Does VoidArk has any Trivia to previous FF?

I know that the previous 24-man dungeon was directly trivia to FF3, but what about this new one in 3.1? Does the boss name familiar to any previous? Cait Sith would be FF7 I guess, but those bosses are not something in FF7

The first boss, Cetus, appears in a spin off game "The Four Heroes of Light".

The third boss, Cúchulainn, is this lovely fellow from FFXII. Who is a summon, or Esper.

And the Final Boss, Echidna, is a monster from the Original Final Fantasy, FFIII, FFIV (and the after years), and FF Legend III.

Diablos, though not an actual boss, is a summon from FFVIII and Cait Sith is reoccurring enemy, summon, and character in Final Fantasy games.

Huh? is that the same Diablo in the easy dungeon we fought before? In that sense, why did we run away instead of fighting him and protect the coffer?


btw, Cúchulainn seem to look very different.

His looks are somewhere between the FFT version, the FFXII version, and adding tentacles. The fight itself is very reminiscent of the FFXII version, though.

Cuchulain is also from FFT. Well, he's from Ivalice.

Diabolos was just awake in Lost City of Amdapor, now he's more powerful.

Weird that Echidna wasn't in WoD, but the Atomos thing was instead. I mean they're all Voidsent anyway, but woulda made sense to have the original 4 Fiends+CoD in the WoD raid.

Diablos awoke after being sealed for a thousand years and was greatly weakened by his imprisonment. When he escaped and got to the void ark he was quite weak still to start with, so much so Cait Sith dismissed him as an annoyance at first. He has had a lot of time to regain his strength and he is in a ship powered by void magic. He is much more of a threat now.

I agree with this. It feels like Echidna should have been in WoD, since FFIII, and Atomos in Void Ark, especially considering they basically used a modified XI Cait Sith model (XI's actually somehow has more detail) and Atomos would fit more with that, for a nice little parallel to fit Void Ark.

I'm starting to see the resemblance in those body markings he has that looks similar to the ones on the boss back. Also there was another sprite version that had his front torso stitched shut around a large gash running the length. Toss some teeth in there and it'll look more like the lower half.

Small unrelated thing, because I may as well complain about it here. I preferred Diabolos' FF8 name to his current one. I know it sounds odd but I prefer the pronunciation of "Diablos" (Dee-Ahb-Lows) compared to "Diabolos" (Dee-uh-boe-lows)

Also Cuchulainn adds (Foobars) have the same name as the ones from FFXII.

The issue was that 24-man raids have a 4 boss limit, so she would have had to have been reduced to a trash mob (like 2-headed dragon, who was replaced with 5-headed dragon) or cut and reused later.

I think it's better to have cut her and made her unique.

Meanwhile, Cúchulain more closely resembles his Lacavi from from Tactics as Cúchulain: The Impure King. This is near impossible to find support for from google, but Foobar is another name for "Black Pudding" which is a sausage made from blood. It's popular in Europe and Asian countries, but I can't figure out which one calls it Foobar... I think from what I can turn up it's a variation specific to Finland...

The aesthetics are closer to Tactics, yeah, but the fight itself is very much XII.

Definitely a mix between the Tactics and FF XII version, especially with the colour scheme from Tactics, and the fight is definitely similar to XII ... but with none of the flare. I was a little disappointed that this was what FFXIV came up with for Cuchulainn... In Tactics and FFXII he was a serious badass. This guy handed out some royal butt kicking's, but in FFXIV hes... just bleh. Same goes for Atmos. That guy literally ate (that's right, straight up devoured) an entire city in FFIX, but in XIV he's just a squshy trash mob. Kinda sad.

Ahh the Fubar mobs, pleasant puddings that like to spam Dark & debuff you to hell and back in the Nabreus Deadlands.

"Diabolos" is the correct transliteration of the Attic Greek διἆβολος (lit. "slanderous", but etymologically the origin of English "devil".)

Your pronunciation guide suggests you're mispronouncing it, anyway; it would be better represented as "dee-AH-bo-los". (And the 'los' rhymes with 'dose', not 'hose' or 'boss'.)

Most DF groups I've been in might disagree on the "badass" part, seeing as he's the hardest part of the raid right now. Though thats partly because it seems some people don't know they can actually move when he turns to attack them instead of the tank.

As well, while IX Atomos did a lot of damage, its not the only game it was a part of...and if we really are gonna talk about awesomeness I think the XI version was the most awesome one in that regard? (never actually played it but I think I remember something about it being a major part of atleast one xpac). As well since their was the whole Atomos Prime thing in WoD, I think its possible a more powerful Atomos could show up later, similar to how Diabolos can now actually show his power.

XI's is far and away the most destructive Atomos, yes. It literally eats dimensions and entire worlds that it deems unsuitable for existence.

And the greatest thing about it?

You don't have the power to do anything against it, beside fulfill its wishes and give it what it wants.

Also, the expansion was Wings of the Goddess. It was a pretty depressing Expansion in general, for many reasons.

At this point I was extremely happy that Chuchulainn made it in and kept the whole poison theme. Chuchulainn was already one of my favorites (My characters name originates from him. In FFXII he occasionally uses "Malaise" - "Miasma" in german. It got stuck in my head for eternities and so I went with that.) I'm happy, I wish he'd have used Malaise and Blight but Bile Below and Pestilence are pretty darn cool. Also 500 bison double $$ "Black Lung" probably would've been called "Miasma" if it wasn't for the arcanist spell. (at least in my dreams)

Now I want to see Ultima and Mateus. Bring back the Lucavi, SQEX!

I always took Foobar for the pudding mobs as being a short combination of words meaning "Food Bar". Given the current raid boss eats them for an attack boost it almost makes sense in connection to food.

The joy of translation. In the French version, he was called Nosferatu.
