhiteroomThere is a fairly securely locked door on that complex that should end up being the entrance to something else.Quote:

Warring Triad could end up being an MSQ dungeon or trial, I'd be disappointed if it wasn't a raid though. As for that ship, guess we'll have to wait until 3.1 to see, doesn't look very Allagan to me, but everything alien is Allagan in this game.
-
08-04-2015, 01:41 PMEdwinLiI would not be surprised if the Warring Triad are for a future MSQ. It would fit the part how the Garleans are both stranded in Azys Lla and that they are still trying to obtain the secrets of Azys Lla.Quote:

My bet is on Lunar Whale :>

08-04-2015, 02:28 PMSeig345
As for the Warring Triad, my first thoughts were of the Magus Sisters... But then the entirety of As Is Law just reminds me of the high tech areas in FF IV so I couldn't help myself. ;p

I think it's origin is Allagan related, but I believe it also plays a story in the Vanu Vanu mythology. If some of you guys recall, in one of the quests where you have to help a Vanu's brother become an adult in their tribe, there's a scene with a Magitek claw. The Elder makes mention that in their lore, there is a large black beast that flies through the skies, with large claws.
I'm thinking that's a reference to the UFO. It's massive, dark, and has giant claw-like fins. It's a pretty good match. And considering it's whale-like shape, I'm thinking it might also explain Bismark's origin in their mythos as well, as it might be one of it's darker toned brethren. -

Looks Garlean to me.
-
08-04-2015, 05:54 PMDaraliiAll Garlean tech is based on Allagan tech, so similarities are inevitable, but the shape and coloration don't look like anything the Garleans have used.Quote:

I'm pretty sure the people who said Coil was a Primal themed raid and not an Allagan either skipped the whole story or never played it. I'm not going to say that there isn't a primal theme too, but both the Allagan's and Bahamut's stories are kind of intertwined.

08-04-2015, 08:59 PMObysucaBah, reading the 2nd page and I thought of this too, even went and made the image, go to 3rd page and see this lolQuote:

I can very easily see the plot of said Triad in this game, mirroring FF6, as, once again, there is a highly technological empire with their sights set on their power.Quote:

Not sure if someone else posted this but Yoshi indirectly confirmed that UFO to be the new 24-man raid in the live letter a few weeks ago. We'll find out what it is in 3.1 but the most popular theory is that it's the Lunar Whale from FFIV (it looks very similar) and may be the means of transport we use to go to the moon.

That's it. It's Eurêka, then the ship and then the moon. The warrior of darkness will be a sidequest like the crystal tower was.

Could that be the Lunar Whale?
